Operation Cue atom bomb test. Image 1 of 2. Liquefied petroleum gas tank and shed smouldering in the thermal pulse from an atomic explosion. During an atomic explosion,non-thermal radiation (gamma rays) is followed by a thermal pulse and then a blast wave. This test took place on 5th May 1955,at the Nevada Test Site,USA,as part of Operation Cue. This operation,supervised by the Federal Civil Defense Administration,included experiments like these,to test the effect of an atom bomb on civilian areas.
