 | Operation Cue DVD Nuclear Atomic Test (1955)
The Operation Cue nuclear explosion took place at 5:10 o'clock Thurs- day morning, May 5, 1955, on Yucca Flat, at the Nevada Test Site of the Atomic Energy Commission. The device was -detonated as part of the AEC developmental program. It took place on a 500-foot steel tower and was equivalent in power to approximately 30 kilotons of TNT. There were 65 associated experiments in this test. The effects studied included 17 diagnostic, 9 military, and 48 civil effects projects. Operation Cue was the fourth civil defense participation in Nevada atomic tests. -%Its activities were composed of 3 major elements: (a) an observer program, (b) a field exercise program, and (c) the civil effects tests. In the first, the Federal Civil Defense Administration continued the pro- gram of informing the public, their officials, representatives of business and industry, and members of the information media on the effects of nuclear weapons. The high point of the observer program was the detona- tion. In addition to this all observers received extensive preshot and post- shot briefings on atomic blast, thermal and nuclear radiation, precautions for public safety, and objectives of the experiments. The field exercise program represented the first participation of this kind by volunteer civil defense workers. These representatives of civil defense services came from all over the Nation to witness the explosion. They were organized by services to operate as a team, exchanging ideas, conduct- ing simulated exercises, and preparing themselves for communicating their experiences to their associates at home.
