Summary of 20th Century Atomic Bomb and Nuclear Weapons Test Film Clips and Images
This CD-ROM presents 98 video clips of historic American nuclear tests, from the first atomic bomb test at the Trinity Site in 1945 to the spectacular hydrogen bomb blasts in the Pacific. The Department of Energy, in cooperation with the Department of Defense, declassified a series of historical films on the nuclear weapons program. These films document the history of the development of nuclear weapons, starting with the first bomb tested at Trinity Site in southeastern New Mexico in July 1945. This is the first time the films have ever been edited for declassification and public release. (Portions of some of these films were previously released.) Included in the short film clips: the first hydrogen bomb test known as Mike in 1952; the Bravo shot in 1954 which surprised officials with its historic 15 megaton yield and produced unexpected fallout; Operation Argus which exploded small bombs 300 miles over the south Atlantic; Plowshare blasts to test the use of nuclear bombs in excavation projects; nuclear effects at sea; various Air Force delivery systems; and amazing artificial aurora produced by Pacific high-altitude blasts. In addition to the movie clips, there are 170 image files with still photographs of the various nuclear tests.The movie clips are in the standard MPG format. The documents are reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the CD.
