Interesting article.

Indeed. It figures that there would have been an outright BAN on this type of research before the democRATS were evicted from Congress. It wouldn't have happened to be during the lame duck session, eh?

Nelson cautions that if it were used to root out terrorists near a major Third World city such as Baghdad, the casualties could be in the hundreds of thousands.

It's tough to see a downside in that...

The last paragraph of the article got cut off.

The test, referred to as Sulky, was part of an effort to explore the use of small nuclear warheads for massive earthmoving projects, such as digging a wider replacement for the Panama Canal. A tiny 0.1-kiloton warhead was detonated 89 ft. below ground. As the photo on the previous page indicates, blast damage was confined to the area above the explosion. The presence of an escaping plume of radioactive iodine was, however, not revealed until years later. AEC tracking stations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming reported radiation from the small underground blast. While the amounts were small, their existence serves as a reminder that physical and political fallout will be an inescapable consequence of even the smallest nuclear deterrent.

Tiny Nukes - America's first-strike nuclear weapons

"You can run.
You can hide.
You can dig a very deep hole and fortify it.
But you'll just die more tired than if you'd just run and tried to hide conventionally."

Tiny Nukes - America's first-strike nuclear weapons

Just in time to make it into the Niemann-Marcus Christmas catalog.

Showing your friends a tiny nuke on your mantle instead of those old, tired
vintage British double-barreled shotguns or a Pennsylvania long rifle...
pretty cool.

Tiny Bubbles............. Sorry, it just keep running through my head.
