Absolutely, they were fully setup for radiation monitoring and surveying in advance. The press release about the "massive ammo dump explosion" that was used after the test contained a mention of possible evacuations due to "poison gas shells", which was a cover for evacuations because of radioactive fallout detected in the surveys. Several small ranches east of the site were actually evacuated because of radiation. At least one ranch up a side canyon wasn't even on their maps but was discovered by accident while doing one of the surveys and had to be evacuated.
