UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE - This operation conducted at the Nevada Test Site consisted of 11 atmospheric tests. There were three airdrops, seven tower tests, and one airburst. Conducted between March 17 and June 4, 1953, this operation involved the testing of new theories, using both fission and fusion devices.

While you were away: The world got creepier

Contributers to this Nuke Blog have been busy. Eric had a baby in late march and Justin got a new job in late June.

Meanwhile...well you know.

North Korea Launches misiles.
The peaceniks at the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation repeat their particular Nuke Age Mantra of "double standards," on their new blog.

Which leads me to plug the radio show Nuclear Ambitions and Double Standards which Justin and I produced along with Free Speech Radio News' Leigh Anne Caldwell.

Humankind has lived with the specter of nuclear war for more than 60 years. Despite the end of the Cold War, tens of thousands of nuclear weapons still threaten our entire existence, and some say the danger a nuclear conflict has never been greater than it is today.

On this edition, we'll look at the recent nuclear power deal between the United States and India, which critics say could spark a nuclear arms race in South Asia. We'll hear from top scientists who are speaking out against the Bush administration's policy on using nuclear weapons, and find out what the mainstream media is saying about a run-up to a possible US attack on Iran.
