Forget GW .... GTW is the real deal !! .. .. .. .. .. .. GTW = Global Thermonuclear War And we've already had one !! We did it to ourselves .. The good ole USA conducted 331 atmospheric tests of various devices of various yields from 1942 - 1963 and 828 underground tests in Nevada from 1951 - 1992 Tell me we're not screwed !! From an article in 2004 .. The Underground Test Area (UGTA) Project contains deep underground radioactive contamination in the groundwater “resulting from past underground nuclear testing conducted in vertical shafts and tunnels on the NTS…From 1951 to 1992, 828 underground nuclear tests were conducted at the NTS.” Underground testing was limited to the Pahute Mesa, Rainier Mesa/Shoeshone Mountain, Frenchman Flat, and Yucca Flat all parts of the NTS. “This testing resulted in 132 million curies of radioactivity in the subsurface of the NTS.” “Tritium is the primary contaminant of concern because of its mobility and abundance. Risks to human health are associated with the subsurface contamination via the groundwater pathway both on and off the NTS. Closure-in-place with monitoring is considered to be the only feasible corrective action because cost-effective groundwater technologies have not been developed to effectively remove or stabilize subsurface contaminants. The potential risk is to workers, the public and the environment. The UGTA activities addressing (the site) are the highest priority with the State regulator due to the limited availability of water resources within the State.” Source: nv.doe.gov If you've never seen it .. Get a copy of "Trinity & Beyond" on DVD .. And don't forget the "tests" from the British, French, Russians, Chinese, Indians etc .. It doesn't matter that they weren't dropped in anger or on population centers .. the damage has been done .. Triff ..
