Declassified 1962 U.S. Nuclear Test Film – Project Sedan
video Friday, December 17th, 2010Project Sedan, a Plowshare Program test, that promoted the application of nuclear explosives to develop peaceful uses for atomic energy, was conducted at the Nevada Test Site on July 6, 1962. This subsurface explosion, with a yield of 104 kilotons, displaced 12 million tons of earth and formed a 1,280-foot-diameter by 320-foot-deep crater in the desert floor, releasing seismic energy equivalent to 4.75 on the Richter Scale. The purpose of the Sedan explosion was to determine if nuclear devices could be used as excavating mechanisms.
From watching the video we are told by the narrator that the deeper the nuclear explosive charge is buried less radioactive fallout occurs. According to the video less than 4% of nuclear radiation would be released. It goes on to explain the visual effect of such an explosion. The cloud formation and base surge looked strikingly like the dust cloud formation and base surge millions saw on September 11, 2001. This would explain the low radiation levels that were detected at ground zero of the World Trade Centers. This would also explain how thick concrete and steal girders were pulverized into dust and why the World Trade Center Towers collapsed almost entirely within their own footprint. This was a controlled demolition of the World Trade Centers using technology they developed with the Sedan Project – excavating by nuclear detonation.
