Made in 1957, "Mission Fallout" shows the activities of volunteers who monitored the radiation released by the nuclear bomb tests in Nevada, and a group of specialists working for the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization who demonstrate radiological detection equipment, including an in-depth look at plans for aerial monitoring of nuclear fallout.
Operation Plumbbob was a series of nuclear tests conducted between May 28 and October 7, 1957, at the Nevada Test Site, following Project 57, and preceding Project 58/58A. It was the biggest, longest, and most controversial test series in the continental United States.
The operation consisted of 29 explosions, of which only two did not produce any nuclear yield. Twenty-one laboratories and government agencies were involved. While most Operation Plumbbob tests contributed to the development of warheads for intercontinental and intermediate range missiles, they also tested air defense and anti-submarine warheads with smaller yields. They included forty-three military effects tests on civil and military structures, radiation and bio-medical studies, and aircraft structural tests. Operation Plumbbob had the tallest tower tests to date in the U.S. nuclear testing program as well as high-altitude balloon tests. One nuclear test involved the largest troop maneuver ever associated with U.S. nuclear testing.
Approximately 18,000 members of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines participated in exercises Desert Rock VII and VIII during Operation Plumbbob. The military was interested in knowing how the average foot-soldier would stand up, physically and psychologically, to the rigors of the tactical nuclear battlefield.
Almost 1,200 pigs were subjected to bio-medical experiments and blast-effects studies during Operation Plumbbob. On shot Priscilla (37 kt), 719 pigs were used in various experiments on Frenchman Flat. Some pigs were placed in elevated cages and provided with suits made of different materials, to test which materials provided best protection from the thermal radiation. As shown and reported in the PBS documentary Dark Circle, the pigs survived, but with third-degree burns to 80% of their bodies. Other pigs were placed in pens behind large sheets of glass at measured distances from the hypocenter to test the effects of flying debris on living targets. Studies were conducted of radioactive contamination and fallout from a simulated accidental detonation of a weapon; and projects concerning earth motion, blast loading and neutron output were carried out.
Nuclear weapons safety experiments were conducted to study the possibility of a nuclear weapon detonation during an accident. On July 26, 1957, a safety experiment, Pascal-A, was detonated in an unstemmed hole at NTS, becoming the first underground shaft nuclear test. The knowledge gained here would provide data to prevent nuclear yields in case of accidental detonations-for example, in a plane crash.
The John shot on July 19, 1957 was the only test of the Air Force's AIR-2 Genie missile with a nuclear warhead. It was fired from an F-89 Scorpion fighter over Yucca Flats at the NNSS. On the ground, the Air Force carried out a public relations event by having five Air Force officers and a photographer stand under ground zero of the blast, which took place at between 18,500 and 20,000 feet altitude, with the idea of demonstrating the possibility of the use of the weapon over civilian populations without ill effects.
The Rainier shot, conducted September 19, 1957, was the first fully contained underground nuclear test, meaning that no fission products were vented into the atmosphere. This test of 1.7 kt could be detected around the world by seismologists using ordinary seismic instruments. The Rainier test became the prototype for larger and more powerful underground tests.

My father worked in Civil Defence and he had a government Geiger counter. If he did anything like they did in this film, it probably explains the leukemia he developed in 1967. The way they calibrate the counters while they are in the field is insane. Driving over fresh fallout is insane. Flying over fallout is insane. Using a helicopter with a big downdraft over fallout is insanely insane. At least by today’s standards. And I am a Radiololgic Technologist.
Richard Rhodes, prominent historian of the atomic bomb (" The Making of the Atomic Bomb.") says the tragic irony of the testing is that it killed more Americans than any Russian did. Around 30,000 Americans died from nuclear contamination.
I have a good friend, who gave ultrasounds for a living. She's a walking dead now..Her body has MANY cancers, three different kinds. Her internal organs are disintegrating. It is so sad. She is 36 years old.
@@dennissvitak148 Was she in a "down winder" area ?
@North95 it is a sad history of how we learned the terrible effects of radiation. My father died in 64 from asbestosis, the miracle fiber. He was 44 and left a wife and 3 kids. The poor guy spent 18 years in the Navy where asbestosis was used liberally and then an oil refinery where it was also used in great quantities.
@@richmcintyre1178 Like my friend who died from years of blowing out asbestos brake linings on Southern Pacific trucks.
My grandfather was a Bombardier/Navigator that served in China in a B25 Mitchell (after two years as an instructor stateside). After WW2 he came home and couldn't find a decent job to support his young family during the post-war recession so he spent 4yrs trying to get back into the AF. By 1950 he was finally accepted to return with a triple rating (Bombardier, navigator, radarman) and served in the 4925th Test Group Atomic out of Kirtland AFB . The 4925th only accepted the most talented and capable, it was considered an elite outfit. The 4925th was tasked with 'marrying' aircraft to atomic weapons best suited to that particular aircraft. They were also tasked with air sampling by flying through the radioactive cloud after a 'shot'. 70% of the men in the 4925th died of various cancers. (The book 'Megaton Blasters' is about the 4925th.) My grandfather, Capt. J.E. Rohl died of a brain tumor in 1957, 6mos before his 39th birthday. Most of the men in this propaganda film were no-doubt WW2 veterans that had already served their country and were just glad to have a job. What a sad, sad shame.
Wow
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conqueror_(1956_film) This movie was filmed in 1956, partly in St. George, Utah, directly downwind from the above ground nuclear tests. If you want to get angry, google "the day we bombed utah" ... it's worth it. There are a large number of people called Downwinders...although most of them are dead of cancer now.
My grandfather died from Cancer presumably caused by this in 1964, a few days before my fathers first birthday..
The happy music makes all that Fallout seem OK. I'm glad now.
After the Fukushima accident a nuclear advisor to the government stated that happy people do not suffer from the latent effects of radiation exposure. So smiling after a nuclear war is very, very important for your health.
I never heard of such city as Mercury, NV until I watched this film. It's a very educational film on nuclear radiation. Mercury Nevada is a closed city in Nye County, Nevada United States, 5 miles (8.0 km) north of U.S. Route 95 at a point 65 miles (105 km) northwest of Las Vegas. It is situated within the Nevada Test Site and was constructed by the Atomic Energy Commission to house and service the staff of the test site. Elevation: 3,789 ft (1,155 m) ZIP codes: 89023 Thanks for video.
I’ve done training there. It’s an interesting place.
Weather observations are taken every hour, at every airport in the world. Up until the early '70's, RADAT was part of that. This was radiation data. So MANY bombs were burst - above ground - that this materially affected the levels of radiation in the air, and on the ground, world wide. This scared the shit out of scientists everywhere, and the American people were never told how many additional cancers our nuclear testing caused. This is one of the nastiest secrets our government has ever kept from the public.
qz.com/1163140/us-nuclear-tests-killed-american-civilians-on-a-scale-comparable-to-hiroshima-and-nagasaki/ Up to 690,000 dead, JUST in the United States.
Nastiest secret? I doubt that, With Prescott Busch alone, America has a half a dozen cemeteries stuffed in one proverbial closet and thats not even the tip of the iceberg. Our country, like any other, has many, many shocking and ugly truths.
my closefriends grandfather "George Yoshitake" was the cinematographer for the atomic test called Operation Plumbbob. Plus many more test.The film of the 5 men at ground zero testing was filmed by him,making the true population at ground zero 6 ( SIX ) souls!
Did He Die From Cancer ?
Hi, sallie hamel, I see your post is 3 years old, but since your friends' granddad was a cinematographer for some of these tests, did he ever explain what those columns, or "strings" as I call them, of smoke or vapor or whatever they are, are? They always accompany a nuclear explosion and are seen on either side of the mushroom cloud. They look like vertical vapor trails but I've always wondered what causes them. I've asked this question on many of these video's but I haven't received an answer yet. It's a mystery! lol Thank you sallie.
@James Sloan Thank you, James Sloan! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I didn't understand everything that you said but now I have a place to start so that I can understand it more. Thanks again!
Tony F. The vertical rows of smoke columns were created by rockets at or just before detonation to allow them to visibly study shock waves, etc.
@Scumfuck McDoucheface Thank you so very much! For so many years I wondered about those "streamers" of smoke/vapor. Everyone I asked about them never seemed to notice as they were busy watching the "main event". Thanks again.
One of the reasons that nuclear weapons are talked about casually is that few people have seen a nuclear explosion in person. I have. In the 1950's I would go out to the Nevada Test Site with my father to see atomic tests from 30 miles away. Even as a ten year old it was unforgettable to be in the pre-dawn blackness and see the sky light up like noon. Recently people have told me that they could see the horizon light up from Reno, a straight distance of 340 miles from Las Vegas. These Hiroshima-sized bombs were relatively small, being the "primers" for the H-bombs being tested in the Pacific.
Wow
This makes it look as if it was some harmless science experiment of a local university.
Well, better to know what you're up against rather than wait til the Russians bombed your town to figure it out. At least that was the mindset then. OL J R :)
It was! 😂 Totally safe👍
I love you, Periscope Film !

Some of the vets from this operation have been interviewed recently and the footage is absolutely heartbreaking. But nobody cares, nobody sings songs for them,Twitter is entirely silent for these guys. Real, ACTUAL victims of unimaginable, cold-blooded government apathy...and *nobody* cares....
I so true it's so sad! I was born in 1960 I keep telling my woman that I went through a portal and ended up in a bad Earth!
Good thing they had coveralls on.
"Participants are encouraged to breath deeply".
A pretty common misconception is that there existed some suit capable of stopping gamma or x-rays. You've had a dental x-ray, right? Imagine wearing an entire suit made of the same stuff the blanket they make you wear. Alpha and beta particles can be stopped by cloth though. It's when you inhale the dust particles that you're screwed. The dust emitting alpha or beta particles on your skin is relatively harmless but getting it inside your lungs almost guarantees lung cancer. A dust mask would have been better protection than the coveralls.
19:37 Dude w/ glasses is enjoying the HELL out of the 710 demonstration.
@Big AL Not much understanding about irreverent sarcasm, huh? That comment was born out of my sense of humor. Lighten up, snowflake.
I have this film on a big 16mm reel. The film just seems wrong without the projector noise and smell of the film and the projector lamp getting hot.

I dont think it'll be the cigarettes that kill these guys.
When I was a kid back in 1950s central Nevada, we always got a chuckle out of the phrase ‘no off site radiation detected’. No one ever saw anyone off site detecting.
True we had that in other areas..."All off-site fall out data disposed of after 7 years". All on site still exists..
Hmmmm
2020 "no new cases of covid reported"... No further testing being done...
@@leechowning2712 no look no tell
@@leechowning2712 Just hospitals overcrowded with respiratory cases and deaths
We knew there were "downwinder" casualties in Utah. Like John Wayne and a whole group of movie people. But I was surprised to hear relatives in Ely, Nevada speak of radiation deaths there. One used to drive a semi-truck from Ely to Las Vegas. He said it was standard procedure to hose off the whole tractor and trailer of the white radioactive dust accumulation at the Ringsby terminal in Vegas.
Is no-one going to talk about the manhole being the fastest object in air
Thanks, Jeff. Yeah, once I did see those columns just BEFORE detonation. Thanks again.

Such a happy opening. 😬
My Uncle installed the Air Conditioners on the underground Neuclear Bombs to keep them cool until detonation. He lived to be over Ninety! I asked him when so many others that were on the Test Site died so young and he lived. He followed the Rules, he wasn’t peaking to see, etc.
He also wasn't walking the surface areas where a nuke has just dumped radioactive fallout as these men were exposed to ! They carried the instruments, recording the high, medium and low levels as per the charts were graphed ! They were exposed, your uncle was usually in a freshly made tunnel or bore hole shaft where there was no or little radiation to contaminate ! That's a world of difference !
6:00 That instructor as he lit up that cig forgot he was getting a nice dose of particulate radiation in the form of Polonium 210 ,,nice
@Fred C. Scroll Enhances the flavour profile.
Both of my Grandparents worked at the Nevada Test Site for several decades- specifically Mercury.
During long holiday weekends my parents would take me and siblings to visit them. They lived in a trailer park not far away in a small community just off Indian Springs AFB (I think it’s called something else now) and I always looked forward to visiting.
The Thunderbirds team was constantly practicing flying techniques right over the area and as a small child it was a blast! Considering how much additional radiation they likely absorbed, it was surprising both of them lived well over 80.
My grandmother passed at 98 in 2017- that’s a long life. So you never know 🤷♂️
They never tested when the wind was blowing towards their own homes and barracks.
Bob gets a plum assignment.
I love the Friday Casual clothes they are wearing.
Nuclear monopoly sounds like a _fun_ board game.
The properties are Bikini, Nevada, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and The entire country Russia.
We're watching a film within a film! Cool stuff.
i watched this carefully, and even attempted to put myself in the mindset of a cold war era guy. the lighting up a cigarette or two didn't bother me. was it like an industry thimg? YOU TOO can take radiation measurements after these very important tests. or a kind of: we're not just blowin' these things UP, folks- this is SCIENCE
Interesting!
Crude in comparison to now but impressive for 1957 and in the understanding of what radioactivity was
The Victoreen Company in Cleveland, Ohio. Excellent instruments.
6:10 as he savours the _Bitter-Sweet_ aftertaste of Polonium-210 (from fertilizers used to this day)
Exactly - blast, heat, radiation. Except from forgetting total devastation, how complicated can it be?
My grandpa was here
On a sad note . If there is life out there , most likely they are as stupid as we are .
The dramatic music the end! Isointensity music!
The 710 looks like the device the ghosts busters used to put the ghost in the holding chamber
Its strange, the video talks about the importance of monitoring radiation levels around you....but says nothing about why... what radiation can do to you.
Like they didn't know???
They know which is why they harp on monitoring. They only know because they monitored humans they nuked.
Needs a MST3K commentary.
What about the HATS on all those field guys
I remember the final uk test, we saw the flash 📸
Wouldn't the propellers from the helicopter push the radiation away from the measuring device?
I would like to know how they come up with these dosing perimeters
As far back as Roentgen, scientists experimented on themselves. Tesla burned his hand badly experimenting with X-rays. By 1898 it was generally known that these invisible radiations had the potential to be harmful if the exposure was excessive, they used photographic film to measure exposures... The accepted limits of exposure declined as more cases of radiation illness, burns, cancers, etc. came to be recognized. But they never stopped working on it, and beta and X-rays were used to treat tumors when they discovered they could selectively target cancers.
Young man, if the radiation doesn't kill you, these cigarettes will! 🚬
There were 51 open air shots in the 9 months before I was born
These ignorant government functionaries knew little about what the hell they were playing with, even though they make it seem otherwise in this propaganda film. How many of these people died early of leukemia and other cancers? We really don't know, but it must number in the hundreds... or even thousands. What a disgusting time in our history... Makes these days look harmless in comparison. Even though they are not harmless.
They knew, but it was a job that had to be done... so they did it. Remember most of those guys in the film had gotten a free tour of Germany or the South Pacific courtesy of Uncle Sam 10 years before; and at the time EVERYBODY was pretty well convinced that it wasn't a matter of IF but WHEN the balloon went up and the Soviets were bombing our cities with A-bombs and H-bombs. SO they did what they did and learned to deal with it and do the best they could to help folks survive it. Not like now when everybody's scared to death of dying, taping themselves in their basement afraid of a mutated cold germ... OL J R :)
One of my first memories was learning about the Tsar Bomba test and trying to understand the concept of thermonuclear weapons, then about a year later the Cuban Missile Crisis. When I was in Kindergarten the US SAC had Mk-41 drop bombs in the air flying along the Soviet border 24/7, supported by a fleet of KC-135 tankers. Each bomber with two Mk-41s had a pair of B-52s flying ahead with AGM-28 Hound Dogs with B28 nuclear warheads... On a coded radio command the bombers with the AGM-28's would turn towards the targets for the Mk-41s and blast the Soviet air defenses, clearing a path for the heavy drop bombs. At any given minute there was about 100 mt of pure joy airborne... Those were the days.
This is a treat! You don't often see the other 40 odd educational minutes of these test films, just the pretty mushroom clouds and the pigs catching on fire. The way most videos chop out all the extra stuff it makes the test shots look like they were for entertainment and dick waving.

"Oh, we'll also get some radiation from the cigarettes we're all smoking!"
34:00 Were those goggles really effective at protecting the eyes? Does anyone know if people at the test site suffered with vision problems even after they wore these goggles, of which became permanent?
The goggles only function was to reduce the light level reaching the retina (same as with welding goggles) so as to avoid burning the retina as staring into an atomic blast is comparable to staring into the sun. That’s really a rather simple job to achieve so I would imagine they did that job quite well.
"The goggles! They do nothing!"
Happy Fallout Hunting folks lmfao 🤣
Who were the target audience of these types of videos? were these publicly available?
I think mostly for their documentation to present to government agency's and training military personnel.

This Nevada desert is probably a part of "Area 51", a highly classified military research facility.
True...In Soviet Union they lit off all their stuff in Katzakastan.
Locals never evacuated.
MA: No. This is not part of Area 51.
It's the other way around. AREA 51is part of the A.E.C.'s Test Site Grid Map starting in the top left corner of the designated site and is numbered from left to right and top to bottom. You can pull up the grid map and see A-51 as it is shown on the map. The Nevada Test Site was founded in late 1950 and first shot done in late Jan. 1951. A-51 was established months before the first test flight of the U-2 spy plane in 1955 .
I think Operation Plumbbob was the high point of nuclear insanity.

Hutments.
Talking about radiation, and people are lighting cigarettes indoors in the conference room.... people were so dumb about health back then.
Not really....cig companies knew in the 1940's they were causing health issues and higher cancer rates than non-smokers. They just hid that info.
Not dumb, there was no knowledge of the cancer connection at the time, when I joined the air force in 69 I was one of a very few people on my section of a couple of hundred who DIDNT smoke, every body did it. Hindsight is 20/20, the same with the radiation training, by the time I was getting trained for radiation/chemical operations we had full coverage suits,(proof against Alpha and Beta particles and various chemical agents for various times) full face masks and boot covers and two layers of gloves, try working on an aircraft in that lot in summer, not nice. the work done by these guys led to the procedures we used which have led to the way things are now. Basically at the time they didnt realise the dangers but thought they did.
Humans are so f in dumb sometimes
Everyone in this film died of cancer.
not strictly all but most, though some of those would have died of cancer anyway.
Smoke em if ya got em because the radiation will get you first. Cool cars though.
Hey Bob, you look really ragged. What were you doing last week?
Oh, just playing with radiation....
Oh. Well good luck...
You don’t see speakers just smoking while talking these days 😆
LOL:) When I was in the police academy in '96, we had a presentation one afternoon by a FEMA guy (successors to Civil Defense) who presented an outline of "the plan" in the event of a national emergency, at least one in period of rising tension when they actually would have time to do something... Basically evacuate the cities take over all the surrounding farmland move the city dwellers out there into big Army tents kinda thing. He was a little wiry, obviously ex-military guy. When we went on break we went outside so most of the guys could smoke, and this little feller was smoking like a chimney... burned like half a pack while we were out there 15 minutes. I took the opportunity to stand upwind and ask him some questions that had occurred to me. First of all, how long will it take to evacuate a city? Closest to us is Houston, and that's about 4 million people in the metropolitan and surrounding suburban areas, which stretch basically over 100 miles wide. SO you order everybody out, take over the local farms (like ours) and put up massive tents to house the city people. Who's going to stay behind in a city that the leadership ordering all this is OBVIOUSLY convinced is going to be nuked off the map at any moment to guard all the stores, banks, and everything else that will be picked over by tens of thousands of looters and criminals that will surely stay behind to take advantage of the opportunity? Don't have to worry about what the bomb does to the city if the looters steal everything they can lay hands on and burn the rest in the evacuation chaos. SO now you have the city folks settled by the millions in Army tents over the surrounding farmland... who's going to keep order? Within hours they'll start trying to push their way into the local's farmhouses, steal them blind, kill them, whatever, and farm folks have guns and KNOW HOW TO USE THEM, because police protection in rural areas is virtually nonexistent. SO you'll have a minor war erupting between the displaced evacuees and the locals in short order. Who's going to provide them with food and water by the trainload so they have basic meals and drinking water, to say NOTHING of basic sanitation... within a day or two these "evacuation camps" would be fetid cesspools of filth and breeding disease, without ANY bombs falling simply because 4 million people "camping out" make a LOT of sh!t just taking a crap... Who's going to provide the hundreds of thousands of people who are on medication or need medical attention on a frequent basis (from chronic health conditions like needing oxygen, or insulin, or other daily meds) with the medication, care, and medical equipment they need to continue to live or not deteriorate and need hospitalization or outright die? Then to top it all off, the enemy (be it Russia or whomever) aren't blind, they have intelligence satellites and such and will be alerted as soon as these "evacuations" begin, which could potentially be seen as a prelude to a first strike, and even barring that, IF the balloon went up, it doesn't take a huge amount of time to retarget missiles to drop their warheads on the surrounding farmland filled with evacuees in tents, and Army tents aren't exactly good shelter against thermonuclear warheads... so they could kill millions in the countryside while leaving the city that was the target relatively intact! And, at any rate, IF it all came to nothing and the situation abated safely, you'd have one h3ll of a huge mess on your hands-- dead and sick people everywhere from insurrection, disease, insufficient sanitation, poor food/water distribution, and criminal behavior, a looted and partially burned city to go back to, etc.
The guy stood there and looked at me kinda funny, took a big drag on his cigarette, and said, "Yeah... but it sure SOUNDS GOOD, don't it?" So basically everything that FEMA "plans" is just horsesh!t to "sound good" to public planners and keep everybody mollified...
Later! OL J R :)
As insane as it was, they had to learn how to deal with it so hopefully humanity could figure out a way to survive an attack. It was a different world. The ones that understood the risks accepted them because they believed in what they were doing. Others were just ignorant of the risks.

lose the time stamp and i would watch more and sub
Here's the issue: tens of thousands of films like this one were destroyed and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like this on online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
So, in the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous TH-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content. We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to deal with these kind of issues.
I like the time stamp.
PeriscopeFilm I like the time stamp too. Thanks for the work yr doing yr channel's awesome!
In the very early days of youtube I thought it would be a repository for old documentary and raw footage of all sorts. obv that was a foolish expectation, so i love stumbling across channels like this amidst the general youtube detritus
It's just a small timestamp? The knowledge this documentary brings outweighs any "annoyance" the timestamps would bring... not sure how it is that much of a distraction anyway, must be small minded?
