United States Nuclear Test Operation Ivy: King test
United States conducts nuclear tests for Operation King at Enewetak Atoll (sometimes spelled Eniwetok or Eniewetok) in the Marshall Islands. Footage of King test, which involved a prototype of a Mk 18 Super Oralloy bomb ("SOB") dropped by a B-36H bomber. Broken clouds in sky. Whiteness of blast from atomic bomb obscures the area. Shock wave spreads over the water, the mushroom cloud with its thin trunk extends up from the water, top of the cloud becomes very white. Mushroom cloud churns up further skyward.
Detonation of liquid thermonuclear device MIKE, the first hydrogen bomb, at Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands.
Full-scale thermonuclear test of ultracold liquid deuterium, codenamed Ivy MIKE at Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific Proving Ground in the Marshall Islands (sometimes spelled Eniwetok or Eniewetok). (Left to right) Chief engineering and firing commander, Stan Burris -- later the leader of the Strategic Ballistic Missile development, including Polaris and later editions; retired as CEO of Rockwell Aerospace -- military firing and security commander, Colonel Richard Lunger, and ultracold refrigeration engineering commander for thermonuclear liquid fuel state monitoring, Robert Gibney. The intense nuclear radiation ignited the atmosphere around the device, creating a fireball 4.2 miles across. A remote firing control was created, using a televison tower beam signal to safely trigger the detonation from the USS Estes, approximately 35 miles south/southeast of the detonation. White hot device remnant specks are visible throughout the surface of the fireball. Shockwave from Operation Ivy Mike explosion is seen spreading across the water, then a white mushroom cloud spreading above. View of crew on ship deck observing blast. Device yield: 10.4 megatons.
A documentary shows Admiral Hyman G. Rickover explaining about USS Nautilus SSN-571 with the help of a model submarine
A documentary depicts Admiral Hyman G. Rickover explaining the first nuclear powered submarine, USS Nautilus, with the help of a model submarine in the United States. He explains how the nuclear power works. A woman assistant in uniform opens the top of the model submarine. Adm Rickover explains the mechanics of the nuclear power using a pointer. He points at a uranium filled container and a boiler that produces steam for the turbine to start. Adm Rickover demonstrates the opening the turbine valve. He further talks about how the power plant works. The assistant places a shield near the power plant to show how one is used to protect crew from atomic radiation.

A documentary shows a United States official explaining about the first nuclear powered submarine, USS Nautilus, with the help of a model submarine in the United States. He explains how the nuclear power works. The official talks about protection against radiation. He explains the mechanics of the nuclear power using a stick. He points at a uranium filled container and a boiler that produces steam for the turbine to start. The official demonstrates the operation of the power plant by opening and closing the turbine valve. He further talks about how the power plant works. Arrows on the pipes of the power plant.
A U.S. official explains about submarine 'Turtle' with the help of a picture in the United States.
A documentary shows a United States official explaining about the first U.S. submarine 'Turtle' with the help a picture in the United States. He explains the functioning of the submarine pointing at its picture with a stick in hand. He points at a lever in the front and a bomb at the other end of the picture. A chart explains that 1 pound of uranium is equal to 2,600,000 pounds of coal. Another chart shows batteries of the submarine. A picture of the RMS Queen Mary. A diagram on the chart shows the amount of air required to burn oil. A woman assistant removes the charts from a table.
