Scientists have 'thrown' the atomic bomb into beer, soda and drank them

An atomic bomb explosion has the power to devastate everything around, tens of thousands of people must die immediately or become radioactive in the long run. But one thing is not ruined by the atomic bombs that are beer bottles, soda cans.

From 1945 until the end of the 1960s, the US government tested many of these nuclear explosions in the Nevada desert. There was a campaign called "Teapot Campaign", which detonated 14 atomic bombs to test new designs and effects and also tried beer and soda (both Is it possible to "survive" in bottles and cans?

Two atomic bombs were detonated with an energy level equivalent to 20 and 30 kiloton TNT at a test site in Nevada. Bottles and cans of beer and soft drinks have been placed in various locations from where the bomb was detonated, the nearest place is only 322 meters away from the bomb. Some are buried in the ground, some are still in the same direction, some are placed side by side.

The results were surprising to the researchers, the cans and bottles of beer near the explosion were slightly contaminated but they still determined that they were completely drinkable, at least in an emergency, required. The farther away from the explosion, the less affected beer and soda. Experts even tried to drink them, except for the cans and bottles of the location closest to the explosion.

This study is not about understanding the impact of atomic bombs on beer and soda but the main purpose is to study how a nuclear explosion produces a lot of radioactive dust (fallout phenomenon). But anyway it helps us know more interesting information that beer and soda are still drinkable even under the radioactive effects of atomic nuclear bombs.
