Yep, you don’t have to be a cryptologist to figure that out.

[TangoLimaSierra]

That’s not even correct as there are no NOTAMAS for KWA airport that go until 3/31/24.

I guess they inoculate you against politeness when they let you be “in the know”.

[pfflier]

We've been doing those for years. There is no nuclear material in the dummy warhead.

My guess is that weather has uncovered some old dumps from the early test days.

[steve86]

But why are they talking about extreme radiation... Whether it’s ionizing or RF?

[Rinnwald]

The Prinz Eugen is already pretty much on the beach.

Well said.

[Openurmind]

Hiding the details of the launch. Don’t want any questions asked about the launch, so a cover story big enough to cover why air space actually needed to be cleared.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Exactly what I was thinking. Or the dome collapsed…?

[PeterPrinciple]

This story is a perfect example of the stupidity, childishness, and fake news of the Internet.

And that is the purpose of FR, to get us closer to the truth. But it is a process sometimes.....................

[lefty-lie-spy]

Good post. Agreed. I admit I don’t remember exactly where the dome(s) are.

Relatively obscure film about some dangerous radioactive material landing on a small island due to a plane crash.

A lot of the stupid originates right here on FR.

The good news is you have much work to do..............

That’s a good question. Microwaves? Gamma rays? Radio waves?

[Afterguard]

Well this is interesting.... Long ago and far away, like in the ‘70s and ‘80s, we would occasionally go to Kwaj to fly observation for MIRV testing at the missile range there. Was a fun place to visit with a great club, restaurant, and the pool was actual seawater. We looked forward to going there. They never warned us about radiation locally, just told us to stay away from Bikini.

Is the lead lined building still standing ? , last I was in it was back in August of ‘93 . The day that never was .
