The United States Government has annouced that it will follow through with plans that were announced in 2006. The army will be testing a potential bunker buster, named "Divine Strake." It is a 700 ton amonium nitrate bomb. Let's compare that to the bomb that took down the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. That one was only 2.5 tons. Now, guess where they will test it? Yes, at the Nevada Test Site! This bomb, although not itself nuclear, will be exploded only a mile from where the nuclear bombs were detonated. The Jet Stream is sure to carry all that radioactive dust right over America's retirees, right over the world's tourists, right over patriotic Mormons, right up to Juan Diego (the largest Catholic High School Campus in the United States in Salt Lake City), up and over the Colorado River and on to the rest of the USA and over the Atlantic to the rest of the world. I feel that the few people who know abt. this can't fight it alone. Spread the word! Protest!

You seem to be all upset over nothing.
I suggest that you find out if it will actually result in _any_ measurable amount of radioactivity before you panic.

are you sure it is 700 tons, that 1.4 million pounds, no plane i know can carry that much weight. maybe 70 tons, but not 700 tons. a c-5 can carry one Abraham's tank which weighs 60 tons.and the c-5 is bigger that a 747. the military has already though of potential fallout from the exploding of this bomb, and the last few nuclear test we're bone in the 70's, most radioactive dust doesn't have a half life that long. 30 days after a nuclear blast the area that wasn't blasted is safe for humans, i mean the fallout area. so you shouldn't be to worried about fallout dust from the 70's

Dude...The Department of Defense has thought of all this, and surely decided there's no significant risk to anyone, else they'd not be doing it, or finding an alternative test site.
Calm down, and quit freakin' out about a big bang.
