Until now, the team has located around 6,500 of the estimated 10,000 films created during atmospheric above-ground testing.
The first set of 64 videos is now available onYouTube.
Spriggs said when they got their hands on the film they could smell it wasting away.
It is made of nitrate cellulose, an organic material that, when decomposes, smells like vinegar.
Theyre made out of organic material, and organic material decomposes.

We got to this project just in time to save the data.

The public can now watch some of these declassified films on theLLNLs YouTube playlist.
