The operation was the sixth test series and consisted of 29 detonations, of which two did not produce any nuclear yield. 21 laboratories and government agencies were involved. While most Operation Plumbbob tests contributed to the development of warheads for intercontinental and intermediate range missiles, they also tested air defense and anti-submarine warheads with small yields. They included 43 military effects tests on civil and military structures, radiation and bio-medical studies, and aircraft structural tests. Operation Plumbbob had the tallest tower tests to date in the U.S. nuclear testing program, as well as high-altitude balloon tests. One nuclear test involved the largest troop maneuver ever associated with U.S. nuclear testing. Approximately 18,000 members of the U.S. armed forces participated in exercises Desert Rock VII and VIII during Operation Plumbbob. The military was interested in knowing how the average foot-soldier would stand up, physically and psychologically, to the rigors of the tactical nuclear battlefield. Studies were conducted of radiation contamination and fallout from a simulated accidental detonation of a weapon; and projects concerning earth motion, blast loading and neutron output were carried out. Nuclear weapons safety experiments were conducted to study the possibility of a nuclear weapon detonation during an accident. On July 26, 1957, a safety experiment, "Pascal-A" was detonated in an unstemmed hole at NTS, becoming the first underground shaft nuclear test. The knowledge gained here would provide data to prevent nuclear yields in case of accidential detonations, for example a plane crash. The first detonation contained underground, "Rainier", was conducted on September 19, 1957, containing all radioactive products underground, thus producing no fallout. This test of 1.7 kilotons could be detected around the world by seismologists using ordinary seismic instruments. The Rainier test became the prototype for larger and more powerful underground tests. The test also subjected toughened weapons to the fireball underground. Plumbbob released 58,300 kilocuries (2.16 EBq) of radioiodine (I-131) into the atmosphere. This produced total civilian radiation exposures amounting to 120 million person-rads of thyroid tissue exposure (about 32% of all exposure due to continental nuclear tests). This can be expected to eventually cause or have caused about 38,000 cases of thyroid cancer, leading to some 1900 deaths. [citation needed] In addition, troop exercises conducted near the ground near shot "Smoky" exposed over three thousand servicemen to relatively high levels of radiation. Note: A study in 1980 found significantly elevated rates of leukemia among the soldiers surveyed (ten cases were found, instead of the baseline expected four). (Less)
Gymnastics Considered Episode 8 - 2008 European Championship So, I realized over half-way through filming myself that I had the camera turned the wrong way. (More) So, I realized over half-way through filming myself that I had the camera turned the wrong way. I'm not sure there is a way to change the position in editing, so I decided to just leave it as it was, because I wanted to go ahead and get this episode up as quickly as possible. Thanks! (And don't make fun of me...) Team Results: 1. Romania 2. Russia 3. France Italy Ukraine Great Britian Germany Netherlands Event Finals: (summary taken from the European Union of Gymnastics website) Vault: The title has not escaped to Oksana Chusovitina (GER) who had already widened the gap after her first jump: 15.600 for an outstanding exercise starting with 6.30. Having fallen at the landing of the second jump (14.025) did not penalize her. She is followed by the Italian duo composed of C. Giovannini (14.662) and Franca Benolli (14.662). Anna Pavlova (RUS) has not presented the same performance as on the first day (2nd), falling at the landing. Following a protest her score is revised (14.337) but this does not affect the initial classification... Uneven bars: After 4 competitors, two Ukrainians were in the lead. Darya Zgoba 15.625 (dismount with a double salto forwards) and A. Koval 15.425 (as well with a double salto forwards). Then came the turn of Elizabeth Tweddle, who was heading for the victory. She impressed the spectators in the competition hall with a new element. Steliana Nistor (ROU) took the lead of the competition after performing a beautiful routine. Last to pass, the Russian K. Semenova, who had dominated the qualifying competition, did the same (15.900) and beat the Romanian by a hair's-breadth. Beam: Ksenia Semenova showed a great gymnastics as well as corporeal mastering, compared to the first day where she fell. She presents a wonderful exercise, particularly stable, with a nice dismount (15,950, A value: 6.70). Steliana Nistor, how passes after her, falls at the beginning of her exercise, which she finishes with a beautiful acrobatic intensity (15,075, A value: 6.70). Sandra Izbasa, leading after the first day, and Alina Kozich (UKR) obtain the same total. The French Pauline Morel, who could hope for a medal, experienced some imbalances, despite a series of well controlled turns and saltos followed by a longitudinal dismount (value 6.60 A note 15.300). Floor: Great atmosphere at these last finals, where the exercises are punctuated by the music. Two French begin this final passage; Cassy Vericel, 4th 2007 in Amsterdam, (14.775) and Marine Petit (14.900, A value: 6.100) who takes the lead of the competition. Anna Pavlova is ahead of Véricel, but remains behind Marine. The Romanian Adriana Tamirjan beats everyone (14.975). Oksana Chusovitina has a tremendous support of the public, which is demonstrated with a lot of whistles as the score is announced (14.850). Great applause from the public accompanying the exercise of Sandra Izbasa, who deserved the victory. The competition ended with the four award ceremonies. Afterwards the official UEG flag was handed over by Jacques Rey, President of the French Federation, to Riccardo Agabio, president of the Italian Federation, whose country will host the European Championships in individual men and women artistic gymnastics in 2009 (in principle Milan). At the end of the competitions, the UEG, the FFG and the local organizing committee, chaired by Pascal Vacant, with some 250 volunteers, have exchanged there thanks and gifts. The closing banquet took part in the famous Vulcania Park, where some 600 people were invited by the management of the park. It was a great opportunity to discover the impressive and exciting animations of this park. A visit which had already been offered the day before to all media representatives of these championships. This tour was really appreciated and awoke moreover the desire to return and stay longer in this exceptional place. (Less)
