The United States's Emery nuclear test series was a group of 16 nuclear weapons tests conducted in 1970-1971. These tests followed the Operation Mandrel series and preceded the Operation Grommet series.
The underground Baneberry test vented into the atmosphere. For descriptions, see Yucca Flat#Baneberry and List of military nuclear accidents#1970s
