    My father saw the first two tests at Bikini Atoll called Operations Crossroads in July 1946. We had photos my father personally took, but my elementary school borrowed them for a display and never returned them. My father was a a radar tech, but called a radioman. He told me of walking on the atoll with Geiger counters after the tests, and the counters were going crazy. Fortunately, he never suffered any disease from being exposed to high degree of radiation. He passed in 2009.

      my father as well was part of the operation(s) at Bikini island and other places, he was a seagoing marine stationed on the USS Curtiss, which was the main transports for those bombs to tests sites. Still have some of his old photos, and copies of the "famous" originals, the goggles they wore to block out the brightness from the blast. My dad even went into how if you held your forearm up to your goggles while the blast went off, you could see into your own arm, the tissue, blood flow, the blast causing an x-ray effect for those on board the ships, and around the island.

They were instructed to duck below the level of the side of the ship. Cover the eyes with their hands. He told me those sides were one-foot-thick steel. Then he said this, "I could see the bones in my hands and could see the explosion clearly through a foot of steel".

      It flattened the entire forest on the island in siberia with just the air blast. The fireball in these large nukes is actually doing very little destruction in comparison to the air blast imo.
      You could destroy at least 1/3rd of LA easy with a Tsar Bomba. Hiroshima is like a thimble in comparison, had what like 200k or 300k people? It's population and Nagasaki's doubled 1 year after the war when they were mostly rebuilt by that time and thankfully not permanently radiactive thanks to the airburst method used carrying a lot of the radiation into the upper atmorphere by cross winds and high winds.
      The weather during those attacks was such a huge consideration its nuts - they called it off I think 7 times because of visibility obscuring the or too low of cross winds to carry out most of the fallout. It's crazy how much they actually knew and were capable of. I mean youd t hink when scientists on the project say something like "We're afraid it could ignite the atmosphere to like the one of 6 sitting Senators that knew about the project that it'd get shut down in favor of just continuing firebombing.
      I'm pretty sure it could maybe even temporarily blind you if you looked right at it for too long tbh. There's a video I played if forget what its called but the nuke in the multiplayer was adjusted by fan made mods to be of realistic size and "anatomically accurate" to the real thing, fireball, air burst etc. And even at a safe distance it is insanely bright and you can barely see anything for almost an entire minute til the smoke rises over the fireball its hardly orange at all its bright fucking yellow - brighter than the sun tbh, I had to look away from the screen as well - and just like i always thought - most of the damage is from air blast being insanely wide. LIke a minute man that we have all over the place ( a few in italy still i think) is weaker than a tsar bomba i think its like maybe 10 or 20 megatons. But one of those has maybe a few miles wide which is nothing to scoff at of course yet the airburst doesn't EVEN SLOW DOWN despite resistance on skyscrapers and stuff for like 27 fucking miles.
      The good thing about these big bombs is they cost an insane amount of money to make and transport. Ya cant really practice with them at least few countries do it anymore at all. And when they do blow them up back int he 60s 70s and 80s the footage is so old the sense of scale is difficult to imagine. Todays youth should get to see one blown up in Nevada at the base with a probably a hundred miles of nuclear craters on it. And just blow up one of the big ones out there in 16k and put that shit out there just so people can respect the power of it all.
      And btw I dont think nuclear winters are even possible and ill end my multi point rant with this: over 2000 nukes have been blown up of ever increasing magnitudes on this planet - ALL Over it. In the ocean ( france actually is the biggest offender here not the US, they probably killed entire species of fish with their tests ) in the upper atmosphere, on land, right above land, below land as well. It doesn't matter how much dust it kicks up, even 10 or 20 of them back to back to back which was VERY common in the 60s as far as I could tell, pale in comparison to the winterizing effects of most volcano eruptions and REALLY REALLY pale in comparison to even ONE of the large forest fires Cali produces on a monthly basis. I mean 70 miles of grass and shit was on fire there not long ago. I looked at it from space and the smoke was like half the size of a hurricane, in other words hundreds and hundreds of miles of it.

      Actually, when you look at both the blast, shock wave, and extensive heat, one Tsar Bomba could irreparably damage most all of LA. Of course, the radiation would also make it and the surrounding area uninhabitable. Unless by "LA" you meant the entire greater LA metro area (which many people think of when they say "Los Angeles"), by that metric, you are pretty much spot on.

    From the middle of his thighs both of his legs were as if his bones were made of rubber. His legs and feet looked somewhat normal, but there was no rigidity to his skeletal structure as a result of having spent time standing in radioactive sand following the tests.

      We were definitely testing them to see how effective they'd be in combat. Formulas were created to scale the expected yield of the explosive based on input materials. After about a dozen tests, there wasn't much need to see how big it could go boom, aside from when the USA and the USSR were trying to one-up each other with yield flexes.
      Many of the tests were done to see how well certain materials could hold up to the blast and at what distances, how the blasts affected the environment, how the blasts would affect infrastructure, how the blasts could harm the population, how the blasts would work underwater, underground, in air, and in space. Tests were done to sample fallout dispersal and which explosives would yield the most or least fallout, how winds would carry it, how certain types of nuclear explosions would generate differing yields of fallout, etc.

    The Tsar bomba actually had a potential to produce a 100 megaton blast but was scaled down to 50 megaton due to the fact that the plane dropping it would have had no chance of survival, amongst other things.
    To put into context a 100 or even a 50 megaton blast would COMPLETELY vaporize ( turn to dust) the greater London area, not to mention the secondary damage and radioactive fallout.

    • @AccAkut1987
      @AccAkut1987 3 месяца назад

      They scaled it down by making tamper sections of the fusion stages out of lead instead of uranium. Had they used uranium, the fast neutrons from the fusion would have caused it this tamper to fission, resulting in even more energy release and much more fallout.
      I recently learned about test shot Housatonic of the Operation Dominic series, which was the (known) cleanest nuclear explosion ever. Of its 10 MT yield only around 5 kT came from fission, the rest was fusion.
      Another issue with bombs this big is that the energy is pretty much wasted, doubling the yield from 50 to 100 would not result in double the destruction on the ground, all the oomph would go into the higher atmosphere instead.

    The Tsar Bomba was originally designed as a three-stage thermonuclear device with an intended yield of approximately 100 MT, but Russian scientists found that it would have been unstable, so they eliminated one of the three detonation stages to reduce the yield to about 50 MT.

    • @KrisKringle2
      @KrisKringle2 2 года назад +24

      My understanding is that they replaced the planned last stage Uranium jacket with lead, so they lost the final fission boost which would have produced half the power of the original designed 100 MT yield, thus yielding the 50 MT blast. It also used several cores cobbled together rather quickly to get a demonstration weapon ready due to politcal timing. It was a 'stunt-ish' bomb made to impress rather than a well designed bomb. The biggest single core bomb is a US bomb that yielded 25 MT. Once you get to those sizes and above they really lose their utility because they are so long ranged, You're wiping out significant fraction of entire European countries with one or a few bombs. They also get hard to deliver. The Tu-95 never would have been able to deliver them without being shot down well before reaching any targets, and typical missiles couldn't loft them. They would have required things like the Saturn 1B at least, which isn't a quick reaction rocket. And then once you get to bombs above 100 MT, you find that the horizon prevents the further effective destructive range (a space explosion isn't going to generate the shock waves, over-pressures, etc.) You effectively wind up blowing a maximum volume of atmosphere roughly consisting of the horizon-diameter atmosphere column into space faster and faster the bigger the explosion, instead of affecting larger areas.Multiple smaller bombs and MIRVs are much more useful.

They agreed to 50% of the force. It wasn’t about being unstable it was about it being way too powerful .

    As an experienced pilot who has flown up and down the Hudson River since I was first licensed to fly airplanes in 1969, I can accurately superimpose the "lake" created by this blast and conclude it would be similar to a device eliminating most of the central Manhatten Island. The shock wave would probably go out at least 25 miles in all directions decimating Newark N.J. and going as far as, if not further than Wayne, N.J. All other life beyond those boundaries would be hard pressed to remain alive. But what do I really know? This is just my humble opinion.

  • @mskellyrlv
    @mskellyrlv 2 года назад +74

    The "Tsar Bomba" story is fascinating. Russia released a previously classified video of the project last August, and I have to say that it was really impressive - very will organized and executed, despite the relatively primitive technology the Soviets had at the time. Andrei Sakharov, the architect of Soviet thermonuclear weapons, had "thrown his body across the railroad tracks" (as a friend of mine in the nuclear weapons world put it) to use a lead rather than depleted uranium radiation case to house the second stage of the bomb. The uranium case would have resulted in a yield of at least 100 megatons of TNT. It was a good call Sakharov's part, since the crew of the specially modified Tu-95 drop aircraft was given only a 50% chance of surviving the test - and it was a really rough ride for them. Sakharov was concerned about the fallout that might result from the full powered bomb, but his insistence undoubtedly saved the lives of the drop and documentation aircraft crews. I remember vividly hearing the news of this bomb test on my parents;' car radio, when I was 7. It scared me sh*tless. This was probably the one human-caused event that could have been observed by extraterrestrials as far away as 100 light-years. This one bomb, dropped by one airplane, had an explosive energy release more than 10 times greater than all of the explosives used by all sides in World War II, combined.

    It is important to note that post Second World War, the atoll's inhabitants were forcibly relocated in 1946 after which the islands and lagoon were the site of 23 nuclear tests by the United States until 1958. That is the only reason that the atoll was uninhabited. A similar thing was done in Australia where the Anangu people were removed so that the British could conduct their nuclear tests. The Maralinga Tjarutja Land Rights Act 1984 gave these people native title to the area in 1985, however the area is still contaminated.

      I know we have not yet seen the fullest destructive capabilities of Nuclear Weapons, and I understand completely what you are trying to say. But imagine the entire world locked in a brutal world war and the fighting with Japanese in the South Pacific is slow and Arduous, and victory is measured generally with body count. Millions of innocent lives have been taken in this war and the detonation 2 key nuclear bombs proved to be the catalyst that was necessary to stop the conflict. The environmental damage was severe enough that even governments that benefitted greatly by having these bombs in their arsenal saw the need to severely regulate their use and today most militaries will take a bomb that can land directly into a man’s cup of coffee than a bomb that just turns into a fireball with a 5-mile radius. Precision guided bombs are much better than lighting off the worlds biggest fire cracker. For one thing, the country who decides to go ahead and use one of it’s nuclear weapons will have enough time to light it off and then sit in on a debriefing for maybe an hour and if he clicked on the news then he would most likely see every major city in his country on fire. Not that a mad man cares but that’s reality. Mutually assured destruction.

      @@flashmore3 Oh yes, the typical misguided blame. It appears that you don’t believe that God even exists. Yet you were expecting Him to magically appear and fix all of our problems? In order for you to believe what you believe, God wouldn’t be able to just come and intervene in our affairs any time some unbeliever thinks He should. So you have this thing about you where you can choose to be whoever you want to be. Most people choose to be part of some kind of uncleanness. If God is to be the being He is he cannot take part in uncleanness. So long ago he surrendered us over to our own will and judgment. If He had not done this then all humanity would just believe in Him.
      With that said, let’s consider what you are trying to get at. “Where was this God when…”? People all over the world want to turn their fists and shake them at the Heaven’s when some man made disaster happens. This God was everywhere, just as he always has been. To blame him for not coming to the rescue when you don’t even believe in Him is typical of the arrogance that Humankind displays. We can destroy each other and Hod will not stop us. But he is ready to completely deliver us from the uncleanness that envelopes the entire world.
      Humans think they are in charge of something. It’s astounding. We aren’t in charge of anything. The fact is we often times wake up in the morning and then just grab on and hang on for the ride. We can’t control the color of one hair on our head. Scientists have discovered that the spectrum of light is so vast that what our eyes can see constitutes only 3% of what is actually out there. In other words, there is a reality, whole dimensions of time and space that exist in the 97% of light we cannot see with our eyes. God will always exist in the space we cannot see with our eyes.
      We have all been condemned to die, and each and every one of us will pass through those gates. Jesus Christ was the only man who died, and then in front of many people overcame death. By overcoming death, he provided us a blueprint to do the same thing. This is not religious jargon or some denominational nonsense. Rome, the most powerful army on my he planet sought to bring the whole world under its reign. But the powerful events that came to pass in the life of Jesus spread so quickly they could not even murder those who were becoming believers in Him fast enough.
      Think about that. The people who believed in Jesus Christ did so at the risk of death. Rome and the Jewish communities would have murdered them just for saying that they believed in Jesus. People don’t risk death for a fairy tale. Rome spent several hundred years attempting to control the spread of this Christianity through murder, but it became apparent to them that they could never be successful doing this. So they completely changed their tactics and came up with the brilliant idea of trying to hijack Christianity and they created Roman Catholicism. Then they just taxed anyone who believed in Christianity and and murdered anyone didn’t pay taxes to belief. They also sold imaginary places in Heaven to people who had the money. They built a vast empire on the fortunes collected through this racket.
      None of that changes anything that Jesus Christ ever did. He isn’t responsible for the percersions of mankind. He simply gave everyone alive access to something that could never die or be killed. A method to purify ourselves from the uncleanness of this world. Believe it or don’t believe it. Read this, or just let your eyes glaze over and your heart harden to it. It will always be here for anyone ready for something better.

    According to what I have read, the Tsar Bomba was designed as a 100 Megaton thermonuclear, and I think it was no less than Sakharov himself who cut the blast in half, by using lead instead of uranium as the pressure "tamper" instead of the customary uranium 238, which is fissile by the neutrons from the fusion stage. In other words, unlike all the others, it was a pure H-Bomb.

      The hunger for power is built into humans, mainly males, to achieve evolutionary dominance over both threats from the natural world and from the other humans seeking conquest.
      The fear of being second in the dominance hierarchies drives jealousy, envy and greed. These are the roots of war.
      War advances te technology.
      Maybe the only saving grace of thermonuclear fusion energy will be diverting an asteroid like the Chicxulub event.

      No. The March 1954 test was planned well ahead of Robert *Oppenheimer*'s suspended security clearance in Dec 1953. *Edward* Teller was boss man on design of Teller-Ulam devices. Castle Bravo was under the control of LANL scientist Alvin Graves, who was superior to the military. *No*body anticipated that Li-7 as well as Li-6 was ignitable, thus leading to the runaway yield.

      @@Camcolito Yeah. It's literally just humans, "acting," like "adults." A concept that implies you know better.
      Being adult goes no further than biology. It's just your body and mind reaching a certain point. It doesn't mean your every decision is the good one. It doesn't mean you are an actual adult.
      The world is filled with children acting like adults, dressed in suits, ordering stuff. Most acting in self interest, for some ideology, religion, or some random bullshit. People in charge are the cool kids, others are just playing along with it to have a decent life.
      It's not bad. That's how our species works, regardless of the system. What's bad is that we don't admit the fact that most adults are just pretending to be adults. When shit goes wrong, we don't want to admit it.
      That's how stuff like Chernobyl happened. A bunch of children playing a power game didn't want to admit that they fucked up. They kept playing politics, power games, kept pretending to be an adult. While the real adults sacrificed their lives and did everything they can to prevent a disaster which was about to cause more disaster.
      And it wasn't just the Soviets. West did the same shit too. They eated all the Soviets shit up because seemingly Soviets admitted a mistake, a fuck up. The west was more than happy to point out the "enemy," and make fun of it.
      It took a couple more years and a man who took his own life leaving tapes behind & them circulating in science community, for actual measures to be taken by Soviets. Up until then, it was all pretending adults making mistakes, acting like children, laughing at each other, trying to hide their mistakes and blaming others for their mistakes.
      They were so delved into their power game that instead of admitting the actual mistake, they lied about it and created a false mistake. It's mind blowingly stupid cluster fuck how far the pretending can go.

      These weren't "tests." These were display of power.
      The world isn't that fucking big if you are detonating a fucking nuclear bomb. Russia doesn't need to release a footage of a nuclear weapon test to display power to American government. Whenever a nation does a nuclear weapon test by detonating it, be damn sure that the others know about it even before it happened.
      Every government has spies, satellites, tools to measure thing happening on the world. Even "smaller," countries probably know about it after the test happened, even though it's not released to public.
      You go to work one day, measure slightly higher radiatons. Some other guy goes to work one day, reports an earthquake on some random fucking location on Earth with no history of earthquakes.
