"Dive into the intense historical moment of the 1958 underwater atomic blast! On May 16, test conditions aligned, paving the way for a nuclear device detonation. Witness the mesmerizing dynamics – from the creation of an 840-foot spray dome to the intriguing shape resembling a cone. Plumes break through after six seconds in every direction, with a breathtaking 3,800-foot diameter at the 20-second mark. The base surge, reaching an 8,000-foot radius, moves gracefully with a 15-knot wind.

The aftermath reveals a foam patch spreading over 6,000 feet from the blast site. Calculated at 9 kilotons of TNT, the fallout stayed within the predicted area, maxing out at 0.030 R/hr. Experience the shockwave's impact on a target ship and the Moran merchant marine ship. An hour later, a water sample reveals 5 R/hr, while the retrieval team faces a 3.8 R/hr field after an hour and thirty-five minutes.

This nuclear narrative unfolds with rare footage, capturing the sheer power and scientific intricacies of this 1958 detonation. Join us for a deep dive into history, science, and the complexities of nuclear testing.
