Abstract
A method of photographing the early phases of atomic explosions by the use of the Faraday shutter is described. A 10-ft focal length Newtonian telescope was used to give a large image with the camera at approximately 7 miles from the explosion. Two photographs of very early phases of atomic explosions in metal shelters are shown. A 1-μsec Rapatronic (Faraday) shutter was triggered when the light intensity reached a value where a photograph would be exposed.
