atomic bombs test at seven seas
 

hi,

where I find a locator where demented criminals test her atomic toys ?
I remenber Bikini islands are a famous site but exist many others... also the
gps data where rusian satelite with atomic material sunk...
is dangerous sailing in this radioctives places ?
bye!

Recently? I'm unaware of any atmospheric nuclear testing since the late 60s
or 70s. There were some subterranean tests conducted in the years
following, but none recently, I believe. Does anyone know if Pakistan or
India has done any above or below ground testing in recent years? Or the
PRC?

The Soviet Union tested over land within their own borders at the same time
the US was testing underground. Not sure where, though.

Probably no more dangerous than sailing over the places where subs with
nuclear reactors (Thresher, Scorpion, several Russian subs) have sunk. Not
sure I'd want to linger there, but probably not unsafe to sail over such
wrecks. Sorry, I don't know where the coordinates for the satellite might
be found.

If motorcycling through the Ukraine, you may wish to avoid Chernobyl,
though. g

The US Navy dumped approximately 50,000 55-gallon drums of radioactive
waste just off the Farallons over the years. Some of the drums wouldn't
sink, so they used them as target practice.


How nice. Perhaps that's why SF Bay remains relatively "warm" throughout
most of the year. g

Maybe he wants the coordinates so he can go on a plutonium gathering
excursion...


You noticed, no doubt, that I didn't give him any.

It is widely acknowledged that the Israeli's and South Africans
collaberated on this. Time magasine reported this. I think it was
1978.

It is not true that it was not detected by satelite. How do you think
it was discovered?

The question I have is this. How did this atmospheric test impact
the hole in the ozone layer over the south pole?

As I recall the event, the suspicion at the time was that the device was
Israeli and that they may have had South African logistical support.
I don't recall that anyone participating ever admitted that it even took
place.
The explosion was located and timed so as to be out of range of orbiting
monitoring devices.

Dunceboy, South Africa did an atmospheric test in the Indian Ocean in

the
late 1980's.

It was detected by a Vela Satellite (a satellite series designed for
that purpose) on Sept 22, 1979. Data from a lot of other satellites
were scoured for additional information but at the time it was
considered inconclusive. The satellite I worked on would certainly have
noticed it, but it was on the other side of the Earth at the time ... or
so the story went ... it was very hush-hush at the time.

Happy New Year everyone!
