1. Colonel (Ret) Mike Dunn said:
Underground testing is absolutely necessary to ensure correct knowledge and use of the weapon. Chances of any harmful material being released into the atmosphere are zero despite activist alarms.

Colonel Dunn, with all due respect sir, you need to get your facts straight. The Environmental Impact Study concluded that "Since suspended natural radionuclides and resuspended fallout radionuclides from the detonation have potential to be transported off of the NTS by wind, they may contribute radiological dose to the public." To say that there is "zero" risk is nonsense.
