Abstract
The Csi scintillator telescope aboard IMP-III indicated a peak intensity of 6·25 proton/sec cm2 ster for a SPE (Solar Proton Event) commencing during the period 1600 to 1700 UT on August 28, 1966. This SPE appears to have been associated with the importance 2–3 flare occurring at 22N/06S at 1522 UT on this date. The comparison of this event to other large proton events occurring during the period May 25, 1965 to September 30, 1966, is made.
