of ground zero. Of course, that's back when I had a

I don't know what they have now, but I wouldn't think
we've downgraded any

You are probably right, I was being generous.I did underground nuke test from 66 thru 92 . Twenty miles away at control point the ground shook so bad vehicles bounced around at 15 seconds after zero.Those were less than 5KT, 1000 feet down

My father was in nevada, then in the south pacific in
the early 50's watching firecrackers.
He never spoke to me about it, but my mother said
that him and the other people on the decks of the
ship were burned as if badly sunburned and their
uniforms scorched slightly. She said he had nightmares
about it every night up until cancer took him.

If WWIII breaks and nukes land. I'll just say goodbye to planet earth. And if things go well and I remain alive. I'll be grateful.

Yea,I got into it just as the above ground test were stopped.They killed a lot of people. My boss , the chief engineer Frank Shelton was at every above ground test detonated. I can't figure out why he did not die of cancer

My lifelong rabbit-hunting buddy was aboard ship during the Bikini Atoll tests in the early 1950's.

In all the years I knew him, he never mentioned it once. I read about it in his obituary, two years ago.
Lived to age 91.
