the effectiveness, yield and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. Throughout
the twentieth century, most nations that have developed nuclear weapons have
tested them. Testing nuclear weapons can yield information about how the weapons
work, as well as how the weapons behave under various conditions and how
structures behave when subjected to nuclear explosions. Additionally, nuclear
testing has often been used as an indicator of scientific and military strength,
and many tests have been overtly political in their intention; most nuclear
weapons states publicly declared their nuclear status by means of a nuclear
test. JUST LOOK AT WHAT THIS COLLECTION HAS TO OFFER!!!
ATOM BOMB 1946. Early atomic weapons testing film. Total Runtime Appx. 7 minutes. OPERATION CROSSROADS 1946. Operation Crossroads was a series of nuclear weapon tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll in the summer of 1946. Its purpose was to test the effect of nuclear weapons on naval ships. The series consisted of two detonations, each with a yield of 23 kilotons. Able was detonated at an altitude of 520 feet (158 m) on 1 July 1946; Baker was detonated 90 feet (27 m) underwater on 25 July 1946. A third planned burst, Charlie, was canceled. Total Runtime Appx. 27 minutes. Special Delivery 1946. Airplanes and missions of the U.S. Army Air Forces, emphasizing Operation Crossroads (the Bikini Island atomic bomb tests). Total Runtime Appx. 13 minutes. TRINITY through BUSTER-JANGLE 1952. Originally made in 1952 this carefully sanitized film to edit out sensitive technical information was declassified in 1997. It covers the first test at Trinity in 1946 to the BUster-Jangle test in 1951. Highly detailed with very informative explanations on each of the tests. A must have for historical refernce to the early atomic weapons program. Total Runtime Appx. 22 minutes. Military Participation on BUSTER-JANGLE 1951. Operation Buster-Jangle was a series of seven (six atmospheric, one underground) nuclear weapons tests conducted by the United States in late 1951 at the Nevada Test Site. Buster-Jangle was the first joint test program between the DOD and Los Alamos National Laboratories. 6,500 troops were involved in the Desert Rock I, II, and III exercises in conjunction with the tests. The last two tests evaluated the cratering effects of low-yield nuclear devices. This series preceded Operation Tumbler-Snapper and followed Operation Greenhouse. Total Runtime Appx. 75 minutes. Exercise Desert Rock 1951. Exercise Desert Rock was a 1951 experiment by the Atomic Energy Commission working with the US Army to "allay fears and uncertainty regarding nuclear radiation and gamma and x-ray effects on humans and animals". The test was done at the Nevada Proving Grounds with an estimated 5,000 troops in a tent encampment approximately 27 miles from ground zero. Total Runtime Appx. 27 minutes. Operation GREENHOUSE 1951. Was the fifth American nuclear test series, the second
conducted in 1951 and the first to test principles that would lead to
developing thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs). Conducted at the new
Pacific Proving Ground, all of the devices were mounted in large steel
towers, to simulate air bursts. Succeeded Operation Ranger, Preceded
Operation Buster-Jangle. Operation IVY 1952. Operation Ivy was the eighth series of American nuclear
tests, coming after Tumbler-Snapper and before Upshot-Knothole. The purpose
of the tests was to help upgrade the U.S. arsenal of nuclear weapons, in
response to the Soviet nuclear weapons program. The two explosions were
staged in late 1952 at the Pacific Proving Ground in the Marshall Islands. Military Participation on TUMBLER-SNAPPER 1952. Operation Tumbler-Snapper was a series of atomic tests
conducted by the United States in the spring of 1952 at the Nevada Test
Site. The Tumbler-Snapper Series of tests preceded Operation Ivy, and
followed Operation Buster-Jangle. The 280 mm Gun at the Nevada Proving Ground 1953. The Grable Event, part of Operation Upshot-Knothole, was a
test of a 15-kiloton atomic artillery shell fired from a 280-mm cannon on
May 25, 1953 at the Nevada Proving Grounds. Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE 1953. Operation Upshot-Knothole was a series of eleven nuclear
test shots conducted in 1953 at the Nevada Test Site. Operation CASTLE Commander's Report 1954. Operation Castle was a United States series of high-energy
(high-yield) nuclear tests by Joint Task Force SEVEN (JTF-7) at Bikini Atoll
beginning in March 1954. It followed Operation Upshot-Knothole and preceded
Operation Teapot. Operation CASTLE Military Effects Studies 1954. Operation Castle was a United States series of high-energy
(high-yield) nuclear tests by Joint Task Force SEVEN (JTF-7) at Bikini Atoll
beginning in March 1954. It followed Operation Upshot-Knothole and preceded
Operation Teapot. Operation Teapot 1955. Operation Teapot was a series of fourteen nuclear test
explosions conducted at the Nevada Test Site in the first half of 1955. Operation Cue 1955. Eerie nuclear tests on houses and dummies at the Nevada Test Site. Total Runtime Appx. 14 minutes. Operation REDWING 1956. Operation Redwing was a United States series of 17 nuclear test detonations from May to July 1956. They were conducted at Bikini and Eniwetok atolls. The entire operation followed Operation Wigwam and preceded Operation Plumbbob. The primary intention was to test new, second-generation thermonuclear devices. Fission devices intended to be used as primaries for thermonuclear weapons, and small tactical weapons for air defense were also tested. Redwing is notable for having demonstrated the first airdrop of a deliverable hydrogen bomb - test "Cherokee". Because the yields for many tests at Operation Castle in 1954 were dramatically higher than predictions, Redwing was conducted using an "energy budget" - there were limits to the total amount of energy released, and the amount of fission yield was also strictly controlled. Fission, primarily "fast" fission of the natural uranium tamper surrounding the fusion capsule, greatly increases the yield of thermonuclear devices, and contributes the vast majority of the fallout - fusion being a relatively clean reaction. Total Runtime Appx. 31 minutes. Operation Argus 1958. Operation Argus was a series of nuclear weapons tests and missile tests secretly conducted during August and September of 1958 over the South Atlantic Ocean by the United States's Defense Nuclear Agency, in conjunction with the Explorer 4 space mission. Operation Argus was conducted between the nuclear test series Operation Hardtack I and Operation Hardtack II. Contractors from Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as well as a few personnel and contractors from the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission were on hand as well. The time frame for Argus was substantially expedited due to the instability of the political environment [bans on atmospheric and exoatmospheric testing were forthcoming]. Consequently, the tests were conducted within a mere half year of conception (whereas "normal" testing took one to two years). Total Runtime Appx. 45 minutes. Operation HARDTACK Basic Effects Tests 1958. Operation Hardtack I & II was a series of 72 nuclear tests
conducted by the United States in 1958. With test moratoriums on the
horizon, American weapons labs rushed out many new designs. Hardtack I was
carried out in the Pacific Ocean, at Bikini Atoll, Enewetak Atoll, and
Johnston Island. Operation HARDTACK High Altitude Tests 1958. Operation Hardtack I & II was a series of 72 nuclear tests
conducted by the United States in 1958. With test moratoriums on the
horizon, American weapons labs rushed out many new designs. Hardtack I was
carried out in the Pacific Ocean, at Bikini Atoll, Enewetak Atoll, and
Johnston Island. Operation HARDTACK Underwater Tests 1958. Operation Hardtack I & II was a series of 72 nuclear tests
conducted by the United States in 1958. With test moratoriums on the
horizon, American weapons labs rushed out many new designs. Hardtack I was
carried out in the Pacific Ocean, at Bikini Atoll, Enewetak Atoll, and
Johnston Island. Project Dugout 1960. Lawrence Radiation Laboratory Technical Film Report, part-animated, showing underground nuclear detonation tests. Total Runtime Appx. 8 minutes. Operation DOMINIC Nuclear Tests 1962. Operation Dominic was a series of 105 nuclear test
explosions conducted in 1962 and 1963 by the United States. Those conducted
in the Pacific are sometimes called Dominic I. The blasts in Nevada are
known as Dominic II. This test series was scheduled quickly, in order to
take advantage of the Soviet abandonment of the 1958-61 test moratorium.
Most of these shots were conducted with free-fall bombs dropped from B-52
bomber aircraft. Twenty of these shots were to test new weapons designs; six
to test weapons effects; and several shots to confirm the reliability of
existing weapons. The Thor missile was also used to loft warheads into
near-space to conduct high altitude nuclear explosion tests; these shots
were collectively called Operation Fishbowl. YOU WILL NOT FIND THIS COLLECTION ANYWHERE ELSE OR FOR A LOWER PRICE!!! COMPARE TO OTHER SELLERS WHO ONLY SELL ONE OF THESE FILMS FOR THIS PRICE!
