[edit] Detection

One thing which should be covered in this article is the issue of detecting underground tests; the issue of whether or not underground testing could be hidden, or could have the yield obscured, or could be detected correctly at all, has been very important since the 1950s or so at least. Just noting that here for future reference. --Fastfission 03:20, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Good point. There is some information in the Amchitka article on the early work on this. Additionally, Caging the Dragon has some useful material. I'll try to look at this over the next few days, unless someone else wants to do so first. Jakew 14:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
