Well i agree it causes radioactive pollution but someone needs to test the stuff cuz if someday (i hope not) we have to use it we dont want it to blow up off target or not blow up at all. This is off point but why dont we switch all our energy to solar/wind? i mean with nuclear with have to deal with all that radioactive wast, and i dont care how safe everyone says they are accidents happen...look at Chernobyl.
@ladyiinsane they need to test them to know if they work, even if they cause fallout, if you built something would you not test it before you tried it out in real life.
This is the crater from the test codenamed "Sedan", not the place named "Sudan", alright? It was a 104 Kiloton device buried about 1100 feet down in alluvial soil. This was part of the "Plowshare" series of tests to find out if we could use nukes to move earth efficiently -- for example, "Instant Panama Canal #2". The USSR did the same thing, there is a 3-nuke test elsewhere on Youtube. The answer turns out not to be very non-obvious.
go on google earth and punch in 37.177 -116.0462 and turn on the terrain option, tilt the view down, you'll see the deep ass crater this thing made. Look south of here and for several miles you'll see hundreds of other blast zones. (this crater being by far the largest of them all). Tick the box "google earth community" in the layers pane, you'll get the names/dates/yields for all of these nuke blasts.
shit yeh thats huge, i was just looking at this spot on google earth called Bikini Atoll. theres a vid of it on here and its where a huge fleet of US battle ships were nuked. the crater is alot bigger
Where is the "mushroom"?

@donpetrocar The bomb was detonated underground. So no mushroom.

You just came across as someone who knows his geography and Nuke sites quite well. I wanted to see what kind of job is associated with that talent.
NikoBoulikas 5 years ago
no job or talent is a part of it. But thank you, I feel smarter now :)
