What are nuclear test points?
Nuclear test points are places where governments have tested nuclear weapons. Governments that tested nuclear weapons include the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, South Africa and probably Israel. The first nuclear test points were places in the deserts of New Mexico and Nevada in the United States. The first nuclear weapon, Trinity was detonated on July 16, 1945 in Alamogord near Socorro, New Mexico, about what is now the White Sands range.
After the Allies won World War II, the United States continued nuclear testing during the intersection operation, in which two nuclear weapons were detonated at sea in the Pacific. It was the fourth and fifth nuclear explosion on the planet, the third and fourth was the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The explosions were used to test the effects of nuclear explosions on ships and accompanying dummies.
Energy generated by explosions was so intense that the seabed was reducedna písek tak jemné, že kraby nemohly stoupat podél, aniž by sklouzly na dno ponorkové kráteru. 167 The natives of the atoll bikini were moved 128 miles east to the uninhabited atoll Rongerik, where they remain today and received little support from the US government in their desire to return to their ancestors' home.
In 1951, the US added to the list of nuclear test points, now known as a test point Nevada, now known as a test point Nevada, location of about 65 km (105 km) outside Las Vegas in Nevada. V letech 1951 až 1992 bylo v testovacím místě v Nevadě 928 známých jaderných testů, přičemž 828 z nich bylo pod zemí. Většina ikonických obrázků jaderných explozí pochází z těchto četných testů.
Between 1946 and 1961, various places on the Marshall Islands, I was the first and most famous, used as nuclear test points, collectively known as the Pacific proving Grounds. ItThe place was the most popular of the atmospheric nuclear test points - more than 105 bombs were built high in the atmosphere in the area - including bombs with the highest yield, which must be detonated at high altitudes to minimize fallout. In this area, the strongest nuclear test of the United States, Bravo Castle, was carried out with a yield of 15 megatons.
