Operation Hurricane - TOP SECRET

Following research at the National Archives, LABRATS obtained a TOP SECRET report on Operation Hurricane, stamped 17th October 1952.

No aminals were used for the test, just a few rats suffering from radiation sickness were found.

However a few casualties arose from accidents at the tests, but they are not connected with the nature of the test.

Congratulations to everyone involved, but do not mention:

• PRECISE TIME OF EXPLOSION

• DETAILS OF WEAPON

• POWER OF WEAPON

• AREAS OF CONTAMINATION

• EXACT AMOUNT OF WATER THROWN UP

• AREA, DEPTH AND NATURE OF CRATER

• DETAILS OF "TIDAL" WAVE

• ANYTHING ELSE CONNECTED WITH INTELLIGENCE SURVEYS SUCH AS DUST COLLECTION, AIR SAMPLING OR CLOUD TRACING.

Questions relating to concrete and the cost of the fitting out of Ships of the Special Squadron were also raised.

Approximately one million pounds to fit our the ships of the Special Squadron. According to the Bank of England (https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator) this equates to £23,371,460.68 as of March 2023.

Conclusion

The cover-up of the extent of the tests started in October 1952, the Admiralty was happy to mention the success, and congratulate people but do not mention any contamination, weapon details, sampling or anything connected with intelligence surveys.

It was like a sketch of Fawlty Towers 'Don't Mention the War. I did, but I think I got away with it!'

We know that the Australian government was lied to by the British Government, we know that UK/US relations were strained, we know the tests cost millions of pounds, contaminated the world forever and changed the lives of the participants and those of their families for many generations. Yet the UK Government rely on 4 self-published studies which meet their narrative. More information will be released by LABRATS over the coming weeks on Operation Hurricane, including the loss of life and the cover stories.

Thank you to our anonymous researcher who is taking the time to visit the National Archives and look through these files, your help is very much appreciated.
