The Upshot – Knothole Harry test at the Frenchman Flat site released a large amount of fallout . A significant number of sheep died after grazing on contaminated areas . The AEC however had a policy to compensate farmers only for animals showing external beta burns , so many claims were denied . Other tests on the Nevada Test Site also caused fallout and corresponding beta burns to sheep , horses and cattle . During the Operation Upshot – Knothole , sheep as far as from the test site suffered beta burns to their backs and nostrils
