Fireball of atomic bomb explosion, high-speed footage. This fireball was produced by the detonation of the Apple-2 test, which took place on 5 May 1955 at the Nevada Test Site, Nevada, USA. It was the 13th test in the Operation Teapot series. Part of this test involved studying the effects of the explosion on mannequins and houses placed around 2 kilometres from the detonation site. This explosion had a yield of 29 kilotons. It was a tower test, meaning that the bomb was placed on the top of a tower (150 metres tall) before detonation. | |
