	Nuclear Testing
		The collective effects of the environmental damage that could result from a large number of nuclear explosions has been termed nuclear winter.
		Military operations in various countries have taken some creative approaches to nuclear testing.
		Operation Smiling Buddha - 18 May 1974 - implosion type - plutonium - underground - 6 to 20 kt

	Nuclear testing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Underwater testing results from nuclear devices being detonated underwater, usually moored to a ship or a barge (which is subsequently destroyed by the explosion).
		Tests of this nature have usually been conducted to evaluate the effects of nuclear weapons against a Navy (such as in Operation Crossroads), or to evaluate potential sea-based nuclear weapons (such as nuclear torpedoes or depth-charges).
		Neither country had very many nuclear weapons to spare at first, and so testing was relatively limited (when the U.S. used two weapons for Operation Crossroads in 1946, they were detonating over 20% of their current arsenal).

	Operation Dominic I and II , the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Operation Dominic I and II was a series of 105 nuclear test explosions conducted in 1962 and 1963 by the United States.
		Those conducted in the Pacific are sometimes called Dominic I. The blasts in Nevada are known as Dominic II.
		Operation Dominic occurred during a period of high Cold War tension between the United States and the Soviet Union; the Bay of Pigs Invasion had occurred not long before.

	Chronology - Quarter 3 1962
		Controversial Operation Dominic succeeded, after two previous attempts in June, in exploding a megaton-plus hydrogen device at more than 200-mile altitude over Johnston Island in the Pacific.
		Carried aloft by a Thor rocket and synchronized with the approach of a TRAAC satellite, this highest thermonuclear blast ever achieved was designed to test the influence of such an explosion on the Van Allen radiation belts.
		The Center would be operational in time for Gemini rendezvous flights in 1964 and later Apollo lunar missions.

	NASA MOONS DUMBED DOWN USA
		This does NOT mean that ground operations on Earth are not dangerous, as evidenced by the explosive demolition of Apollo 1.
		Conducted as part of Operation Dominic was a series of high altitude tests known as Operation Fishbowl.
		The W-49 warhead used in this test was used on the Thor, Atlas, Jupiter, and Titan missiles, and was a descendant of the versatile Mk-28 thermonuclear bomb.
