Joe 1
• It was built outside of Chelyabinsk in 1948.
• They used 1,500 animals to test the effect’s it had on life.
• Once the confirmation was true that the soviet Union had Atomic Weapons the race was now to see who could build the first hydrogen bomb

The Hydrogen Bomb• First tested thermonuclear bomb.• Nicknamed “Operation Ivy Mike” • First hydrogen bomb dropped.• Had 10.4 Megaton explosive power
which is 500 times more destructive than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki.
• Tested on Elugelab Island, Completely destroyed the island leaving an underwater crater 6,240 feet wide by 164 feet deep.

What if Freeport was nuked?
This is the effect that Joe 4 would have on an area as big
as Freeport. In comparison Ivy was a 10. 4 megaton
bomb compared to the 400
Kiloton of Joe 4. Which is 1/24 of the power of Ivy
Mike. So you can see the pure
destruction that it would have on an area such as
Freeport.

Fear Anticipates!
• The American people become frightened to extreme measures and begin building fallout shelters.• With Soviet testing of high powered
nukes fear becomes a reality for many so investment’s in fallout shelters seem like a good idea to most.

Fear Reached
• A ad with a picture of a fallout shelter spreading fear in eyes of Americans everywhere showing that maybe they should invest in a fallout shelter before there is a Communist takeover.
• Everyone knew if there was to be a war that the world could quickly come to an end at this point due to a nuclear holocaust.
