Visit Visit our website This 1968 film produced by the Headquarters of the Civil Defense of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, a state in the USSR / Soviet Union, looks at the different types of damages caused by the explosion of a nuclear weapon. It looks at initial factors like the light flash and the shockwave caused by the explosion, followed by the actual destruction caused by the explosion, and its aftermath through radioactive fallout. It does this with detailed diagrams interjected with footage of nuclear bombs exploding. It concludes with the importance of underground fallout shelters for civil defense as the best way to minimize the damage caused by most of these factors. 0:08 by the orders of the Headquarters of the Civil Defense of the Moldavian SSR, Moldova Film 1968, 0:24 a bomber aircraft dropping a nuclear bomb which explodes, 0:53 “Four Affecting Factors of Nuclear Weapons”, 1:00 animation showing how different nuclear bombs are brought to explode, 1:16 different delivery methods including rockets, bombs, torpedoes, and munitions, 2:12 a nuclear bomb exploding followed by footage of destruction on the ground, 2:30 animation showing TNT equivalents and building sizes for a nuclear bomb, 2:53 different type of nuclear explosions in the air, underground, on the surface, or underwater, 3:18 animations showing the epicenter of an explosion, 3:38 graph showing the different damage factors of a nuclear weapon, 4:01 a nuclear bomb exploding on the ground, 4:14 footage and animated explanations of the shockwave after a nuclear explosion, 5:24 footage and animations of the damage done by seismic waves on the ground and underwater and at various distances, 6:44 footage of structures that soften the shockwave of an explosion including buildings, forests, and terrain, 7:20 people seeking shelter in underground shelters, 7:36 “Light Radiation”, 7:37 different nuclear bomb explosions, 8:10 different examples of charring and burning buildings after a nuclear explosion, 8:56 diagram with the degree of burns caused depending on distance to epicenter, 9:16 diagram of people lying down, 9:32 “Penetrating Radiation”, 9:44 animation of gamma rays emerging from a mushroom cloud, 9:59 diagram of dose of radiation by distance, 11:23 diagram of how far radiation passes through different materials, 12:24 a nuclear explosion, 12:56 diagram showing how fallout is spread, 13:30 diagram of a man fishing comparing the effects of different doses of radiation, 14:13 a man in protective equipment walking with a Geiger counter, 14:25 members of the civil defense formation putting on gas masks and protective equipment, 14:46 diagram with how contaminated zones are divided into different danger levels depending on degree of radiation, 15:34 a nuclear shelter in a mine, 15:52 people sitting in a fallout shelter, 16:31 summary animation showing the different factors of danger, 17:10 diagram with the destruction caused in four zones, 17:29 diagram of a mushroom cloud followed by completely destroyed buildings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 17:49 diagram and footage from the zone of severe destruction, 18:32 diagram and footage from the zone of medium destruction, 18:56 diagram and footage from the zone of weak destruction, 19:35 animation showing how the radius of a nuclear expands with an increase of the weapons’ kilotons, 20:14 diagrams of a man caught in the explosion, 20:33 doors to fallout shelters closing, 20:47 subway stations, mineshafts, and other underground shelters, 21:14 a nuclear bomb exploding, 21:27 apartment buildings We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
