U.S. Nuclear Detonations from Japan to South Atlantic and everywhere in between

The U.S. is one of the last nuclear powers that hasn't closed its nuclear test site - called the 'NNSS' - and intends to use it one day to blow up nukes if it needs to. In the meantime the U.S. conducts *sub-critical* nuclear (dynamic plutonium) experiments under its nuclear test site that are very controversial because, from exterior appearances, they are very similar to underground nuke tests - they are conducted underground and are unmonitored and because they are widely thought to be unnecessary other nations may easily surmise that a subcritical experiment is in fact being used to advance nuclear weapons work. The U.S. is actually setting a precedent by carrying out these experiments in the way it is doing that would give a 'determined nuclear power' the ability to cheat test ban treaties. Thus, the U.S. is virtually fanning the embers of the last Cold War and threatening to flare up a new one.

- the latest subcritical tests were held in December 2010 and February 2011.

Making of Video -

This video was produced using Windows Movie Maker, Audacity and Microsoft Excel.

Latitude and longitude coordinates and 'interpretations' of the yields were gleaned from the Oklahoma Geological Survey Observatory Catalog of Nuclear Explosions.

The data was sorted by descending yield-size and plotted on a 'Bubble' chart in Excel using a standard world map generated from FlexProjector (Cylindrical Equal-Area) as a 'chart area' 'fill effect.' Each point (bubble) was given a distinct color or color-pattern. A video effect chosen in Windows Movie Maker shifts the hue of each bubble through the color spectrum.

Each bubble indicates the location and relative yield of a U.S. nuclear detonation. The largest bubble represents Shot Bravo, which was 1,000 times the yield of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Some facts:

The U.S. conducted more nuclear detonations than all the other countries in the world combined and is the only country to have used nuclear weapons on other nations (Japan).

The atmospheric nuclear years of U.S. testing included 1 megaton from Nevada, 109 MT from Marshall Islands (Enewetak & Bikini Atolls), 23 MT from Christmas Island, 21 MT from Johnston Atoll and 0.1 MT from other sites in North America, and Pacific and the South Atlantic Oceans; for total of 154 MT

U.S. contributed 25% of total global atmospheric fission yields and thus 25% of fission products, including Sr90. The continental United States received a huge burden of the fallout relative to proportion of world's land-mass because of its latitude. Also, parts of American West (central NV, UT, WY and Dakotas) received additional 15% higher (about 50 or 60 extra millicuries/mile2) deposits of Sr90 than global 'background levels' due to NTS atmospheric testing of 1.1 MT, which released 110,000 Curies of Sr90. Extremely overlooked is the fact that NTS fallout of Sr90 comprised just 1.5% of total Sr90 fallout by all U.S. open-air testing.

That's insane if you think about WW2 and say the damage to Germany and Japan and say the economy and how America, tried to get reparations from them and in retrospect based on say ecology and natural resources and say literacy rates and mental and physical health of generalized populations and populations of active 33rds...

what 1200-1500 Nuclear detonations above,below and on American soil as well as a couple of hundred badly designed nuclear power plants...

Say victory...
