“These are photographs of the first few milliseconds of nuclear explosions. They lead scientists to several new discoveries as to how nuclear bombs worked. But how do you capture the first millisecond of a nuclear bomb? With several rapatronic cameras, a Kerr cell, and a little physics.”

I woul;d have thought that almost nothing nuclear, but just the conventional explosives doing their compression thing of the nuclear material.
