I looking for a good photo from the Russian simulator for atomic detonation IU-59. I have only drawings from the simulator and the pyrotechnical charge (all together has a weight of 205 kg). The pyrotechnical charge (117,2 kg) contains a destruction charge (TNT) of 15,6 kg and a pyrotechnic component of 85 kg. When an air detonation is simulated, a fire ball is to see for approx. 2 seconds. Later a cloud is formed and after 15 sec. it reaches an altitude of 90 m. The safety distance for the imitation is minimum 200 m.
