Talk:Nuclear weapons testing

Moved

I moved the article from Nuclear Tests to Nuclear test. --Menchi 05:15, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Proposed changes

Perhaps we should create a separate article for List of nuclear tests for all of the test-series designations, and the individual sections for each country on this page should be a better description of the history of the country's testing (i.e. a longer version of "The US tested its first bomb in 1945, then there was Crossroads with its implications, then lots of testing in Nevada, then the hydrogen bombs at Eniwetok, then more Nevada testing, then underground testing as a result of fallout concerns, then no testing after end of Cold War." for the USA section). Lacking from this page is any discussion of the concerns of fallout from atmospheric testing, which seems almost criminal in an article on nuclear testing. I think its "list-like" quality should be discouraged. Any objections to the following changes? I'll wait a week or so... --Fastfission 02:56, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
