While accounts and rumors of a delay in the Divine Strake Test are being circulated, Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) wants pledge that the test will be “safe”, and Rep Jim Matheson (D-Utah)is “satisfied” with a delay.
It seems that Greens are among the few demanding that there BE NO TEST AT ALL.
Today’s Salt Lake Tribune has an article on the hazards of such a test/blast.
An environmental consultant who has studied the Nevada Test Site says there is likely radioactive contamination at the location where the Pentagon plans to conduct a major explosives test, potentially dispersing the contaminants.
But Darwin Morgan, a spokesman for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which operates the Nevada Test Site, said extensive tests have shown the Divine Strake test site is not contaminated.
Like, I really believe the Defense Department.
Enough “stuff” already. Nevada Test site experiments are NOT SAFE! There is no reason for our elected officials to be even waivering on this! This is another example of our politicians holding out instead of making a concrete statement and decision. DEMAND A CANCELLATION.
STOP THE DIVINE STRAKE!
