The Buster-Jangle Sugar shot was conducted on November 19, 1951, at the Nevada Test Site.
It was a surface burst nuclear test with a yield of 1.2 kilotons of TNT.
The test aimed to study the effects of a surface-level nuclear detonation, including crater formation and radioactive fallout.
It resulted in a crater measuring 21 feet deep and 90 feet wide.
The explosion produced intense local fallout, with radiation levels reaching 5,000 R/hr at ground zero.
Its findings underscored the severe radiological hazards of surface bursts.
The data collected influenced future weapons design and improved safety protocols for nuclear operations.
