The 1951 Shot Uncle of Operation Buster-Jangle, had a yield about a tenth of the 13 to 16 Kt Hiroshima bomb, 1.2 Kt, [193] and was detonated 5.2 m (17 ft) beneath ground level. [194] No thermal flash of heat energy was emitted to the surroundings in this shallow buried test. [193] The explosion resulted in a cloud that rose to 3.5 km (11,500 ft ...
