[Conklin, Al (DOH)]

No, but I teach a class on INDs, which includes a segment on the history of nukes, including these two. People are very surprised to find it out.

A WINNER!  Were you there, Al?  

I was a Saturn V contractor in Huntsville at the time and we didn't feel a thing.  But then beer, at the time, may have dampened the seismic effect.

Two nuclear devices have been detonated in the U.S. on the East side of the Mississippi River.  Name the State and dates.  

Rebecca Terrell, in a The New American article on the over-reaction to Fukushima, reveals (in an aside) the details of two nuclear blasts and the reaction of the local population.  

I'll bet not 1 in a 1000 RadSafers knows the answer.  Or 1 in 500,000 "normal" people. :-)  In fact I know people who live within 50 miles of "ground zero" who have no idea the explosions ever took place.

 

Here is a link to her on-line article:
