Vela Uniform Participation in Operation Nougat and Gnome - 1961-62. The majority of Operation Nougat's nuclear tests were shaft or tunnel tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) for weapons development purposes. http://www.nv.doe.gov/library/films/film.aspx?ID=15 0800028 - Vela Uniform Participation in Operation Nougat and Gnome - 1961-62 - 21:30 - Black&White; - The majority of Operation Nougat's nuclear tests were shaft or tunnel tests conducted at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) for weapons development purposes. However, this series also included the beginning of the Plowshare Program nuclear tests -- a program to determine how nuclear energy could be used for civilian or peaceful purposes, and for the Vela Uniform Program nuclear tests -- a program for detecting nuclear explosions underground, using ground-based instruments for detecting explosions in outer space, and establishing satellite-based instruments for the detection of explosions in outer space. Specifically, these scientists and engineers working on the GNOME test evaluated new seismic detectors which they hoped would lead to an underground test detection system. Earlier, different seismic measurement programs were conducted at the NTS by the Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S. Air Force before becoming part of the Vela Uniform Program. The GNOME test was fired 1200 feet underground in a salt bed formation near Carlsbad, NM, on December 10, 1961. There were 48 subsurface experiments involved, making GNOME the most heavily instrumented seismic test in history. This testing provided valuable data for both the Plowshare and Vela Uniform Programs. Although GNOME was a Plowshare test, the Vela Uniform objective was to determine how the signals and effects of a 3-kiloton device detonated underground in salt beds differed from the outputs of detonations of different yields in other geologic formations. Scientists also wanted to compare the seismic signals from underground tests with that of earthquakes. The Vela Uniform Program included seven tests conducted at several locations in the continental U.S. and Alaska between October 1963 and July 1971. These tests were SHOAL, SALMON, LONG SHOT, STERLING, SCROLL, DIAMOND DUST, and DIAMOND MINE. Operation Nougat, conducted from September 15, 1961, to June 30, 1962, consisted of 45 on-continent underground tests, and all but GNOME were conducted at the NTS. The video discusses only some of the Nougat tests; however, the complete listing is provided for additional information.- published: 21 Aug 2013

Project Long Shot (one of three atomic bombs in Alaska)
Project Long Shot (1965) - 13:15 - Color. This film discusses Project LONG SHOT, a Department of Defense, Defense Atomic Support Agency- sponsored underground test, with participation of the Atomic Energy Commission, the Department of the Interior, the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, and numerous university scientists and engineers. The approximately 80-kiloton LONG SHOT device, buried 2300 feet underground, was detonated on October 29, 1965. As part of the Vela Uniform Program, LONG SHOT's primary purpose was to find ways to detect nuclear explosions underground using ground-based seismic instruments. The film discusses geological studies conducted on the island prior to the detonation; test preparations including construction milestones; an overview of experiments conducted during the project; and environmental and safety activities before and after the test. The canister holding the nuclear explosive is shown being lowered into the shaft. Surface effects during and after the detonation are also shown. The three underground nuclear tests conducted on Amchitka Island, Alaska, were as follows: LONG SHOT, October 29, 1965, shaft, Vela Uniform Project, approximately 80 kilotons MILROW October 2, 1969, shaft, weapons related, approximately 1 megaton (Mt) CANNIKIN, November 6, 1971, shaft, weapons related, less than 5 Mt- published: 18 Jun 2014

Increíble Terremoto artificial 7.0° (Pruéba Nuclear Subterranea Cannikin)
© Atomic Journeys "Welcome to Ground Zero" By Peter Kuran El siguiente material, fue sometido a un proceso de restauración y mejoramiento digital para logran una calidad HD, de la prueba nuclear subterránea "Cannikin" en 1971. Cannikin explotó el 6 de noviembre de 1971. La potencia de la explosión fue de "menos de cinco" megatones, lo cual la convierte en la prueba nuclear más potente de historia de los Estados Unidos. Las estimaciones de la potencia exacta varían desde los 4,4 Mt hasta los 5,2 Mt. El suelo se elevó 6 metros, debido a una explosión equivalente a casi 400 veces la potencia de la bomba de Hiroshima. El hundimiento y los desperfectos en el terreno crearon un nuevo lago, de más de 1 600 metros de anchura. La explosión provocó un golpe sísmico de 7,0 en la escala de Richter, provocando la caída de piedras y movimientos de terreno en un área de 3 250 metros cuadrados. Aunque los terremotos y los tsunamis que predijeron los ecologistas no ocurrieron, un número importante de pequeños movimientos tectónicos sí ocurrieron en las semanas siguientes, y se piensa que se debieron a la interacción de la explosión con las tensiones tectónicas. mchitka, una de una cadena de las islas Aleutianas en el suroeste de Alaska, fue seleccionado por la Comisión de Energía Atómica de EE.UU. para ser el sitio de 3 detonaciones subterráneas de armas nucleares. Las pruebas fueron: Long Shot, una explosión de 80 kilotones en 1965; Milrow, una explosión de 1 megatón en 1969, y Cannikin en 1971, a 5 millones de toneladas, fue la mayor prueba subterránea que se ha realizado por los Estados Unidos. Las pruebas fueron muy controvertidas, con los grupos ecologistas temen que la explosión Cannikin, en particular, causaría terremotos y tsunamis graves. Subido: 02 / 03 / 14 - Arequipa - Perú ATOMIC JOURNEYS explores the secret history of the over 900 Atomic and Hydrogen bomb tests detonated throughout the United States in previously unknown locations as diverse as Mississippi, Colorado, New Mexico and Alaska. Atomic Journeys DVD Cover Many of these tests were part of two U.S. Atomic Energy Commission nuclear testing projects, dubbed "Plowshare" and "Vela Uniform." The purpose of "Plowshare" was to explore the use of nuclear weapons for so called "peaceful purposes" such as building new canals and harbors. The "Vela Uniform" program was created to detect the seismic signals of nuclear explosions, and to hide these signals as well. Through the use of spectacular, never-before-seen nuclear test footage, ATOMIC JOURNEYS travels to former test sites and examines the physical changes to the environment, the history behind each test and what the test sites are like today. Finally, we will visit the Nevada Test Site, Located 65 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada, the Nevada Test Site has come to be known as the most bombed place on earth.

Project Gnome (Posttest) Nuclear explosion used for civilian purposes - 1961
GNOME was the first nuclear test in the Plowshare Program. The Plowshare Program objectives were to determine how energy produced from nuclear explosions could be used for peaceful or civilian purposes. 0800034 - Project Gnome - 1961 - 29:13 - Color - Project GNOME was part of Operation Nougat. The 3-kiloton GNOME test was detonated 1200 feet underground in a salt bed formation on December 10, 1961, near Carlsbad, New Mexico. GNOME was the first nuclear test in the Plowshare Program. The Plowshare Program objectives were to determine how energy produced from nuclear explosions could be used for peaceful or civilian purposes. The Vela Uniform Program studied seismic detection, identification, and location of nuclear explosions. Studies were conducted underground with ground-based instruments for detecting explosions in outer space and with established satellite-based instruments for detecting explosions in outer space. Although GNOME was a Plowshare test, the Vela Uniform objective was to determine how the signals and effects of a 3-kiloton device detonated underground in salt beds differed from the outputs of detonations of different yields in other geologic formations such as tuff and granite. Scientists also wanted to compare the seismic signals from underground tests with that of earthquakes. This video contains footage different from that shown in video number 0800028, and includes an introduction by Dr. Edward Teller, one of the few times he was captured on film. Several long-range and close-up views of surface effects from the detonation are shown as well as people reentering the detonation cavity approximately 6 months after the test when the underground cavity was opened to both official observers and members of the press. No other Operation Nougat footage is shown in this video. http://www.nv.doe.gov/library/films/film.aspx?ID=84- published: 22 Aug 2013
