Emile > There are many members in that community that are sceptical of Israeli policies and would have gladly reported any aberrations in seismic data Quite apart from that, seismic information is universal today and any large nuclear explosion anywhere, like any earthquake, is immediately known by everyone. No, I have to agree that Israel doesn't do any testing -- that we know of. news.bbc.co.uk >>There is no evidence that Israel has ever carried out a nuclear test, but there is speculation that a suspected nuclear explosion in the southern Indian Ocean in 1979 was a joint Israeli-South African test. Post-apartheid South Africa has dismantled its nuclear weapons programme. << But, of course, it is conceivable that they may be able to do "micro testing", especially of non-explosive material like neutron bombs. Take 9/11, for example. There are people who believe that the explosions in the WTC were caused by nuclear (unconventional) devices. Those detonations were detected at the NY, Pallisades observatory at 2.1-2.3 on the Richter scale and were considered the equivalent of 70,000 tons of conventional explosive which is used frequently in quarry work. Clearly, such explosions would normally go undetected or else are not remarked on, even if detected.
