16MM , MOTION PICTURE , 15 MIN, DEMONSTRATES EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION UPON THE HUMAN BODY , EMPHASIZING FACT THAT BODY RESISTANCE VARIES WITH INDIVIDUALS
What they don't tell you: "In order to minimize your personal amount of injury it is recommended you grab a drink and get as close to the target site as possibly. Your body will most likely be disintegrated before your pain receptors will feel anything."
I was told it sounds like thunder, after a close lightning strike. That was told to me by an instructor I had in the army chemical Corp, who had been present when the Atomic cannon was tested.
This is wrong. 1 gram of mass was converted into energy, NOT 1 gram of uranium fissioned. If I recall, the amount of uranium that fissioned in the little boy bomb was around 600 grams. This did indeed make it inefficient, and most of the uranium did not fission, and was blown apart. Fat man had a comparable but larger amount of plutonium fission, but was much more efficient, perhaps around 20% or so.
@@kzm1934 Now when you think about this you will begin understanding why interstellar space travel without some exotic technology that probably only exists in scifi like capturing "exotic matter" from unobtainium in order to produce singularity generators that bend space itself or create stable wormholes, the problems of simple distance and time, scaled with energy, is teh problem, in other words the human lifetime up against rate of change is the problem, you are likely not going to be able to have biological beings transiting the stars. Even if you have all the shielding, think about what happens when you are firstly forcing a piece of metal and plastic the size of a small city or an ocean liner to speeds a fifth the speed of light. Now imagine that thing's mass hitting a grain of sand, immediately converting that much stored kinetic potential energy. Literally specks of dust floating in space would be like slamming into a thermonuclear bomb, if you are traveling manually. The implications for E=MC2 are truly saddening for all of us that really wanted to see the stars. Just getting a tiny little probe out there in less than a century and it surviving the trip is maddening.
I think a couple thousand extra lymphoma cases is *not* the group who suffered the most from this radiant crescendo; who else got caught in the afterwind?
@@BimmieJames There was actually a huge number of cancer and immune disorder cases iirc in upstate New York in the like 1980s because all that testing that was happening, even though it's so far away it was actually downwind from the above ground tests. I can't imagine how messed up some random farmers in the Midwest got. I've seen some maps of potential fallout patterns, and realistically I've realized two things from this, A) that the number of firestorms can actually be enough to shift the weather patterns on the day of destruction, B) you are never, not ever going to truly know which ways the fallout is coming due to the fact all our satellites and global communications are going to be knocked out. So. More likely than not, especially as nobody is going to have a working AM radio for the offchance any government CoG bunkers still exist to even warn us about the fallout pattern's spread, no one is even going to know for sure if they are actually about to be wallopped by some huge ass tail of fallout from a major area of destruction. Like the burning of LA and Minot AFB may not actually follow the trajectory you've likely seen on some of the possible fallout pattern maps, in fact there are numerous different potential patterns especially depending on the day and seasons, and those tails are LONG. You can be literally 500 miles away and still get dosed immediately downwind from the worst of it, while thinking you are far enough north or south of it. I mean I guess not that it matters much, if you are somehow one of the unlucky ones and still alive the next day, you might as well just be operating under the expectation if you come out from your root cellar a couple days later you are going to get radiation poisoning and die. However, the thing is, is that in some states like Texas they often don't even have basements (this sounds really retrded to me when considering living in tornado alley and having hurricanes too but the soil etc. besides the point) but even if your home does have a basement, you are unlikely to have enough covering the top of it to stop the radiation from coming directly down on top of you from falling on the roof. Most of the people who'd survive the first blasts and fires would be in more rural, smalltown areas. Meaning exactly the kind of places to only offer dilapidated barns and single story houses for shelter, with some of the only real brick and concrete buildings being places like the local elementary school or high school, and those places don't offer much shelter either. Realistically, an absolutely massive number of people will be dying in the first month after the initial millions that died in the firestorms and buried beneath rubble. This will be followed by within the first couple years an even greater amount dying of starvation, disease, exposure, and random violence etc.
Problem" does "C" suffer from entropy, or is it "designed" with a rapid young age, winding down to a "default", that we don't have yet? Medically, probiotics are to be a "rapid response" to alpha particles. As your flora is "zapped".

Facts
Yep, there's more to nuclear explosions than just the flash and bang, as this film covers, very basically. Thanks for posting ATC!
I've always found it interesting that an atomic explosion sounded like a rifle shot. Yet they used a different explosion sound.
I was told it sounds like thunder, after a close lightning strike. That was told to me by an instructor I had in the army chemical Corp, who had been present when the Atomic cannon was tested.
Fun fact, the amount of plutonium that actually fissioned to pure energy to flatten Nagasaki was just 1gm or roughly quarter of a teaspoon😮
I heard Little Boy was also just 1gm of Uranium fissioning. The rest just blew apart. The hydrogen Tsar bomba was the most efficient explosion.

@@kzm1934 Oops, thanks. Fission does not equal coversion to energy.
@@kzm1934interestingly the actual sub critical ball of Plutonium in fat man was around 6kg so still very inefficient from a yield perspective.

Hi from UK
Hi also from the UK.
Watch the movie "Threads".
YEP! It will scare the hell out of you. @@buzaldrin8086
Thanks for posting.
Nice
Im from Hungary. Rest in Peace Ede Teller.
Rip to all the veterans that were used as lab rats to fuel humanity’s need for destruction.

Thanks for your continued efforts to get these videos to the public
Thanks
I wonder how long it’ll be before this video gets age-restricted.
