A lot of details in <https://fas.org/sgp/othergov/doe/lanl/osti/408695.pdf>. There is also a wikipedia entry <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Explosions_for_the_National_Economy>. It is not clear who would be "having to deal with the leftover radiation"--there wasn't a lot released from the canal testing and it was a long time ago. There were other tests of peaceful uses of nuclear weapons that did not go so well.
