- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: informative and cautionary; themes: nuclear explosion effects, public safety education; style notes: Uses simple, static shots of model props and graphic illustrations with bright, even lighting to clearly demonstrate effects.
The beat explains the two dangers of nuclear explosions: heat and blast, followed by fallout. Visuals show a model house being damaged and a stylized explosion graphic.

The record
Crown copyright, not a US Government work. Made 1975–76 by Richard Taylor Cartoons for the Central Office of Information and the Home Office; first shown publicly in 1980. 17 U.S.C. 105 covers only works of the United States Government, so Public Reel's registry rules do not clear this film. The Imperial War Museum reproduces the series as © Crown copyright under delegated authority. The Archive uploads carry an uploader's public-domain mark, which is a claim, not a licence. The atlas indexes it because the series is a landmark of government public information film; the video stays on the Archive. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
