Operation Project 58A 1958

Serie på to underjordiske amerikanske  atomvåbenrelaterede forsøg i Nevada forsøgsområdet i den første del af den kolde krig.
Oplysninger om operationen er stadig skjulte som klassificeret eller maskeret information.
Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory sikkerhedstestede to enheder den 6. og 9. december 1957. Disse afprøvninger var de samme som sikkerhed eksperimenterne udført under Operation PLUMBBOB. University of California Radiation Laboratory sikkerhedstestede to enheder den 22. februar og 14. marts 1958. Disse typer af enheder blev testet for optagelse i operationelle atomprøvesprængninger. / The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory safety-tested two devices on 6 and 9 December 1957. These tests were similar to safety experiments conducted during Operation PLUMBBOB. The University of California Radiation Laboratory safety-tested two devices on 22 February and 14 March 1958. These types of devices were being tested for inclusion in operational nuclear tests.
Atomvåbenforsøgene kom efter Operation Project 58 og før Operation Hardtack I.
