Kodak detected the first atomic bomb before anyone else figured it out. Then they made a deal not to tell anyone. Thanks to HBO Max, and their new show raised by Wolves for sponsoring this video! rb.gy/alghwn

7:00 The US government, agreeing to provide Kodak, with advance warning of upcoming nuclear tests, answers a question that has circulated within our family for decades. My paternal grandfather worked at Kodak, in Toronto, Ontario, for over 40 years, retiring in 1967. Although the tests were officially secret, Kodak Canada somehow received notice of impending blasts. The workers were instructed to place large sheets of lead over the sheets of photographic X-ray film. The film was protected, by this means. If the lead sheets were not placed, the radiation would get trapped in the morning dew, on the roof of the Kodak factory, and then pass through six concrete floors and damage the film. If this process was not followed, the film had to be discarded.

eddyk well, logically it would be fair to assume you meant their birth would be close to ww2, that they were born just after ww2. But your comment is supposed to be a trick question because you’re trying to get someone to say “very old.” It’s actually quite dumb linguistically. When you mention ww2 you are referencing that time period according to your next statement as if they correlate in a similar sense. Technically, we’ve all been born after the titanic sank. But that statement is super redundant unless I’m referencing someone who was born right after the titanic sank and that is a significant part of their birth story.

As a child in Calgary I noted an article in Time or News Week that gave a map of the radio active fallout plumes from Soviet tests in the Arctic island of Nova Zemla. It also left out any data for Canada. It interestingly showed high levels in Alaska (no surprise) and about 1/2 the level in Montana. Note this pattern flowed into the Yukon and Northwest Territories then turned south along the East front of the Rocky Mountains toward Montana while spreading out Eastwards. My conclusion as an 8 year old was infuriation that the Canadian Goverment in Ottawa was lying to us in Alberta and the milk I was drinking was contaminated. In 1960 at age 10 I moved to Brisbane Queensland so I was only further contaminated in a much much lesser way by a very few French tests in the South Pacific which had to travel around 5/6ths of the planet to reach our Queensland coastal pastures. The map from this video shows that I was also exposed to flow North along the Rocky Mountain Front of contamination from U.S. tests in the 50s Well fingers crossed -- so far -- cancer free in my 72nd winter.

Pietje Puk both are true, because the Atoms had to be forged(nuclear fusion) in a stars core... the higher elements are fused when stars go Nova or Super Nova, because higher energy is needed...massive stars stop at Iron fusion cause it is the tipping point in energy produced to energy needed to fuse...(thats why the reverse is true for nuclear fission, larger elements are more unstable and thus need less energy to “split” and release energy, E=mc^2 use it for fission and fusion) then they implode in a super nova and form either a neutron star or most likely a black hole because a star of great mass is needed to fuse Iron...

As a biologist and just watching the video I think we should be jealous of the organism called Deinococcus radiodurans. This bacterium is able to completely repair its shattered chromosomes after being exposed to high levels of radiation (which cause DNA breaks). While humans experience neurological damages after being exposed to radiation of roughly 30 Gy, D. radiodurans can survive over 10000 Gy, since it is able to very effectively connected fragmented DNA (I'm just making a video about human DNA repair systems). Great video so far!

I also want to mention the low-background steel. As modern steel is processed using atmospheric air, any steel produced after the testing has significant amount of contamination from radionuclides. However, steel made before Trinity doesn't and therefore has got an application in radiation sensitive equipments such as Geiger counters. This type of steel is usually salvaged from ships that sunk before 1945. There is a Wikipedia article about this with some references at the bottom, and you can probably find more info on the internet.

Underground tests were left out of the 1963 Test Ban Treaty for a couple of reasons - first because the countries with nuclear deterrence did not want to completely give that up, and second because of the difficulty of detecting and characterizing underground tests, leaving a ban on underground tests unenforceable. The development of Fast Fourier Transforms for signal processing means that, today, we can detect and characterize such explosions.

"Time Travel was never possible, that is, until massive amounts of Stronium-90 were seeded all over the continental united states in the time around 1950-1960, but thanks to thousands of tests by the then-United states of America, we can freely hope to and fro without much effort, although I'm to too sure about causality, it's never been safer, while jumping to past eras is like jumping off a cliff blindfolded, you might land in many of the pools, or you might hit solid ground" You could have the explanation that they're detecting Strontium-90 through time and that's how they get the 4th Dimensional coordinates that also likely use the quantum entanglement features of those isotopes, it found in this sci-fi future that quantum entaglement works across time as well as space.

the fact that it lies in the bones does not mean you have to cut them open to detect it, just like when we want to stop fever we're not removing your kidneys in order to achieve this goal. it can be detected because it emits specific particles (which can go through the tissues and out of the body)

Just pointing out an apparent error. At 2:36 Derek mentions "a batch manufactured on August 06, 1945 started to cause spots to appear on the X-ray film." Since it is unlikely that the spots were cause by the Hiroshima bomb, I think he meant to say "a batch manufactured on July 16,1945".

I had the same thought, assuming something about layers of lead and time-delays for sealing the exposed film with more lead until they could be handled and developed.
