Atomic Tests Channel | 4K Ivy King Shot 500 Kilotons Nuclear Testing 1952 @Atomic_Tests_Channel | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
Ivy King was the largest pure-fission nuclear bomb ever tested by the United States.[1] The bomb was tested during the Truman administration as part of Operation Ivy. This series of tests involved the development of very powerful nuclear weapons in response to the nuclear weapons program of the Soviet Union.
The production of Ivy King was hurried to be ready in case its sister project, Ivy Mike, failed in its attempt to achieve a thermonuclear reaction. The Ivy King test actually took place two weeks after the Mike test. Unlike the Mike bomb, the Ivy King device could theoretically have been added to United States' nuclear arsenal, because it was designed to be air-deliverable.
