The bomb tower has the task the atom bomb for the purpose of the investigation of its destructive effects (on burst height and distance with given explosive yield to depend) and for the adjustment of measuring instruments to hold like high-speed cameras in an accurately defined position. The bomb tower evaporates with the explosion of the atom bomb by the enormous heat of the bomb (up to 20 million degree) as a rule completely.
