[edit] Fast fission

Where do I start? Scott 00:29:01, 2005-09-13 (UTC)

[edit] test dates

actual test dates w/ additional info such as bomb size, location, and time can be found @ http://www.ga.gov.au/oracle/nukexp_query.html i will try to add some of this info when i can. Somedude 07:27, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

ummm ... dude ... no it's not!

in just my first 30 seconds of looking at the australian geoscience site, i saw that the very first grapple test on 15 may 1957 was missing. kind of casts doubt on their reliability ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avaiki (talk • contribs) 11:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

... ooops scratch that .. had the order wrong - d'oh! but curious as to why no mention of yields - makes it less than complete as a record. avaiki 11:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why United States didn't test their atomic weapons in Africa in the 1950s and early 1960s?

United States was powerful and they could test their bombs anywhere they wanted in the West in the early years. Why did United States test their atomic weapons on their land and in the Pacific Ocean, and not in Africa? 216.13.88.86 22:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

It's a trick question. See Operation Argus. (sdsds - talk) 03:44, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, the reason is that nonaligned states (which comprise most of Africa) wouldn't want to become embroiled in the Cold War, and it would create a huge international furore if any nuclear power chose to conduct nuclear tests on the soil of a sovereign state and not one that was a direct dependency.
