There are those who cry out loud

that there is absolutely no

real threat to the free world

and certainly nothing that can justify

nuclear tests or nuclear weapons.

Those who think otherwise say

development of the nuclear force

protection is

absolutely necessary

against the hostility of communism

and the nuclear threat.

In this perspective, victims

nuclear fallout, if any,

would be considered

of the Unknowns

the service of humanity.

Anonymous soldiers in a war

that would never have begun,

and that our nuclear power can

mean it will never happen.

the fall of 1957, with a moratorium

on tests looming on the horizon,

24 nuclear tests were

conducted in the Nevada desert

Operating under the name "Plumbbob".

During Plumbob, the event "Hood"

became the most powerful test

ever made in the atmosphere

of the continental United States .

Hood, a 74 kiloton device,

was suspended at 500 m above

the desert floor in a ball.

As new models of weapons

continued to be tested,

the Ministry of Defence

tests used

to accelerate the military training

in the nuclear battlefield,

while pursuing the study of

effects of nuclear explosions.

The 21st test conducted during the operation

Plumbbob the event was "Rainier."

It was the first explosion completely

led underground by United States.

The device exploded three kilotons

240m to under Mount Rainier,

spraying of the powder of rock

within 30 meters.

This technology will be of great importance

after the Treaty of restriction tests

banning all nuclear tests,

except underground

and to hide future experiments

from prying eyes.

During Operation Hardtack, the United States

detonated 35 nuclear devices,

as well as in all previous tests

the Pacific.

So far, nuclear testing

were seen largely

practice as intimidation,

increasing international tensions

that could lead

a nuclear war.

Against the increasing pressure,

the U.S. Government believed

although the weapons are essential,

and they are the only counterweight to

increasing the number of Soviet soldiers.

The Russians, having developed and finalized

a series of atmospheric tests,

pretended to surrender

tests, knowing full well

the United States had undertaken

a major operation.

Operations were conducted

Bikini and Enewetak in as before.

And a new site was created

Hardtrack for the operation,

Johnston Island.

During testing, one of the events

significant event was the Cactus.

It was a small device

18 kilotonnes of which produced

a crater about 42m wide

and 11m deep.

Many years later, in 1980,

all debris from the fission

and radioactive materials that

were in the Enewetak Atoll

were collected and disposed

in the crater of the bomb Cactus.

Then we placed a concrete dome

on the crater

to maintain and stabilize

radioactive materials.

A year before Hardtack,

the Soviets launched a small

satellite named "Sputnik-1."

Concerned about the superiority

Soviet missiles,

the United States have made

their first two shots

missiles at high altitudes,

known under the names "Teac" and "Orange".

Nuclear weapons from Teac and Orange

were carried into space

by a Redstone rocket,

developed by Wernher Von Braun.

Von Braun and his team

have developed

the V2 rocket for Germany

during World War II.

The Redstone was considered

an extension of the technology

the Second World War,

and was limited in scope.

Using liquid oxygen

as fuel,

Redstone propelled its nuclear charge

in the upper atmosphere of Earth,

and released for firing.

Teac, with a power

of 3.8 megatonnes

exploded about 80 km

of the surface of the Earth.

The explosion created a violent disturbance

magnetic in the atmosphere

called EMP or electromagnetic pulse.

This silenced the

radios to nearly 8 hours,

And damaged electrical circuits

from Hawaii to New Zealand.

Immediately after the events

Teac Orange and the Pacific

the United States led

"Operation Argus".

Three tests of missiles with warheads

from 1 kiloton in the South Atlantic.

The experiment sought Argus

to create and explore the use

of "traps" in radiation

the Van Allen belt of the Earth.

Firing at 480 km above the Earth,

experiment sought to create

a shield radioactive

to prevent the execution of a

Soviet missile attack.

IVAN (The Monstrous Bomb)

57 Megatons

For two years, a moratorium

difficult on nuclear testing

remains between the United States

and the Soviet Union.

In secret, the Soviets

began to design

new weapons of mass destruction.

Including a hydrogen bomb

of 57 megatons,

the largest nuclear weapon ever created.

This monstrous bomb

was a smaller version

a model of 100 megatons,

and could be transported

and launched from an aircraft.

cynically ignoring the Organization

By this act, the Soviet Union

added insult to injury

they broke the moratorium

on nuclear weapons testing

they raised the air pollution

to new levels,

they started a new race,

for more deadly weapons.

They ignored calls

and all peace-loving peoples.

They have presented no

justification

They remained insensitive

The Delegation of the United States

deeply regrets

contempt of this

world opinion.

And we think that following these

discouraging events,

other delegations should

express their views

on these new

Because today, Mr. President,

the world has taken a big step backwards,

into anarchy and disaster.

The Russians had broken

a voluntary moratorium.

the United States responded quickly

by a wide range of weapons testing

in retaliation for a large scale.

The tension rises when near

100 nuclear tests were conducted

between the test area in Nevada

and the Pacific Ocean,

under the code names Nougat,

Storax and Dominic.
