  • It's not atomic explosion!

  • and the 4 people later died from radiation...

  • @Psychedelia1969 haha i didnt see them either

  • i didnt even notice the people at the bottom of the screen

  • @edunuke I worked on underground nuke weapons testing at the NTS in the modern era. That being post 70's

    The idea that a 10% leak of radiation was acceptable is interesting. It also would have shut down testing long before it was. To shield out all the gamma and X radiation from a Nuclear explosion one would have to spherically surround the device with more lead than we have the ability to move. The purpose for the testing, aside from stockpile verification, was research. A whole other subject

  • @jerdeb4evr

    I appologize I meant near 90% particle radiation. Gamma rays do escape with higher probability than particle radiation but still they used an iron ore backfill to attenuate most of them.

  • Im using this video for my project lolz

  • The power and the glory!!

  • where the shockwave?
