Iran has strongly condemned the US for carrying out a nuclear test in Nevada this week, saying the move threatens world peace and shows a hypocritical set of double standards set by Washington when it comes to nuclear research.

­The Iranian Foreign Ministry said the Wednesday detonation proves that US foreign policy relies heavily on the use of nuclear weapons, disregarding UN calls for global disarmament, PressTV reports.

The experiment also drew criticism from Japan, with Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui wondering why the Obama administration carried out the test, despite saying he would “seek a nuclear-free world.”

The test proves that the US “could use nuclear weapons anytime,” said Hirotami Yamada, who heads the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Survivors Council.

On Friday it was announced that the Nevada National Security Site had successfully detonated plutonium in a deep shaft Wednesday to test the safety and effectiveness of US nuclear weapons, National Nuclear Security Administration officials said.

it was a chemical explosion that they used to
blow up some plutonium in order to make a nuklear bomb explosion.

Aaah no. Quote, "They use chemical explosives to blow up bits of nuclear materials designed to stop just short of erupting into a nuclear chain reaction, also known as a criticality."

No chain reactions here. No nuclear reactions nor nuclear explosions.

where national security is involved anything is justified.

You can't hug them when you are dis-armed either!

oh. i forgot: that was an official government spokesman.
right. got it.

yer well national security is owned by big corp in case you missed a meeting. This shit may just be the new " fracking" technique for those poor zillionares.

Right, I know which site we are on and who we are dealing with.

But in the 60s and 70s when nuclear testing was always happening, the gov would send out warnings a day or two before stating that earthquake like tremors would be felt when a scheduled bomb was to be blown off. And right on schedule the earth would shake.

Did anyone feel any shaking near Los Alamos or Las Vegas today? Please post if you did.

ummm.. hate to interupt you do know a: how deadly the man-made isoptope is? and b: how long it is deadly for and 3: if we study the aformentioned as well, how deadly a gram is?...

it's just not safe ever kids.....

is that really that hard to get mopar?

The article says it was subcritical, those aren't covered in the treaty. It's testing old nukes incase we have to use them... I do have to say it's pretty foolish to do andnot have it classified, unless they are flexing their muscles toward Iran. (Well, it's foolish for anybody to have anything nuclear, let alone detonate it)

Looks like the US is being a hypocrite..."do as we say, not as we do" to the rest of the world (except Israel of course, gets a free pass on anything including dropping white phosphorus on civilian populations without "consequences".

Using white phosphorus is legal under geneva convention fuckwit,, And it was used to attack a military launching point..
