Attempt to dispel many common myths and fallacies about radioactive fallout. a Fallout is the residual radiation hazard from a nuclear explosion, so named because it "falls out" of the atmosphere into which it is spread during the explosion. It commonly refers to the radioactive dust created when a nuclear weapon explodes. This radioactive dust, consisting of hot particles, is a kind of radioactive contamination. It can lead to contamination of the food chain. Fallout can also refer to the dust or debris that results from the nuclear explosion. Producer: Wilding Picture Productions, Inc.

Castle Bravo was the code name given to the first U.S. test of a so-called dry fuel thermonuclear (fusion- rather than fission-based) device, detonated on March 1, 1954 at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, by the United States, as the first test of Operation Castle (a longer series of tests of various devices). Unexpected fallout from the detonation—intended to be a secret test—poisoned the crew of Daigo Fukuryū Maru ("Lucky Dragon No. 5"), a Japanese fishing boat, and created international concern about atmospheric thermonuclear testing.he bomb used lithium deuteride fuel for the fusion stage, unlike the cryogenic liquid deuterium used as fuel for the fusion stage of the U.S. first-generation Ivy Mike device, which, being the size of a small office building, was an impracticable weapon for use at war. The bomb tested at Castle Bravo was the first practical deliverable fusion bomb in the U.S. arsenal. The Soviet Union had previously used lithium deuteride in a nuclear bomb, their Sloika (also known as Alarm Clock) design, but since it relied on using the initial fission explosion to compress, inertially confine, and ignite the fusion fuel, its yield was limited (400 kt) in comparison to the Teller-Ulam-based Ivy Mike (10.4 Mt) and Castle Bravo (~15 Mt). Mike and Bravo both used the Teller-Ulam design, which featured separation of the fusion device from the fission device, and used radiation pressure (or probably radiation-induced ablation of the heavy tamper surrounding the fusion device) to produce staged-radiation implosion and fusion ignition of a much greater magnitude. After a few years, the Soviets, led by Andrei Sakharov, independently developed (Sakharov's Third Idea) and tested (RDS-37) their first Teller-Ulam device in 1956. Castle Bravo was the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the United States, with a yield of 15 megatons. That yield, far exceeding the expected yield of 4 to 8 megatons, combined with other factors to produce the worst radiological accident ever caused by the United States. Though some 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bombs which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, it was considerably smaller than the largest nuclear test conducted by the Soviet Union several years later, the ~50 Mt Tsar Bomba.

This is a Movie about the John F. Kennedy assassination. The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 p.m. CST (18:30 UTC). John F. Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding with his wife Jacqueline in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza. That Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza, was the conclusion of multiple government investigations, including the ten-month investigation of the Warren Commission of 1963-1964 and the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) of 1976-1979. This conclusion initially met with widespread support among the American public, but polls, since the original 1966 Gallup poll, show a majority of the public hold beliefs contrary to these findings.[1][2] The assassination is still the subject of widespread speculation and has spawned numerous conspiracy theories (even the HSCA, based on disputed acoustical evidence, concluded that Oswald may have had unspecified co-conspirators), though none of these theories have been proven.

Dwight David Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 -- March 28, 1969) was an American General and politician, who served as the thirty-fourth President of the United States (1953--1961). During the Second World War, he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, with responsibility for planning and supervising the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944-45. In 1951, he became the first supreme commander of NATO.[1] As a Republican, he was elected the 34th U.S. President, serving for two terms. As President, he ended the Korean War, kept up the pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, made nuclear weapons a higher defence priority, launched the Space Race, enlarged the Social Security program, and began the Interstate Highway System.

The inaugural address of John F. Kennedy was the only inaugural address ever delivered by U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy made the speech during inaugural ceremonies on January 20, 1961, immediately after Chief Justice Earl Warren had sworn Kennedy in. The address is 1364 words and took 13 minutes and 59 seconds to deliver, from the first word to the last word, not including applause at the end, making it the fourth-shortest inaugural address ever delivered. Notable Passages * "The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life." * "Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate." * "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country" * "For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed." * "Let both sides... bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations."

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation during the Cold War between the United States, the Soviet Union, and Cuba. This crisis is generally regarded as the moment when the Cold War came closest to escalating into a nuclear war. Russians refer to the event as the "Caribbean Crisis," while Cubans refer to it as the "October Crisis." The crisis began on October 14, 1962, when U.S. reconnaissance imagery revealed similar installations being installed in Cuba, as a response to the American threat. These photographs were shown to U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Some days later after a dramatic confrontation that threatened world peace, on October 28, 1962, Kennedy and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev, with the intercession of the Secretary General of the United Nations, agreed that both sides would dismantle their installations. The event coincided with the Sino-Indian War, which began on the same date that the US declared its quarantine on Cuba. Historians speculate the Chinese attack on disputed territory in India was timed to occur at the same time as the Cuban Missile Crisis.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 -- November 22, 1963), also referred to as John F. Kennedy, Jack Kennedy or JFK, was the thirty-fifth President of the United States. In 1960 he became the youngest person ever to be elected as President of the United States, and the second youngest, after Theodore Roosevelt, to serve. Kennedy served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. The Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the American Civil Rights Movement and early events of the Vietnam War took place during his presidency. Kennedy's leadership as commander of USS PT-109 during Second World War in the South Pacific, in which he swam with an injured shipmate to a nearby island after his ship had been split in two by a Japanese gunboat attack, turned his sights toward public service. Kennedy represented the state of Massachusetts as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 and in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until his inauguration in 1961. Kennedy, 43, the Democratic candidate in the 1960 presidential election, defeated Republican candidate Richard Nixon, 47, in one of the closest presidential elections in American history. Though the youngest person ever elected U.S. president, he was not the youngest ever to hold the office. In 1901, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, age 42, was elevated to the post following the assassination of President William McKinley. Kennedy is the most recent of elected U.S. presidents from outside the Sun Belt, and also the most recent to be elected while serving in the Senate. He is, to date, the only practicing Roman Catholic to be elected U.S president. He was also the first 20th century-born president. President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, United States. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime, but was himself murdered two days later by Jack Ruby before Oswald could be put on trial. The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald had acted alone in killing the president. However, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in 1979 that there may have been a conspiracy. The entire subject remains controversial, with multiple theories about the assassination still being debated. The assassination itself proved to be a defining moment in U.S. history due to its traumatic impact on the psyche of the nation and the ensuing political fallout, which continues to influence the temperament of American society. Many regarded President Kennedy as an icon of American hopes and aspirations; he continues to rate highly in public opinion rankings of former US presidents.

The United States presidential election of 1960 marked the end of Dwight D. Eisenhower's two terms as President. Eisenhower's Vice-President, Richard M. Nixon, who had transformed his office into a national political base, was the Republican (GOP) candidate. The Democrats nominated Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy (JFK). He was only the second Roman Catholic to become a major-party presidential candidate (the other was Democrat Al Smith in 1928). During the campaign, Kennedy charged that under Eisenhower and the Republicans America was falling behind the Soviet Union in the Cold War, both militarily and economically, and that as President he would "get America moving again". Nixon responded that, if elected, he would continue the "peace and prosperity" Eisenhower had brought the nation, and that with the nation engaged in the Cold War, Kennedy was too young and inexperienced to be trusted with the Presidency. The vote was the closest in any presidential election dating to 1916, and Kennedy's margin of victory in the popular vote is among the closest ever in American history. The 1960 election also remains a source of debate among some historians as to whether vote theft in selected states aided Kennedy's victory.

The Inside Source A key sequence of the movie has "Garrison" meeting "Mr. X" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. "X" then gives "Garrison" the inside "scoop" on how the worlds of intelligence, the Pentagon, and defense contractors arranged the murder of JFK. No such "inside source" talked to the real Jim Garrison during the Clay Shaw prosecution, but "Mr. X" is based on a real person: the late Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, a former Pentagon staffer. Someone with Prouty's background ought to know how government works, but Prouty has a long history of making wacky statements. For example, he believed that "The Umbrella Man" in Dealey Plaza was shooting a poison dart at JFK. He claimed that Korean airlines Flight 007 was downed by "an explosive device" planted aboard by the CIA — this in spite of the fact that the Soviets admitted to shooting down the plane! Where his statements aren't obviously wacky, they often diverge from the historical record, as when he discusses the origins of the Vietnam war. And he had a history of associations with unsavory political groups and crackpot cults. None of this prevents Stone from portraying "X" as a fount of truth.
