Area 16
Comes Airforcemanagement saying that there were seven, not six tests in area 16. I see the following:

Flintlock/Double Play, 15 Jun 1956, location U16a.03

Nougat/Marshmallow, 28 Jun 1962, location U16a

Whetstone/Gumdrop, 21 Apr 1965, location U16a.02

Bowline/Ming Vase, 20 Nov 1968, location U16a.04

Mandrel/Diamond Dust, 12 May 1970, location U16a.05

Grommet/Diamond Mine, 1 Jul 1971, location U16a.06

They were all in the U16a tunnel complex, in horizontal drifts. There is a U16b complex, but it was dug only for use with the non-nuclear test "Divine Strake", which was ultimately canceled.

If there was another test I am unaware of, please write in the name and date. Change reverted. SkoreKeep (talk) 10:37, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Did the atomic tests at the Nevada site generate EMPS?
With 100 above-ground atomic blasts, did anyone report electronic damage due to EMPs in Las Vegas or elsewhere? TigeyPuss (talk) 19:08, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

View inside the fissure and details of what happened to witnesses during the explosion?
On the one hand I'm worried that the nuclear bombs may have literally cracked the Earth to its core. Has anyone ever sent a drone or some other kind of camera down the fissures to inspect the extent of the damage?

On the other, I'm looking at the soldiers witnessing the blast from 10 kilometres away and to my experience with a relatively "simple" explosion of a fireworks factory here in Enschede, the windows shook at four kilometres away and people inside their rooms complained of their chests being compressed. If a simple explosion of a couple of hundred kilos of consumer and prosumer fireworks would do such a thing, an atomic bomb of over 10.000 kilos will do a lot more. I don't think 10 kilometres is a safe distance.

Officially, by United States law, the files should by now probably be public. Can anyone dig into this? Emilehobo (talk) 15:56, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
