Some random clips pulled together for fun. Enjoy!!

A short film telling the story of the search, mining, refinement, and use of atomically active chemicals like uranium-235 and plutonium-239.

Tube's most exploding video ever, wrapped together by uploader. Don't do this at home and remember to wear safety goggles before watching, thanks.

Is Nuclear Power "Green" ??? With the radioactive waste produced being the MOST toxic thing on Planet Earth? besides being long-lived, for example, plutonium-239 has a 'hazardous life' of 240,000 to 480,000 yrs during which we have to worry about us humans and our fellow animals contracting cancer, being mutated, and losing our fetuses due to genetic damage. The past aborted attempt to dump nuclear waste in any dump in America unmonitored as 'Below Regulatory Concern' or 'BRC' actually took place in 1991. America has been called the Persian Gulf of Wind because just the Dakotas can produce 2/3 rds of US electricity with its winds, and Texas could provide the other third. Besides an area in Nevada 100 X 120 miles rectangular, able to produce all the electricity our USA needs via solar power, as revealed by the Union Of Concerned Scientists (UCS). See much more at http://www.crestofthewave.com High level waste (e.g., control rods after one year of deployment within nuclear reactor) very deadly: if you stand three feet away for 10 seconds, you will receive a fatal dose, and probably die within 2 weeks from radiation sickness, where your immune system implodes and you bleed from too many of your orifices. New German study shows increased incidence of cancer around nuclear plants. Is that 'green' ?

pls rate & sub. On August 6, 1945, the United States used a massive, atomic weapon against Hiroshima, Japan. This atomic bomb, the equivalent of 20,000 tons of TNT, flattened the city, killing tens of thousands of civilians. At 2:45 a.m. on Monday, August 6, 1945, a B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, took off from Tinian, a North Pacific island in the Marianas, 1,500 miles south of Japan. The twelve-man crew were on board to make sure this secret mission went smoothly. Colonel Paul Tibbets, the pilot, nicknamed the B-29 the "Enola Gay" after his mother.On a hook in the ceiling of the plane, hung the ten-foot atomic bomb, "Little Boy." It was created using uranium-235, a radioactive isotope of uranium. This uranium-235 atomic bomb, a product of $2 billion of research, had never been tested. On August 6, 1945, the first choice target, Hiroshima, was having clear weather. At 8:15 a.m. (local time), the Enola Gay's door sprang open and dropped "Little Boy." The bomb exploded 1,900 feet above the city and only missed the target, the Aioi Bridge, by approximately 800 feet.Two-thirds of Hiroshima was destroyed. Within three miles of the explosion, 60,000 of the 90,000 buildings were demolished. Clay roof tiles had melted together. Shadows had imprinted on buildings and other hard surfaces. Metal and stone had melted. Hiroshima's population has been estimated at 350,000; approximately 70,000 died immediately from the explosion and another 70,000 died from radiation within five years. While the people of Japan tried to comprehend the devastation in Hiroshima, the United States was preparing a second bombing mission. The second run was not delayed in order to give Japan time to surrender, but was waiting only for a sufficient amount of plutonium-239 for the atomic bomb. On August 9, only three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, another B-29, Bock's Car , left Tinian at 3:49 a.m.The first choice target for this bombing run had been Kokura. Since the haze over Kokura prevented the sighting of the bombing target, Bock's Car continued on to its second target. At 11:02 a.m., the atomic bomb, "Fat Man," was dropped over Nagasaki.
