Atomic tackle have designed a special range of leads for Morocco Carp that will blend in perfectly with the red sandstone bottom of the lake. The leads will be available in 5 types and in 4 sizes, 3-6oz.

I have no idea how this page came about. It just appeared. I had a story to tell but where that story cam from is anobody's business.
It only took four months but I finally cleaned these up and clearcoated them (we won't use them for food).
Solid copper with brass handles.
Cleaning copper is easy if you mix lemon juice with salt and just rub with paper towels or a cloth - no expensive polishes needed!

We visited the Atomic Testing Museum wich is in the Frank H. Rogers Science and Technology Building, Las Vegas Nevada. This is the only area where photography is permitted - it is an extensive museum, primarily devoted to Nevada National Security Site (also known as Nevada Test Site).
"Between 1951 and 1992, there were a total of 928 announced nuclear tests at Nevada Test Site. Of those, 828 were underground."
(While this museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian - and presumably the US government, photography was permitted in only a very limited area, I would guess for security and also publicity reasons.) It seems tho me that that such a museum should be open access - but it's not.

From Wikipedia...."The M65 Atomic Cannon, often called Atomic Annie, was a towed artillery piece built by the United States and capable of firing a nuclear device. It was developed in the early 1950s and fielded by 1953 in the European and Korean theaters."

Soldiers who were selected to sit in a trench and wait for an atomic blast and then advance towards the crater as quick as possible. Studies were conducted to see how men on the battlefield would react mentally to an atomic blast.
What if it were a Hydrogen Bomb ... would that be more terrible? Will it happen to us during our life-time?

The Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park:
The atomic bomb exploded at a height of 600 meters, 160 meters to the southeast of the Atomic Bomb Dome. At the time, the building was the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. At the moment of detonation, the blast exerted 35 tons of pressure per square meter and created a fierce wind speed of 440 meters per second. The building absorbed the powerful explosion and heat, and burst into flames. Because the impact of the blast came almost directly overhead, curiously the thick outer walls and the steel dome escaped complete destruction. However, the people who were inside at the time died instantly and the interior of the building was completely gutted by fire. The building with its exposed steel dome began to be referred to as the "Atomic Bomb Dome".

In April 1957, owners of the '57 Chevrolet could brag about their car's tailfins. Equally futuristic is this Popular Mechanics concept of an atomic airplane.

Driving in the car, I came across this great sunset! I used my iPhone 5 from the car window to get this photo of what looks like an atomic bomb explosion!
This is a competition entry! I would be soooo grateful if you took a couple of seconds to vote for me by "liking" this facebook post: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150330890598688&set...

原爆ドーム、広島
Genbaku Dome (Atomic Bomb Dome) at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima.
(I'm using my new year break to finally upload the non-cellphone photos from my Japan honeymoon).
Hiroshima Peace Memorial, commonly called the Atomic Bomb Dome or A-Bomb Dome, in Hiroshima, Japan, is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The ruin serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation.
The building was designed by the Czech architect Jan Letzel. It was completed in April 1915 and was named the Hiroshima Prefectural Commercial Exhibition (HMI). It was opened formally to the public in August that year. In 1921 the name was changed to the Hiroshima Prefectural Products Exhibition Hall, and again in 1933, to the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. The dome atop the building had an elliptical planform.
At 8:15 on August 6, 1945, Little Boy — the first atomic bomb to be used in war — detonated almost directly above the dome. The building's vertical columns were able to resist the nearly vertical downward force of the blast, and so at least some of the building managed to stay intact. The center of the blast was displaced 490 feet (150 m) horizontally and 1,968 feet (600 m) vertically from the dome, having slightly missed the original target (the distinctive "T"-shaped Aioi Bridge). Everyone inside the building was killed instantly.
The Genbaku Dome, originally close to Shima Surgical Clinic was initially scheduled to be demolished with the rest of the ruins, but the fact that it mostly was intact delayed these plans. As Hiroshima was rebuilt around the dome, it became a subject of controversy — some locals wanted it torn down, while others wanted to preserve it as a memorial of the bombing.
In 1966 Hiroshima City declared that it intended to preserve the structure indefinitely. Funds were sought locally and internationally. As of July 2011, the A-Bomb Dome has undergone two minor preservation projects to stabilize the ruin. In December 1996 the A-Bomb Dome was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List based on the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. China had reservations regarding the confirmation of the memorial as a World Heritage Site and the delegate of the United States to the World Heritage Committee dissociated himself from the decision. China cited the possibility that the monument could be used to downplay the fact that the victim countries of Japan's aggression suffered the greatest losses of life during the war, while the United States asserted that having a memorial to a war site would omit the necessary historical context.

The WE 177 was the last air-dropped nuclear bomb of the British Armed Forces. The WE 177 was a family of British parachute-retarded or free fall nuclear weapons with three distinct versions-A, B, or C. The "A" version was a boosted fission weapon, while the "B" and "C" versions were thermonuclear weapons. The WE 177 was developed to provide a tactical, low-level delivery capability to the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. The "B" version, however, was deployed initially in 1966, on Vulcan aircraft of the RAFV-Bomber force as part of British strategic nuclear deterrent. WE 177s eventually replaced the older Yellow Sun Mark 2 and Red Beard weapons in the British inventory. The weapon on exhibit is a WE 177 Training Round representative of the "B" or "C" version of the bomb. The principal difference between the two is that the warhead yield of the "B" was considerably higher. The much lower yield "A" version was shorter and also could be deployed as a nuclear depth bomb. There were a large number of components that were to common to all versions. Most UK strike aircraft during the period 1966-1998 could deliver all WE 177 versions. WE 177A, in its role as a depth bomb, also could be delivered by most UK naval helicopters from 1971 to 1991 when that capability was withdrawn.
