Nuclear testing in the US
Writes mikle1:
Recently often I notice that people idealize America.
Take for example the issue of nuclear testing. Say we Zhukov banished people after the explosion, piles of dead, but in America, it was all done in the mind, there is this simply could not be otherwise, for a democratic country.
In fact, America was pohlesche. Everything was there: and the dead, and the run of the soldiers, and even the tourists ...
However, to find at least some some true information is extremely difficult.
For example, the most famous American nuclear testing took place in Nevada.
However, Wikipedia is not always on our side.
Reading all that relates to nuclear explosions, we encounter the countless references about the Russian scum who did nothing that destroyed his people, through the nuclear tests.
About America word.
What happened in Nevada?
The first test at the Nevada Test Site was held 27 January 1951 (Able explosion in Operation Ranger). The power of the explosion was only 1 kiloton (20 times smaller than Hiroshima).
Further explosions rattled like hail on a tin roof - a total of 928 were held (it only declared, but there were many unannounced).
During the nuclear tests in 1951 were carried out military exercises Desert Rock in which not only the command of the troops stationed only a few miles from the epicenter, but infantry and drove directly under the fungus (!). And it - three years before Totsky exercises. And no reason, no name-calling American generals - the organizers of the exercise bad words.

As Americans announces the test in advance, in the 1950s there was a "nuclear tourism".
By the target date in Las Vegas attracts people and on the 95th road heading closer to the landfill in order to watch the grand spectacle. Some stayed in Las Vegas - the mushrooms were perfectly visible from the windows of hotels and casinos.
After the signing of a treaty banning nuclear explosions "on the ground, in the sky and the sea," there was nothing to watch the tourists. The explosions began to be under. ground. A total of 828 underground explosions.
As a result of the impact of work plateau Yucca (Yukka flat area, the eastern part of the landfill) is almost completely covered with craters. The largest of them - the Sedan crater (July 6th, 1962, the explosion of Sedan, Operation Storax) has a depth of 100 m and a diameter of about 400 meters.

Explosion Baker, Operation Crossroads, June 30, 1946, 23 kilotonnes, underwater, Bikini. As you can see in the photograph beside the ships.
