DescriptionUpshot-Knothole Simon 005.jpg | April 25, 1953 - SIMON Event - Army combat troops crouched in foxholes during the atomic detonation of April 25, 1953 on the AEC's Nevada Proving Grounds. The above shot used only the illumination from a nuclear device. Immediately after taking the photograph the Army photographer was required to duck into the foxhole in order to avoid injury from the nuclear blast which arrived at the above area several seconds later. These troops are part of the approximately 20,000 military personnel who participated in the 1953 Spring maneuver, Exercise Desert Rock V. | ||||
