		Negotiations were concluded in Moscow on a treaty to ban all nuclear tests in the atmosphere, in outer space, and under water.
		Continued unrestricted testing by the nuclear powers, joined in time by other nations which may be less adept in limiting pollution, will increasingly contaminate the air that all of us must breathe.
		It is true that the Soviets have tested nuclear weapons of a yield higher than that which we thought to be necessary, but the hundred megaton bomb of which they spoke a years ago does not and will not change the balance of strategic power.

		But clearly, one tactic that advocates hope to employ in their press for resumption of tests is the idea that even Cannon, the son of a man who died of cancer that might be linked to test-related radiation, sees that the security needs of sustaining our nuclear arsenal requires the environmental dangers of testing.
		While Russia openly tests ballistic missiles it claims are capable of dodging any and all missile defense interceptors, it’s not difficult to cast the shadow that it plans to test nuclear weapons.
		Instead, it is evident that multiple plans for nuclear testing are being produced within the labs, and these will filter their way up the chain of command until President Bush in late 2006 or early 2007 can insist that there’s really no other way for America to guarantee the credibility of its deterrent.
