Operation Plumbbob, conducted between May 28 and October 7, 1957, represented the biggest, longest, and most controversial nuclear test series in the history of the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The operation was the sixth test series and consisted of 29 detonations, of which two did not produce any nuclear yield. 21 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 small yields. They included 43 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. armed forces 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. Studies were conducted of radiation 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 accidential detonations, for example a plane crash. The first detonation contained underground, "Rainier", was conducted on September 19, 1957, containing all radioactive products underground, thus producing no fallout. This test of 1.7 kilotons 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. The test also subjected toughened weapons to the fireball underground. Plumbbob released 58,300 kilocuries (2.16 EBq) of radioiodine (I-131) into the atmosphere. This produced total civilian radiation exposures amounting to 120 million person-rads of thyroid tissue exposure (about 32% of all exposure due to continental nuclear tests). This can be expected to eventually cause or have caused about 38,000 cases of thyroid cancer, leading to some 1900 deaths. [citation needed] In addition, troop exercises conducted near the ground near shot "Smoky" exposed over three thousand servicemen to relatively high levels of radiation. Note: A study in 1980 found significantly elevated rates of leukemia among the soldiers surveyed (ten cases were found, instead of the baseline expected four).

Operation Plumbbob was a series of nuclear tests conducted between May 28 and October 7, 1957 at the Nevada Test Site, following Operation Redwing, and preceding Operation Hardtack I. It was the biggest, longest, and most controversial test series in the continental United States.

A brief film covering the start and process of Operation Plumbbob. Plumbbob was the largest, longest, and most controversial series of nuclear tests done by the US, which lasted from May 28, 1957 to November 7, 1957. It was done at the Nevada Test Site.

Over three hundred nuclear tests have been done since the atomic age began.

Operacion Plumbbob 1957 http://pabloshi.blogspot.com/

(PLEASE READ FIRST!!!) Stranded is finally here! Ok not finally...if u thought u saw a plumbbob, it wasnt... it was something leftover even after i removed the plumbbob...I know my camerawork isnt good and better quality is promised next time!

It's time for Angela's date with Dustin! Things start out well, but what happens when Lilith has to talk to Dustin as Angela? Sorry about the plumbbob above the car in the beginning, but I was filming at a community lot and sometimes cheats don't work there. Anyways, I hope you enjoy.

A love story. Sweet but has the evil plumbbob lurking in almost every scene. Useless information: My computer, at the time, did not get the "cut scenes". So, a friend and my hubby got me a new video card and my "cut scenes" appeared. I made this movie in honor of that. If you notice, all "cut scenes" are present in this movie. And, I dedicate this movie to all Special moments, blah blah blah. Meaning, all the "special moments" I didn't have before the new video card. As for the song, no religious conotations, I just think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever made. So, I used it.

http://simstyle12.weebly.com this is my version of Day 26 - Got Me Going and if u noticed the green diamond(plumbob) is not over the sism head cuz i figured otu a way to get it off cuz that plumbbob toggle code doesn't work

I made this for my radio/tv class. No too bad if I may say so. Wish I could get rid of the group plumbbob.

Jesus True Gospel Message of Peace The message of truth of Jesus words and theme have been trampled under foot by men in power in religious institutions from long ago in history. The modern day message and the traditionalists of the Old Religion as it were, need to see the consistency of the message. I am in no position to say your religion is wrong or off track, but I am in a position to say, this is what my personal revelation of it all has come to, from an intelligent, good willed, pure hearted searching of truth and understanding. And so use this as a plumb bob to test if your growth is in this same direction. For we are in dire times. Religions came after Abraham. He simply followed his heart to believe in what is right. That is the call to the spirit in all. To unite and do fairly and kindly to one another, and in simply doing this, we create heaven on earth. Peace. I hope you enjoy. I am working on a series of these. I do not profess to know all the answers. I simply know what I know, and am where I am in my spiritual growth in the knowledge and application of methods to reach my higher potential into the image of the mature human being, made in the image of God. These are what a true relationship with God is about. Not fear and trembling, but walking with the spirit indwelling. With intuition becoming another factor of human development. Where like as Jesus said, we can do as he did and greater things, will all believers do. As he goes to the Father to fulfill all things. We have authority as children of God. As sons of God. As heirs to the throne of God. As made in His image and likeness, to grow into our DNA, as the man god, in the image of our Father which is in heaven.

After a week of exciting pictures info and a video, I am uploading all our Sims 3 pics in one video. Enjoy!

This video has already been poated on here but thought I'd post it again so more people would find it. The makers of the game talk about some of the new features, and for the first time, we see actual gameplay footage! No copyright infringement intended.

-Created by Mado- Made with various clips form other movies I've made, and ones from the game. Some of the clips were not intended to actually be in a video, which explains the occasional plumbbob or two. It was made out of sheer boredom, but I thought it turned out okay, so I put it on here. It is supposed to tell a story, but not all fit together as one. And that is how I wanted it. Random, but united in a way. I hope you like it =] MUSIC: Depeche Mode, "Precious"

Michael Duntres woke up in a small room. There was no way out. The only thing in this room is a bed. As the days go on how will he stay alive? He is trapped... This is my first machinima, so go easy, I don't know how to egt rid of the plumb bob thingos (Green arrows above sims head), if anyone knows how please tell me. Also I had this idea and filmed it all in the time of about half an hour. So I guess it's a little rushed. I'm planning more machinimas as well, all using The Sims 2.
