@productetc You should read the caption instead maybe? It states that the first nuclear bomb made by the UK was detonated in 1952, nowhere i state it was a H-Bomb in 1952.
@CRTukker Perhaps editing the caption to fit the title and video content would eliminate confusion. The video and title isn't about their first atomic device, but their first hydrogen bomb. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the video upload though. Cheers
In one way it would be cool to be a part of that and experience, as long as you're a safe distance away, but at the same time it would also be scarry as fuck.
@TheMETALHEAD249 Sound only travels with +/- 333 m/s. You will first see the explosion and then the bang, the further you are away from the explosion, the longer it will take to hear the explosion.
"H-bomb" was coined as a result of the poor public understanding of the mechanism at the time.
D-T fusion is mostly a way to produce fast neutrons; fission is still the largest fraction of the explosive yield. The fast neutrons have a reasonable fission cross section for U-238, which will not sustain a chain reaction on it's own, hence you use this material as a casing or pusher/tamper.
Very interesting video. I would not have wanted to been one of those soliders. That would have been scarry, even though they survived. It's a wonder they weren't exposed to radation. I could just imagione feeling the heat from that and being able to see your bones through your hands. Then the boom and shockwave.
The halving distance for gamma rays in the atmosphere is less than 200 meters(depends on energy). If you're 15 miles away the air between you and the bomb reduces exposure by a factor of more than 10^-36 to essentially nil.
Concentrated so called "early fall-out" is from bigger grains of sand and junk that got sucked up in the mushroom cloud. Detonate it high enough altitude and you get no junk sucked up in the blast and no early fall out.
@6:18 the prime minister sent a letter of congratulation? for the weapon of mas destruction?
and they want to deny others from their rights, even for the peaceful use of n-power e.g Iran
What a hypocrites!!!

I bet you can defuse a british bomb by pouring tea on it

@sbsmash1 Yeah, the same way you can diffuse an American bomb by feeding it a cheese burger

The scary part is 1.8 MT isn't even that powerful when it comes to H-bombs. The US exploded one that was 15 MT, the Russians did one at 57 MT.

The British didn't detonate a hydrogen bomb until 1957-1958. Please edit the caption.

One thing i don't understand is why would the bang sound later on? Can someone explain to me

@CRTukker Correct. Light is much faster than sound.

Thats just insane. Could you imagine being a part of an experiment like that? In one way it'd be kind of cool, but also scarry at the same time.

No, it's not surprising at all.
