2 Nevada test site was created on January 11, 1951 for nuclear testing and on January 27, 1951 was the first nuclear test. There are two airstrips and 1,100 building on the test site. There were a total of 928 announced nuclear testing between 1951-1992. Nevada was the main site where the US tested nuclear weapons. During a test in the 1950s clouds of smoke could be seen 100 miles away.

3 H Bomb The H bomb is 1,000 times stronger than the atomic bomb. Hungarian-born physicist Edward Teller and Polish-born mathematician Stanisław Ulam, who developed it in 1951. U.S was the first one to test the H-Bomb in 1952. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNcQX033V_M See a H Bomb being tested.

4 H Bomb Diagram The energy released by the primary compresses the secondary through the concept of "radiation implosion" which causes the secondary to react.

5 Ivy Mike It was detonated on November 1, 1952 by the United States. It was tested at the Enewetak Atoll. It was considered the first successful test of a hydrogen bomb. It was 20.3 feet in height and weighed about 54 tons. Its nicknamed “Sausage” when it was all assembly. The device was designed by Richard Garwin. http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Tests/Ivy.html For more info click the link at the bottom of the page.

6 Castle Bravo The first U.S. test of a dry fuel thermonuclear hydrogen bomb device detonated on March 1, 1954. It was tested a Bikini Atoll by the United States as the first test of Operation Castle. Castle Bravo was about 1,200 times more powerful than the atomic bombs which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. There were many Operation Castle bombs I will name some on the next slide. http://www.donaldedavis.com/CAS TBRAV/CASLBRV.html For more info click the link. The designer of the bomb was Edward Teller. It weight 23,500 lb and was 14.95 feet long.

7 Operation Castle These were all tested in the 1950s. Castle Union Castle Yankee Castle Echo Castle Nectar Castle Romeo Castle Koon
