Nuclear Explosions – I am become Death [34 Pics]

Nuclear Explosions – “The effects could well be called unprecedented, magnificent, beautiful, stupendous and terrifying. No man-made phenomenon of such tremendous power had ever occurred before.” Quote: General Thomas Farrell.

Mushroom clouds forms as the center of the explosion is VERY HOT and hot air rises from the middle, pulling up the rest of the explosion (the smoke and debris) from the surrounding area. The middle rises faster because it’s hotter, so it becomes more of a mushroom shaped.

You can never look straight at a nuclear explosions for the same reason you can’t look at the sun. The the momentary flash of a nuke is MUCH brighter than the sun (for a tiny fraction of the second), which will overload your optic nerves. You don’t even have time to blink or turn your head.


Nuclear explosion: Operation Crossroads – BAKER
Test:Baker; Date:July 24 1946; Operation:Crossroads; Site:Bikini Atoll lagoon, Marshall Islands; Detonation:Underwater, depth – 90ft(27.5m); Yield:23kt; Type:Fission;
Second test in the Crossroads operation and the 5th nuclear explosion in the mankind’s history. Baker was the continuation of the study of the nuclear weapon effects on the naval vessels and personnel. The bomb has been encased in a watertight shell and placed beneath the landing ship LSM-60. LSM-60 itself has been placed approximately in the center of the target fleet which consisted of 71 vessels. Closest to the device was the aircraft Carrier USS Saratoga. To study the effects of the heat, blast and radiation numerous lab. animals, plants and even biological warfare agents were brought in and placed on the target ships.
 Eight ships were sunk or capsized: USS Saratoga, USS Arkansas, the submarines USS Apogon and USS Pilotfish, the Nagato, LSM-60, the concrete dry dock ARDC-13, and the barge YO-160. Eight more vessels were severely damaged.
 The explosion lifted several million tons of water in the air. In its apogee the water column was 2000ft(600m) high with walls 300ft(100m) thick. Obviously the explosion generated huge waves in the ocean. Aircraft carrier USS Saratoga’s stern was rising 43ft(13.5m)! above the surface, on the crest of the first wave.
 The entire lagoon has been contaminated with radioactive particles. Matter of fact, for the first 24 hours after Baker detonation the radiation levels were lethal, and remained very dangerous for the next week.


Nuclear explosion: Operations Castle – ROMEO
 Date:March 26, 1954;
 Operation:Castle; Site:Barge in the Bravo crater, Bikini atoll;
 Detonation:Barge Shot; Yield:11 Mgt; Type:Fission/Fusion;
 Originally Romeo test was the 6th in the Operation Castle schedule. However, extremely successful Bravo test changed the schedule, and Romeo has been moved to second position. The device used in the Romeo test, Runt I, was a larger version of the device used in Bravo test. It measured 224.9 inches in length, and had a diameter of 61.4 vs. 179.5×53.9 in Bravo device. The difference was in the fuel. Runt I used inexpensive, unenriched Lithium (7.5% Li6 isotope) deuteride. Original yield projection was 4 mgt, with the range of 1.5Mgt-7Mgt. As you can see no one was certain how this device would work. Mainly it was an experiment to see if the cheap thermonuclear fuel would work.
 After Bravo test the projected yield has been doubled, 8Mgt, and the maximum yield increased to 15 Mgt. The explosion yielded 11 Mgt. Hence, it was almost 3 times higher than the original prediction.
 Romeo was the first US nuclear test conducted on the barge. Considering that multi-megaton explosions were practically costing an island per explosion, there were no other choices. For the reference, the Romeo barge has been anchored in the Bravo crater.


Nuclear explosion: Operation Dominic: AZTEC
 The AZTEC detonated 27. April 1962 on Christmas Island, It was a 410 kiloton Nuclear Bomb.


Nuclear explosion: RANGER
RANGER Operation – 1951 – Photograph of detonation; specific test not identified.


Nuclear explosion: TRINITY
Trinity was the code name of the first nuclear weapons test of an atomic bomb. This test was conducted by the United States Army on July 16, 1945, at a location about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, at the White Sands Proving Ground, Trinity was a test of an implosion-design plutonium device. The weapon’s informal nickname was “The Gadget”. The Trinity detonation produced an explosive power equivalent to the explosion of about 20 kilotons of TNT. This date is usually considered to be the beginning of the Atomic Age.


Hydrogen Bomb explosion: Operation Castle: BRAVO
Castle Bravo was the code name given to the first U.S. test of a dry fuel thermonuclear hydrogen bomb device, detonated on March 1, 1954 at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, as the first test of Operation Castle. Castle Bravo was the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the United States, with a yield of 15 megatons. That yield, far exceeding the expected yield of 4 to 6 megatons, combined with other factors, led to the most significant accidental radiological contamination ever caused by the United States. Fallout from the detonation — intended to be a secret test — poisoned the islanders who had previously inhabited the atoll and returned there afterwards, as well as the crew of Daigo Fukuryū Maru (“Lucky Dragon No. 5″), a Japanese fishing boat, and created international concern about atmospheric thermonuclear testing.

Nuclear explosion: Operation Hardtack 1: OAK
Test:Oak; Date:June 28 1958; Operation:Hardtack I; Site:Enewetak Lagoon; Detonation:Barge, 8.6ft elevation from the surface;
 Yield:8.9mgt; Type:Fission/Fusion;
Oak was a test of prototype device for TX-46 system designed in Los Alamos. A 8.9 Mgt detonation. Oak became 6th largest nuclear detonation even conducted by US.

Nuclear explosion: Operation Hardtack 1: OAK



Nuclear explosion Ivy: MIKE
Test: Mike; Date:October 31, 1952;
 Operation:Ivy; Site:Elugelab Island, Enwetak atoll; Detonation:Surface; Yield:10.400 Mgt; Type:Fission/Fusion;
 The device called Sausage, detonated in the Mike test was the first true thermonuclear bomb ever tested. However, the Sausage was not a deliverable weapon. It was an enormous, complex device, 80 inches wide and 244 inches long. The entire assembly weighted 82 metric tons.
 The explosion yielded 10.4 Mgt. Mike’s fireball measured 3 miles. The cloud formed by Mike shot was immense. Stabilized, it reached 135 000 ft high, and stretched 60 miles in diameter, which eventually spread over 1000 miles.
 Mike destroyed the entire Elugelab island. The crater formed as a result of the explosion measured 6240ft(1.5Km) across and 164ft(53m) deep. Following the test, high levels of radiation covered most of the Enwetak atoll.
 This was 4th largest test ever conducted by US, (the largest at that time). For comparison, this is more then all allied bombs dropped during WW II together.

Nuclear explosion Rhéa
Picture of an atmospheric nuclear test in French Polynesia, August 1971. The test took place on the 14th August, 1971, was a thermonuclear warhead codenamed Rhéa and yielded 1000 kt. It took place in Moruroa, and the picture was taken at about 60 km from ground zero.


Nuclear explosion: Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Atomic bomb mushroom clouds over Hiroshima (left) and Nagasaki (right), During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the first on August 6, 1945 and the second on August 9, 1945. These two events are the only active deployments of nuclear weapons in war to date. By executive order of President Harry S. Truman, the U.S. dropped the nuclear weapon “Little Boy” on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed by the detonation of “Fat Man” over Nagasaki on August 9. Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki.


Nuclear explosion: UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE
Nevada Proving Ground – Complete destruction of House No. 1 located 3,500 feet from ground zero, by the March 17, 1953 atom blast at Yucca Flat. The time from the first to last picture was 21/3 seconds. The camera was completely enclosed in a 2-inch lead sheath as a protection against radiation. The only source of light was that from the bomb.

  1. This situation is just like the nuclear genie, that we have let out of the bottle.
    According to the scientists nuclear pollution will take 4.5 billion years
    to decay into harmless substances.
    That is 4,500,000,000 years.

    So the nuclear bombs that we are exploding all the time,
    under the guise of depleted uranium, in Iraq, Libya
    and all over the world, and the nuclear power plants,
    that are either attacked and destroyed, or past their useful life,
    will leave us their legacy of suffering and death, forever.

    It is beyond the ability of man to correct, and reverse the situation,
    of the earth, oceans and air that are being rapidly poisoned.

    Man has no solution.
    Only the intervention of Christ can solve this problem.

  2. It certainly is a scary situation, especially now that the warmongering Zionist have nukes.

  3. I wonder how many tests the Russians and Chinese have run. For that matter, how about Britain, France, Israel, India, Pakistan... Add Chernobyl and Fukushima and viola, we're killing the planet.

    Nice job MIC. Couldn't eat just one!

  4. It has become horrifically clear: 'weaponry' is the real reason we use uranium to create electricity.

  5. I worked & taught maintaining the U.S. stockpiles. Yes; they are terrible weapons. I don't fear them one bit. What I fear most are the people who use them both as political leverage and as threats against the people of this planet.

    Thank You for the picture display. I enjoyed them very much. I can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of the posted descriptions.

  7. Crazy people will always be crazy people no matter what kind of silly costumes they wear.

    All this 'chaos in a bottle' was created via tax payer dollar by people that were and still are certifiably insane. We played along with them. Believed their lies that we "needed them", and what has it got us in the end? This has been the case all over the freakin' planet and the only reason people are waking up to it now is because the problem is reaching a head. Insanity will not and can not support life and this simple fact would have been explicitly obvious to people had they bothered to take off their rosy colored, materialistic eyeglasses and see what they were seeing.

    The insanity of Hisroshima and Nagasaki and how Americans wrapped themselves up in their little flags to deflect the reality of such a crime caused over 200,000 deaths with scores injured and doomed to suffer the consequences of the resulting fallout. What, couldn't find any military targets to drop those new toys on? Had to be civilian populated cites right? At least the Japanese had the courtesy to attack a naval port. I imagine any public shipyard packed with men, women and children would have been a much easier target than a military installation. Hopefully Truman is burning in hell right now, because IMHO he committed one of the greatness war crimes in human history - along with the usual "we were just following orders" crowd.

    In the end, only the intelligent flame of judgment will sort things out. It's out of mankind's hands now. This shouldn't be a worry to those that have seen through the crap, and are willing to call 'a spade a spade'. But, for the people still living in denial, and still believing the lies and happily living in the illusion of righteous, justice and freedom, the flame of judgment represents the closing of their books, the conclusion of the their story, a story that has gone on for long enough and does not DESERVE a happy ending.

  10. to anyone saying "it's out of mankind's hands now" or "only god will save us" or even "fuck america/Israel/France/ etc.", then i have news for you;

    1. we made nuclear weapons, and thus, like everything else man made, we can undo it.
    mankind evolved from swords to nukes in some 300-400 years time, while about the same duration times 10000 would be required for a turtle to evolve.
    point is; with mankind's rate of development, in some 100-400 years we will either leave earth on spaceships, to colonize alpha centauri or mars, or we will have both the answer to nuclear pollution and the energy issue with a renewable, non polluting energy source.

    2.god's bullshit; if there was a god then he would get off his ass and do something about all the things that happened in history; the holocaust, 6 - 7.1 million dead in terrible torture; development of nuclear weaponry; Hiroshima; Nagasaki; Chernobyl.

    god who's supposed to guide and protect humanity only inspired people to go on stupid crusades and murder and kill and rape and rob more; thus god's existence is null and void, and is in fact a comfortable excuse for those people who have "holy wars", saying ;"well, we did nuthin' bro, it was god *points upwards*, herpaderp."


    3. if it wasn't the Americans, it would've been the middle east, or Europe, or the far east, or Russia, to develop nuclear weapons; humanity's GREED for POWER is infinite; we desire it every day and every moment, even if we can't tell.
    honestly, it's better that the americans developed it; who knows what'd have happened if nukes ended up first in soviet russia's hands? or the religious fanatic countries of Arab? or Hitler?
    WE'D ALL BE DEAD RIGHT NOW.

    quit the bitchin', man up, grow a pair, and realize something;


    IT'S EASY TO SAY" well, aw fudge, we messed up, lets wine in the corner and write hate peaches!", BUT IT TAKES SOME BALLS TO ADMIT THE MISTAKE, AND REPENT IT BY UNDOING IT.

    DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE WITH YOUR LIVES, BECOME A DOCTOR OR AN ENGINEER OR A SCIENTIST, AND DEVELOPE SOMETHING BETTER THAN NUKES OR NUCLEAR ENERGY, AND GIVE HUMANITY A TOY SOMEWHAT LESS HARMFUL TO PLAY THEIR LITTLE WARS WITH.

    NOW GET OUT OF MY LIE OF SIGHT, YOU DISGUST ME.

  12. It is amazing how people react to nuclear weapons and their use without having any knowledge of history.

    First, Japan forced our hand in using nuclear weapons on them.
    They were defeated, their populace was about to face mass starvation, we had almost run out of military targets after bombing Japan for months.
    The fact is that Japan's military leaders refused to surrender.

    The death toll of Americans, the Allied forces and the Japanese themselves would have been more than ten times the death toll of the two atomic weapons dropped.
    The Allied forces were massed to invade Japan because Japan simply would not quit fighting.
    People were ready to end the fighting and the atomic weapons pushed Japan's leaders to reluctantly surrender.

    Also, Soviet Russia was poised to invade Japan and had declared war on Japan only four days after the first atomic weapon was dropped on Hiroshima and one day before the second weapon was dropped on Nagasaki.

    By the time America dropped the two atomic bombs on Japan Soviet Russia already had enough information about the design to start construction of their own bomb.
    This information was smuggled out of Los Alamos by Klaus Fuchs while the weapons were being designed.

  13. I grew up with this stuff. I still remember the duck and cover drills in 2nd grade. I was lucky enough to see Trinity site 3 times, a complex part of my past.
