When it registers on an earthquake level and we already know of the radiation and fall out.....is it really safe....no matter where they test it?

Um, EVERY ENVIROMENTAL CONSEQUENCE you can imagine, is the consequence.
Youre talking about disrupting the crust of the earth. Which could cause fault lines, sink holes, crustal shifting, and other problems related to that effect.
Youre also talking radiation in the ground water, soil, roots to plant life, underground life, and the disturbance of magnetic fields and lines.
I'm sure there's a list of cons a mile long, however most nations with nuclear capabilities continue to test underground. They assume that testing in mountains, deserts, bodies of water, and underground can not possibly hurt anything. But, in all reality people will sacrifice their lives for peace of mind and security.

It does not sound good, but they have been doing it for decades & we are all still here. The rest does not cause enough danger
to make sane scientist concerned.
No fallout, but I guess it depends on how they did test for soil radiation.

No, it is not safe. The soil and water are affected for hundreds if not thousands of years. And even though it was underground, it will get into the air and environment because the ground is porous.

No. It's deadly, and unsafe. I'm surprized we haven't had a tectonic event because of it, actually.
