The threat of destruction

has affected our lifestyle

in every town and every village

from coast to coast.

These are the signs

of our time.

This is just a sham,

a test, a training exercise.

But tomorrow, the siren could

mean something real.

And if you hear it, when

you drive your car,

while sitting at your desk,

or when working in your agency,

wherever you are,

what will you do?

What will happen to you?

Let hat on the back,

so that we can well see,

I ask for

a very personal matter.

How old are you?

I'm 65 on my next

anniversary. It's sad to say.

This makes you the oldest,

but also the youngest,

observers of our trench

Here at "Ground Zero".

There is a lovely lady

who stands behind you.

I wonder if I can

talk to her?

I would also have

a female response.

This is Helen Leininger

of the City of New York.

Helen, how long

did you wait?

Oh, about eight days.

- Eight... Nine days!

- Nine days!

if we calculate correctly.

Okay, I think it's best

back to Hill Media

and see what happens,

if we are close to the time H.

Leroy the big story that we

see here in the hill Media

This is the story of Civil Defense,

tanks and personnel transport.

Leroy, I want to be on the air

for all to see

using not only the cameras

who are here at Hill Media

but also those

with you in the trenches.

Come in split screen.

In few seconds you me

will take this position...

Look down

in this position.

I will protect my eyes

against flying debris.

I put the helmet on his head,

to protect myself against

falling rocks.

All right. Good luck, Roy. Let me

Nearly nine years had passed

since the cancellation

of underwater tests

Operation Crossroads.

This test was finally realized,

Operating under the name "Wigwam."

At 800 km off the coast

San Diego, California

a 30 kiloton nuclear device

was suspended from a cable

to 600 meters deep

as a manned barge.

A towing cable

10 km long

extends from the barge.

Suspended from the cable,

there were three submarines

Unmanned called "squaws."

Apparatus and instruments

were placed in each submarine

to record the effects

of the nuclear explosion.

The aim of the operation

was to determine the kill zone

for an enemy submarine

in front of a nuclear

firing in depth.

OPERATION REDWING

17 nuclear tests.

Operation Redwing was conducted

Primarily for testing weapons

Seven months before Redwing,

the Soviet Union has demonstrated

the ability to drop

thermonuclear weapons

from strategic bombers,

tipping the balance of power

in their favor.

The event will be the first Cherokee

launch by a U.S. plane

of a thermonuclear bomb.

This weapon will explode with

a power of 3.5 megatons.

Nearly 200 times the power

THE EFFECTS OF RADIATION

A special phase of the study,

is the amount of radiation

This requires tools

Gamma rays can cause

damage in two different ways,

or both.

First, they can

directly destroy tissue,

over time and eventually

cause the development of cancer.

They can not cause damage,

This brings us to most discussed

strontium-90 following calcium

After reaching the body,

strontium-90, such as calcium,

tends to concentrate in the bones,

especially those of children

who develop new bone.

The removal of strontium-90 has a

very limited scope in the body,

it is not a threat to

But it is a threat to

or bone cancer.

If this happens, it would be a tragedy for those

Each citizen must be
