What Happened to the Bodies Just After the Biggest Nuclear Tests in Human History

[@Michael-bc2gb]

My dad goind the navy in 57 and he passed away from 8 brain tumers and and he had them in every organ. He sat on ships away from nuclear blasts for extra money, but I don't think they know how bad the study was going to turn out. He didn't have any symptoms until he was 64 and died 2 months later. He retired from the navy as a master chief and worked for the Department of Defense afterward. My first memories growing up were in Saudi Arabia, we traveled a lot for his work, so I had an amry brat kinda life, but I'm grateful for having a great father.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I want to thank Your Father for his unwavering service to our great nation. It's not right what he was subjected to. I'm sure you're grateful for having had the time with him you did have. I, for one, grew up without a dad, and boy, let me tell you, it does really make a great difference having a father in your life, especially for boys. God bless...

So sorry about your father and all the veterans who sacrificed so much for our liberty only 2b treated like 💩 by certain politicians and often the VA as well.

[@worthingdecorating8506]

The earth is 80% ocean ... these tests were done in the middle of the ocean... pretty much no effect on fishing supplies ... the fish within the area of ground zero ... there instant grilled salmon

[@bsadewitz]

​​​​Water is an excellent blocker of radiation. You can swim in the spent fuel pool of a nuclear reactor and be totally fine (as long as you don't swim down to right where the waste is). The ocean is HUGE, so the fallout was extremely diluted. The fishing industry was not affected AFAIK. Lots of poor creatures died from the blast, but in terms of contamination--not much. Nearly all the fission products decay pretty quickly, too, so there is little residual contamination. And that, as I mentioned, is heavily diluted. The ocean is simply so enormous that our intuition fails us. Note that I am not talking about physical damage to local sea life and the ocean floor etc., nor the testing in the lagoon(s) in the south Pacific. Just talking about deep water.

The soldiers standing under the detonation did not stick around long enough for all the radioactive material to rain back down on them. This is in contrast to the other soldiers that were tested on taking shelter in trenches who received huge doses of radiation. If this was intercepted over a civilian area, they may be fine until it all rains back down on them.

[@williambryant5946]

At exactly 6:21 in the video, if you stop it and look closely at the water column from the detonation, on the right side close to the surface of the water there is a large dark spot on the water column. I think that's a destroyer, which isn't a small ship, sitting vertical on the side of the water column. The explosion was so powerful and caused such a huge water column that it flipped that ship over. It got captured in that video as it was turning over, being vertical for a split second on the side of the column as it expanded, capsizing the ship.

The High Altitude detonation test was highlighted in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea in episode The Sky Is On Fire. Fallout from tests in Nevada drifted to St George Utah. All actors and some of their family members were exposed to high levels of radiation while filming the Conqueror. The first one to get sick and die was the stuntman but others quickly became ill and died. We lost many great actors and actresses like Dick Powell Susan Hayward and eventually John Wayne...... Most all died of lung cancer. Those same tests also drifted Fallout over parts of Northern Arizona. The government had a massive payout. Unfortunately for my aunt she had already succumbed to massive bone cancer before her settlement. Since we had more sense than everyone had a fallout shelter just in case. Today people are cluelessly Bliss. That despite many more larger weapons exist. And no it isn't necessarily an end all. Half-Life happens quickly. Or at least compared to the gift that keeps on giving from nuclear plants. It's Half-Life last tens of thousands of years compared to a few weeks from nuclear weapons. Hope everybody has their iodine tablets and a shelter. Unfortunately there are politicians that feel it better to rule in Hell than to serve in heaven.

It's a miracle our government, along with the military haven't blown a city or two off the US map. These "test" should never have been allowed anywhere near civilization. In fact, it would have been prudent to have never detonated a nuclear device at all. I get that if not for the "bomb" WW2 would have gone on for an undetermined amount of time, costing more loss of human life on both sides of the conflict. It's just terrible all around for all of the world that these kinds of tests and weaponry were detonated under all manner of conditions. Who knows what could have happened. There could have been a cataclysmic disaster from which there was no hope of recovering from. There are too many unknown variables with these armaments. Yet that would be the very excuse the powers that be would use for these tests. They'd say, " we need to know all the possibilities therein.

[@jovetj]

Einstein _et all_ showed us that matter and energy are interchangeable. Matter is simply a more-ordered state of energy. The commonly-discussed equation _E=mc²_ quantifies this relationship very simply. The amount of mass multiplied by the speed of light _squared_ is a very large number. But these explosions are not just one atom. Uncontrolled nuclear reactions like these work by getting one atom to split, releasing energy and spare neutrons. Those spare neutrons are highly energetic and cause the neighbor atom they strike to split. That atom then releases even more neutrons, and very quickly you have an exponential chain reaction.
