From the May 16. 1955 story VICTIMS AT YUCCA FLAT—Mannequins explain varied effects of atomic blast. According to LIFE,“A day after the 44th nuclear test explosion in the U.
S. rent the still Nevada air final week, observers cautiously inspected department store mannequins which were poised disheveled but still haughty (proud, arrogant) on the sands and in the homes of Yucca Flat. The figures were residents of an entire million-dollar village built to test the effects of an atomic blast on everything from houses to clothes to canned soup.” (Loomis Dean—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #1950s #Nevada #mannequins
