Nuclear weapons testing

Reflection of the blast of an atom bomb shows members of the crew aboard a Navy vessel watching the tests at the instant of detonation. Some crew members shield their eyes and turn their backs from the blast. Others, wearing glasses, face the blast.

Before the bomb tests are made at Eniwetok, a tremendous amount of preparation takes place. A crew of men prepare a water sample cable with flotation blocks.

An inspection party on one of the islands at Eniwetok views the devastation caused by the blast of an atom bomb.

Participants in the experimental bomb tests at Eniwetok are carefully checked for radioactivity. Mr. Louis Hagemyer of Dayton, Ohio is being checked here while others await their turn in line.
