It is my firm belief that subcritical tests are an extension of the 41-year-long nuclear testing program of the United States government at the Nevada Test Site that began in 1951 and ‘ended’ in 1992. A subcritical underground test – which I place in the same category as a nuclear test – is a break of the underground testing ban and these ‘nuclear’ tests may signal to other CTBT signatories the U.S.’s determination to not only keep its nuclear arsenal but one day resume full-scale nuclear testing.
