This film (unfortunately we're uncertain of the exact title) was filmed in 1953 at the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada site, known as Yucca Flats. This atomic test, part of the AEC's developmental series, shows "Survival City" which was built by the Army for Operation Cue. The goal of the test was to observe how houses, shelters, power lines, a radio tower, metal buildings, food, clothing, and actual people would survive at various distances away from a nuclear blast. Mannequins sourced from J. C. Penney, populated the city. The point of this particular film was that atomic blast was survivable with protection -- such as a fallout shelter. Just a few years after this film was made the Hydrogen Bomb made the odds of survival infinitely less.
