Topic: Pentagon Cancels Nevada Test Blast
February 23, 2007 Pg. 4 The Pentagon canceled its plans to conduct a controversial non-nuclear explosion over the Nevada desert. The experiment, dubbed Divine Strake, was planned as a test of the nation's ability to deal with underground facilities that produce and store weapons of mass destruction. But it prompted a lawsuit and widespread protests from Utah and Nevada politicians, Indian tribes and residents near the Nevada Test Site, who feared it would kick up radioactive material from previous experiments there. |
