   Uh, isn’t this just a tad more contaminant than the Japan situation?

   It amazing how much crud we (along with the Ruskies) were putting into the atmosphere back in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. Thank goodness for the test ban treaty.

     I lived less than one hundred miles from where they set them off during the entire period!
