"Military Effects Tower". Supposed to be a standard effects test, LASL clandestinely substituted experimental U233/Pu core, thus undershot estimated yield by a third. Desert Rock VI.

It's standard practise to synchronise the sound with the footage as, particularly with high yield explosions viewed from many miles away, you'd have to wait up to 3 or 4 minutes for the sound to arrive.

They can't, not easily, anyway. One reason we are behind in developing the technology.

[@Evan_Bell]

puncheex2 they can and this video is evidence of that. Yes, it's more difficult than Pu239 production, I don't deny that.

[@puncheex2]

OK, then, yes, you can. You just have to use an industrial strength hotbox for everything from basic chemistry through deployment.

[@Evan_Bell]

If you're talking about U233 produced in solid core reactors, then U232 contamination and it's associated decay product gamma emission, then yes, manufacture is more expensive and hazardous. But the advantages of a thorium fuel cycle only emerge in molten salt reactors. Most LTFR designs use a Bismuth redox reaction to seperate the Pa233 from the fuel melt to allow it to decay separately, where it's not exposed to neutron flux to cause n,2n reactions which lead to the production of U232. fissilematerials.org/library/sgs09kang.pdf

IF the military observers were only 6 miles from ground zero, would there not have been gamma ray exposure at such distance? Hmm. Perhaps not.

[@puncheex2]

No. Gamma rays at common nuclear energies get diminished by half every 600 feet (220 meters) through air. That's a factor of 1:256 per mile. At six miles, below background. And that doesn't even invoke the inverse square law.

[@dmitrijkuznetsov8053]

David Muzzatti p/d^2. D (km).

[@Balnazzardi]

Ye gamma rays in nuclear bomb/explosion essentially play no factor whatsoever in terms of health effects....the effects of heat and blastwave would kill you instantly in the distance where gamma rays would also harm you. This is especially so with nuclear weapons that are larger than 50kt. So the initial ionzing radiation isnt really that big of a factor in nuclear explosion unless you would be like in well enough protected shelter close enough to ground zero that you woudnt be killed by heat or blastwave, but would by the gamma rays or neutron radiation. So the real radiation hazard from nukes comes ofc from the nuclear fallout, from all that dust that get sucked up and which becomes radioactive.

[@MegaRiviera]

@@puncheex2 Nuclear weapons are really weak if you can be at only 6 miles far away from ground zero and survive. I guess we are all tricked by movies and games where you see nuclear weapons blasting entire nations away.

[@puncheex2]

@@MegaRiviera Yes, you are right. Many of the early blast tests at the NTS had live VIP audiences to view the tests. These were fission blasts, mind you, all less than a couple of hundred kilotons. The standard viewing distance for civilians was 6 miles (33,000 feet or about 10,000 meters). Military personnel in Desert Rock got up to half that distance, inside of trenches. The prompt gamma and neutrons from the test were well and truly absorbed by that distance, as the half-length in air is about 200 meters. That amounts to attenuation in both by a factor of 32 per kilometer, 256 per mile, 65,000 per two miles and so on. At 6 miles, 280 trillion. At that distance, the shockwave was the most difficult to face, knocking off hats and rifling hair as it did.

[@JosephGBaker]

No, not really. Radiation isn't a contributing factor.

[@skagamnesia1972]

+joseph baker i was thinking more about the heat it gives off

[@JosephGBaker]

+skagamnesia1972 no, heat dissipates incredibly fast especially when air is the only medium. The major lasting effect of a nuclear bomb, whether it's hydrogen or atomic, is the radiation. Bombs don't hardly contribute to anthropogenic global warming if it even is happening at all. The atmosphere is incredibly vast compared to a bomb. The contrary would be true if you were to detonate enough of these. You would get global cooling due to a nuclear winter.

I wonder how many of those spectators developed cancer at some point in there life after this test.

[@Balnazzardi]

Well have you any idea how radiation/fallout works? First of all the initial gamma ray burst that nuclear detonation creates doesnt travel very far, in fact you would have to be very near ground zero for it to have any effect on you and in that case you would be killed by the fireball/blastwave anyway. Except maybe if you were just deep enough underground that blast wouldnt kill you/collapse the bunker you were in but gamma radiation might harm you, but overall its none factor in nuclear explosions. What DOES matter is the fallout that it creates and it can only harm you if you are under that cloud of dust as it falls from the sky on you and if you breath that dust in or get it to your skin.

"All have sinned, and have come short of the glory of God;" Romans chap 3: verse 23 "The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans chap 6: verse 23 "I am the way, the truth and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me." (John 14.6) "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and he was buried, and on the third day he got up again according to the Scriptures" 1 Cor. 15: 3-4 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;" Ephesians. 1: 7 "For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matt.26:28 Romans 10: 9 If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5: 1 Salvation, forgiveness of sins, is available to anyone who will trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Naw. First there is the inverse square law for any point source of radiation. Then there is the shielding effect of air, which halves gamma and neutron radiation for every 600 ft (200 meters) of distance. 1 mile reduces intensity by 256, 6 miles makes it less than the background. Alphas and betas are even worse in that regard. A couple of feet of air cuts them down.
