Subject: When U.S. observers noticed the change in orbit of the Russian satellite Cosmos 954, a series of planning steps began within elements of the U.S. Government to prepare for the possibility of a reentry with subsequent dispersion of radioactive debris over a populated area. Consequently a computer-generated code name, Morning Light, was assigned to this impending reentry problem to simplify reference for planning purposes among the various departments and agencies of the U.S. Government. When the reentry and debris dispersal actually took place over Canada's Northwest Territories, the search and recovery effort of the Canadian Government proceeded promptly with U.S. cooperation, carrying by mutual agreement the same name for convenience of reference
