‘’’Operation Dominic I and II was a series of American 105 nuclear test explosions conducted in 1962 and 1963. This test series was scheduled quickly, in order to take advantage of the Soviet abandonment on the 1958-61 test moratorium. Most of these shots were conducted with free-fall bombs dropped from B-52 aircraft. Those conducted in the Pacific[?] are sometimes called Dominic I. The blasts in Nevada are Dominic II. Twenty of these shots were to test new weapons designs, six to test weapons effects, and several shots to confirm the reliability of existing weapons. The Thor Missile[?] was used to loft warhead into near-space to conduct tests; these shots were collectively called ‘’’Fishbowl’’’.
