These
two photos show that the explosions of Yucca Flat
were very visible and that the soldiers who
attended the spectacle distrusted hardly these
effects, thinking that the bomb made its crater
and its damages on the scene even of the
explosion, destroying everything on its base,
without knowing that the radiant wave propagated
everything all around on a very long
circumference helped also by the projections of
sand notably. According
to certain testimonies, Snow Canyon's site, where
were shooted a majority of the picture's
scenes " The Conqueror " ,
grew red at night of part its content in
radioactivity … When the scientists noticed
in the long run these mortal effects, it was too
late. The cast of the film suffers from these
radiations, but it stayed on the spot only three
months. It is easy to imagine that the local
population has suffer of consequences a long time
as well as the soldiers and the public of these
photos …
Studies
noticed an increase of 40 % of case of leukaemia

From 1951
till 1992, about 900 atomic explosions were
tested on the ground of the Nevada the American
government of which 99 in surface in the first
years, then, realizing damages caused in the
human body, practised these nuclear tests in a
subterranean way (that is 800 about). The project
on the American nuclear tests in the Nevada was
ratified by the President Harry Truman on January
11, 1951. The first nuclear test took place on
January 27, 1951, called " Operation
