The United States announced hundreds of videos of top secret nuclear bombs

The US National Laboratory has just released a video of a declassified documentary about the Cold War nuclear bomb test.

Hundreds of film records of secret US nuclear bomb testing activities during the Cold War have been declassified and announced after 65 years of being stored in strict security archives, ABC News yesterday. reported.

From 1945 to 1962, the US detonated more than 210 nuclear bombs and used cameras to record each experimental explosion at a rate of 2,400 frames / s. For decades, about 10,000 films of this type are stored in highly secure security repositories.

A group of scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has been working hard for five years to find and decipher these films before they disappear forever.

Weapon physicist Greg Spriggs, head of the LLNL search team, said they found the film when they were in the process of decomposition because it was made of organic cellulose nitrate material.

"You can smell sour like vinegar when taking these videos," Spriggs said on YouTube.

Currently about 4,200 movies have been re-scanned, 400-500 films have been analyzed and about 750 films have been completely declassified.

According to LLNL, the purpose of this restoration is to provide data to US scientists in building nuclear bomb testing models on computers.

Mr. Spriggs thinks these films will also play a role in preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the future.

"I believe that if we understand history, understand the devastation of these weapons, people will not want to use them," Spriggs said.
