It was intentional. They wanted to study the effects of the radiation on people. My dad was a USAF member during the 60s and 70s. He told me stories of the USAF helping to test the effects of nuclear fallout by dropping nuclear bombs a few miles away from where US Army soldiers were told to camp to expose them to it. He also knew of pilots who were ordered to fly through and around the nuclear detonations to test their effects on the planes and crew. The US govt also found ways to expose its own citizens to radiation to study its health effects without their knowledge or consent too. All nuclear power governments are guilty of these kinds of experiments. When certain harmless public campaigns arise from seemingly nowhere, follow their connections. Many of them will have ties to various government agencies, some that may seem to have nothing to do with what’s being promoted, like when the Quaker Oats company partnered with the Dept of Energy for an oatmeal nutrition experiment. Never trust what the government says about anything. If they say they didn’t do it, they probably did. If they say things are fine, they’re probably not fine.

@ralphmorgan6130

What do you think a 'real cleanup' is? Generally it is removing large, physical, radioactive pieces of rock and other debris. Removing (and burying somewhere) any highly radioactive patches of contaminated topsoil. And then mixing remaining, slightly contaminated top few mm of soil with the underlying soil to reduce level of radiation (which is what the plowing would have done). Plutonium (and other radioactive material, such as soil made radioactive by exposure to a nuclear blast) does just sit around in macroscopic chunks waiting to be picked up and removed. How did you think microscopic pieces of plutonium that might be spread over hundreds of sq km of land area be 'cleaned up'. I totally agree with you assessment that you 'might not be the smartest person to ever grace the planet' though ;) ps. How do you think they are doing the 'cleanup' of the contaminated water stored at Fukishima? They are basically removing the majority of the radioisotopes (that can be easily removed) from the water, then pumping the remaining water (still contaminated by deuterium -- which is chemically identical to the normal hydrogen in water) into the ocean to dilute it a few hundred thousand times. Yes, that will increase the radiation level in the world's oceans by a tiny fraction -- but a lot less than you would increase your bodies natural radioactivity by eating a banana.

I need a 2 hour ASMR sleep video by Tibee.

I actually watch Tibees because her voice calms me down in times of stress.

I love these short documentary videos covering topics that are less covered. Fantastic work!

That Geiger counter used in the video is a Ludlum model 2 paired with a 44-3 1.5 inch NaI scintillating probe. I used to fix these detectors up. Despite the scary sounding beeping, it isn't a lot of radiation with that detector. An old orange uranium glazed dish will make it beep far more. With that said, the bulk of what it's detecting is probably 137Cs and unreacted 238U from the bomb casing. Plutonium emits extremely weak x rays at 4, 8, and 14keV. To detect that you need a large and thin scintillating material with a beryllium foil window. The smoking gun detector for pu239 is a neutron energy detector, but these are fairly complicated and require a helium 3 proportional tube. The Native Americans feel the Aborigines pain, their reservations were used as nuke testing grounds as well. Terrible.and awful 😖

Thoughtful, in-depth, powerful and even heart-breaking at times! Well done on this dark chapter of our home.

A small correction: A critical mass is one in which the population of successive neutron generations remains constant. A supercritical mass is one in which the number of free neutrons grows over time (i.e., the average free neutron will liberate more than one neutron).

Couple of important things you missed. They also tested nuclear radiation on Australian Troops, getting them to walk around the detonation sight without any protective gear shortly after the detonation. Survivors have been seeking compensation ever since, unsuccessfully, as far as I know, because Aus government at the time gave the UK some kind of legal immunity. The US cutting intelligence ties with the UK and AUS around this time because of spies in UK and aus was just a convenient excuse or the result of incompetence and miscommunication with the US: the US had a huge USSR leak from their own circles going on that they knew about that they allowed to continue throughout this time. This is all covered in the excellent book "Secret" by Australian journalist Brian Toohey. It's important to understand this history now that Au is entering into new secret agreements with a new great power via AUKUS.

Going from seeing Toby be loud, smart, extremely agile and energetic to these ASMR type videos is a whiplash. I’m here for it tho!

Thank you so much for getting this story out to a wider audience. I am acquainted with several tribal people of this region who were severely and adversely affected by these nuclear tests. There was a lot of deliberate misinformation saying that all of the tribal people were removed from this area prior to testing and that was absolutely not the case. The people responsible for poisoning the land, poisoning the people and displacing hundreds of the traditional owners of this land is a grave offence and nobody has ever had to stand in court and take responsibility for the terrible consequences of their actions.

Informative video! I grew up in Australia and knew nothing about any of this.

During the Vietnam war, which Australia had to be involved in because of a security pact with the US, researchers wanted to see how effective a nuclear blast would be at clearing dense rainforest coverage. Australian scientists gathered together a huge amount of explosives, enough to be the equivalent of a nuclear blast, and blew up a huge area of rainforest in the far north of Queensland. Amazingly, the blast wasn't very effective at all. The forest was just too dense. This is one of the reasons why Agent Orange was used so intensively (it caused the trees to drop their leaves and die, meaning enemy soldiers couldn't hide as easily).

Fungi can kinda assimilate radioactive waste but what happens inside of a mycel won't be understood yet. So if some "badland" gets drilled holes filled with compost and specific fungi (like some specimen liking heavy metal), this can reduce the healing process by a factor of 5 or more, but that would still be many hundred years. Just for anybody reforestating there.

Small addition: in order for fission to work the neutrons have to be slowed down (or moderated). Relatively speaking neutrons go from a good fraction of the speed of light to about the speed of sound before fission happens, so are at low speed.

I had never head of these events before. So sad Australia was abused this way; shame !!!
