World-Wide Fallout From Nuclear Weapons Pt. 1 of 3
Presented by The Defense Atomic Support Agency
Rolling introduction...”report is confined to the fallout...produced by all nuclear explosions prior to the Soviet tests of 1961.”
09:02:04 VO w/ animated space illustration. “...radioactivity produced by...stars...so radioactivity is no new thing on earth. ...unstable atoms in the earth itself...” Animation
09:04:07 “That’s how it was when nature got along without man’s help...” Man lectures on stage w/ mobiles & photographs & illustrations. Says figuring out radioactivity & fallout not so easy to figure.
09:05:56 Atoms of uranium are fissioned or split... animation drawings showing radioactivity given off.
09:06:17 Atomic bomb blast mushroom cloud. Animation of fallout, shown across abstract desert & mountains. Chart of decay rate w/ effect on people at bottom. Lecturer saying easy to protect from local variety w/ fallout shelter.
09:08:29 Talks about world-wide rather than local fallout. Points at photos. Talks about the particles that are so fine they stay aloft drifting around the world which are the basis of world-wide fallout.
09:10:04 Atomic explosion w/ VO talking about the fallout of ultra-lightweight particles that will only fall when washed out by rain or snow in the troposphere. Diagram showing layers, stratosphere carrying w/o mixing thru the tropopause layer. Jet stream seen.
09:12:21 Illustration of thermonuclear explosion at Pacific Proving Ground, Marshall Islands. Cloud up into stratosphere to 70,000 ft. Particles returning thru breaks in tropopause layer. Explains that USSR, British & USA fallout is deposited in Northern Hemisphere between 30 & 50 degrees north. Continued...
