An amazing and shocking laboratory presentation in condensed form of Operation Castle - Shot Bravo. The magnitude of destruction cannot be lost as measurements of total destruction are made in ten's of ten's miles, and a magnification 1,000 times greater than that of Nagasaki and Hiroshima detonations.

Here we are in 2024 . I’ll bet NO country with nuclear capability uses any bombs measured in kilotons . In short, I’d rather die in the initial blast than suffer for days or weeks afterward
You lose your bet. Anything over 250kt has its main radiological effect the contamination of the entire planet, rather than just the target area. 5 MT for example causes an own goal as well as damage to the enemy. 3 x 250kt not only does more blast damage than a 5 MT, but also concentrates fallout on the target area. Also cheaper to make.

They didn't care at all who they hurt doing this stuff. It's reprehensible. Makes you wonder what they're doing to innocent civilians right now. Can't imagine they changed their ways at all.
That's not exactly fair. They put in place all the safeguards they could to protect human life, but Castle Bravo wound up being over twice as powerful as they had expected and the winds shifted immediately after the shot.
Back than safery and gealrh standards were very different from nowadays. Doctors made commercial promoting s cigarettes for example. People were exposed to leaded gasoline, drank water from lead piping, doctors smoked while treating patients, asbestos was treated as just another construction material, etc etc. So you have to put these nuclear tests in the right context of the tome they were conducted and not compare them to our modern standards. Times have changed. Atmospheric nuclear testing stopped in the '60s, the US and Russia haven't conducted any nuclear tests since the '80s. Doctors don' make commercials for cigarettes anymore, construction workers don't use carcinogenic materials anymore. Everybody has changed their ways, but in 70 years people will be appaled about what we do today disregarding things like global warming, eating too much refined sugar, still using combustion engines etc.
The arrogance and complete disregard for other life on Earth of those involved in the development of nuclear weapons,and their continued testing of said weapons is beyond measurable scales.
yes and no. It was a failure in that it didn't reach the expected yield but instead reached a yield way beyond what had been expected. It was a success in that a lot of information was gained, leading to a massive increase of the understanding of nuclear science and engineering. And that was in the end what these early tests were all about, learning things and expanding the knowledge so that smaller, more efficient, more reliable, nuclear weapons could be designed and produced (and the knowledge gained also made its way into civilian applications eventually).
@@psycotria yeah. Or rather one of the main isotopes which was assumed mostly inert turned out to be highly capable of fusion, increasing the fusion yield to about 10 times the expected. Made building lithium based fusion weapons a lot cheaper.
