Operation Upshot-Knothole - 1953 - 35 minutes - Color
This operation conducted at the Nevada Test Site consisted of 11 atmospheric
tests. There were three airdrops, seven tower tests, and one airburst.
Conducted between March 17 and June 4, 1953, this operation involved the
testing of new theories, using both fission and fusion devices. A new
and revolutionary method of producing deliverable thermonuclear weapons
was successfully tested. Approximately 21,000 Department of Defense military
and civilian personnel participated in Operation Upshot-Knothole as part
of the Desert Rock V exercise.
Unfortunately, Operation Upshot-Knothole, particularly the HARRY test,
drew a great deal of criticism as resultant fallout levels produced increased
offsite radiation exposures.
The tests comprising the 1953 Operation Upshot-Knothole were as follows:
ANNIE, March 17, tower, weapons related, 16 kilotons (kt)
NANCY, March 24, tower, weapons related, 24 kt
RUTH, March 31, tower, weapons related, 200 tons
DIXIE, April 6, airdrop, weapons related, 11 kt
RAY, April 11, tower, weapons related, 200 tons
BADGER, April 18, tower, weapons related, 23 kt
SIMON, April 25, tower, weapons related, 43 kt
ENCORE, May 8, airdrop, weapons effects, 27 kt
HARRY, May 19, tower, weapons related, 32 kt

and Handling: |
U.S. $3.00
for the first item purchased. An additional $1.00 will be charged

Here is how
this works on eBay. First, make all the purchases you want without
making a payment. When you make your final product purchase, make
your payment. At that point, eBay will allow you to combine all
your purchases into a single payment and will automatically charge
you the shipping charges as stated above. If you do not follow this
procedure, you will be making multiple payments, paying shipping
multiple times and get your order sent in multiple packages.
If this process
doesn't work, contact us and we will generate a correct invoice
for you.
