Hi there,

Together with my friends from Atomicforum.org we are currently collecting (buying) the unclassified Nuclear Test Films from the Department of Energy to make them free
downloadable for everyone.
These films are Public Domain, so it is legal !!
You can order them on tape from this site.
http://www.nv.doe.gov/library/films/testfilms.aspx

The follwing films are up and can be downloaded.

-Military Participation on TUMBLER-SNAPPER 1952-
An early test Operation at the Nevada Test Site consisting of 8 Nuclear Tests. On some Shots the Army was doing troop exercises.

-Operation GREENHOUSE (1951)-
A test Operation at the Pacific Proving Grounds 1951 consisting of 4 Nuclear Detonations at the Enewetak Atoll.

-Military Effects on Operation REDWING (1956)-
A high yield Operation conducted at Bikini and Enewetak
consisting of 17 Nuclear and Thermo Nuclear Detonations.
The first time that a Fusion Bomb was dropped by plane.

More Info can be found when you follow the links.
I will update this list as soon as more are uploaded.
But it might take quite some time !!

Well.. telling you "enjoy" is probabelly the wrong
word. But it´s definitely and interessting look into a

Operation Castle Commander´s Report.
http://www.archive.org/details/CastleCommandersReport1954

"Operation CASTLE was a six-detonation test series held at the
Atomic Energy Commission's (AEC) Pacific Proving Ground in the Spring of
1954. This test series, principally conducted at the Enewetak and Bikini
Atolls in the northwestern Marshall Islands, provided proof tests of
large-yield thermonuclear, or hydrogen, devices.

The Bravo event of the CASTLE series yielded 15 megatons, unexpectedly the most ever exploded in atmospheric testing by the U.S.. A scientific miscalculation based on a then-unknown "tritium fusion bonus" of highly enriched lithium-6 contributing the yield to be about two and a half times of that what was expected.

Reports indicate that Bravo was the single worst incident of fallout exposure in all of the U.S. atmospheric testing program. Despite winds in an acceptable flow zone, the greatly unexpected yield caused a much larger mushroom than originally calculated, causing a much wider and massive accumulation path of fallout danger. Fallout was scattered over more than 5,000 square miles of ocean and islands, resulting in the contamination and exposure of military, civilian U.S. personnel working on the shot, and people of the islands who were earlier moved to a supposedly "safe" island but received large amounts of radiation. Acute radiation effects were observed among some of these people."

..... one of the most scarry movies about nuclear testing !
