"Most of the times " you comment reminds me of "after excessive internal research thr excessive internal research confirmed they do not spy on the American people" @Bonedagi
Fun fact! The US government got those mannequins from department stores such as Sears and Macy's. They would be used for the testing, and the ones that weren't destroyed would be given a fresh coat of paint and returned to the stores. Since they were not told what kind of testing the mannequins had been used for, many such stores simply put them back onto their floors, not knowing they were contaminated and radioactive.
Additionally though, the military and scientists didn't know how radioactive substances worked when it was first studied either. They knew it happened, but they didn't know it poisons people long term. They knew about the radium girls, but that just told them putting radioactive stuff in your mouth is dangerous, that didn't show them most of the dangers of radioactivity.
They were irradiated not radioactive. (Though if they weren't properly cleaned they would be covered in radioactive particles). Still potentially dangerous just not nearly as much.

This is how the cameras didnt get sent flying from the blast. The cameras used in nuclear tests were specially designed and placed to withstand the extreme conditions of the blasts. They were often located miles away from the explosion, using powerful zoom lenses to capture the footage. For shots that were closer to the blast, the cameras were placed inside heavily reinforced bunkers or shielded with protective casings. In some cases, automated cameras were used and left to run while operators evacuated to a safe distance. Additionally, high-speed cameras could record footage in fractions of a second, allowing them to capture the explosion before being destroyed. This combination of distance, protection, and advanced technology allowed the cameras to survive long enough to document the tests. Basically there built like Nokia's.
I was born in Las Vegas in 1949. I remember seeing a mushroom cloud in the 1950's. It was dark out when the bomb went off. It is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Blue, pink, then red & yellow.

Because no nuclear bomb detonates over 117 miles. The tsar bomb, the biggest nuke ever made, only had a 32 mile radiation radius. And the total destruction was only a 22 mile radius
It was stupid and in fact they had no way to contain the radiation. Increased levels of radiations have been measured even in most of the midwest and of course, rates of cancer and other diseases went up. That's just crazy to me. Wiki "Nevada Test Site" -> "Cancer and test site" for source
