US nuclear test condemned by Iran, Japan

[RayKalm]

Iran has strongly condemned the US for carrying out a nuclear test in Nevada this week, saying the move threatens world peace and shows a hypocritical set of double standards set by Washington when it comes to nuclear research.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said the Wednesday detonation proves that US foreign policy relies heavily on the use of nuclear weapons, disregarding UN calls for global disarmament, PressTV reports.

The experiment also drew criticism from Japan, with Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui wondering why the Obama administration carried out the test, despite saying he would “seek a nuclear-free world.”

The test proves that the US “could use nuclear weapons anytime,” said Hirotami Yamada, who heads the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Survivors Council.

On Friday it was announced that the Nevada National Security Site had successfully detonated plutonium in a deep shaft Wednesday to test the safety and effectiveness of US nuclear weapons, National Nuclear Security Administration officials said.

The Pollux subcritical experiment was carried out by scientists at the Los Alamos, New Mexico national laboratory and the Sandia National Laboratories and involved a tiny sample of plutonium bomb material.

Subcritical nuclear experiments have been conducted in the US since 1997 in order to help scientists understand how plutonium ages in the stockpile.

They use chemical explosives to blow up bits of nuclear materials designed to stop just short of erupting into a nuclear chain reaction, also known as a criticality.


The latest test used new diagnostic equipment that enabled researchers to collect more data then ever before.


“This is a significant diagnostics advancement,” Darwin Morgan, spokesman for the Nevada National Nuclear Security Site, was quoted as saying by the Las Vegas Review Journal.

Officials claimed that the test was carried out to provide for the secure storage of nuclear warheads.

International inspectors were not allowed to witness the experiment, as Washington has prevented access to its test site since the late 1990s.

Wednesday's test is twenty-seventh American "subcritical experiment" since full-scale nuclear weapons tests were halted in 1992.

Do you realize how pathetic you sound?

A black man thinking he's all that and defending the country that enslaved his kind for centuries. Heck, even today you guys are second class. My Iranian relatives have it 1000 times better than your kind in the US and we're supposed to be enemies.

I'm not saying you shouldn't defend the US, but don't act so pathetic. They test nukes and then tell other nations that you shouldn't even have nuclear reactors to make electricity.


Now go make fun of the communist RT like a good slave

Nah I know they are biased. But don't say I'm the real brainwashed one, look at the ones who are military, at least I'm not.But then some of their news are biased and false. I'm just interested in their technology nothing more....

you never knew because they never did. Science does not have to be your favorite subject to be able to understand that . They level of ignorance is remarkably high it seems.

This was not a nuclear weapons test, there was not any atomic reaction .

BUT THE CRAZIEST tell tale sign is? US would have been called out as breaking it's treaty and has not. that and the fact that Obama is a huge proponent for getting rid of all nuclear wespons

1. Your Iranian relatives don't even show up in studies about the most successful immigrants. I don't know how you tards throw stuff without actually checking out the facts. well, I kinda know why...

2. This was not a nuclear 'weapons' test. It is actually to find out what happens when you keep nuclear weapons around for a long time. It's more of a safety related test and had no atomic reaction, which is critical, for a " weapons " test.

3. when calling others slaves_ make sure you are not a slave to perputual ignorance

Hiroshima mayor condemns US nuclear test in Nevada

Hiroshima: Mayor of Hiroshima city, which suffered the world’s first atomic bombing, on Thursday condemned the US for conducting a subcritical nuclear test, saying it went against the global call for elimination of nuclear weapons.

Reacting to the nuclear test at an underground site in Nevada by the United States, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui told reporters that it ran counter to the global call for elimination of nuclear weapons, Kyodo news reported.

Atomic-bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki expressed anger at the United States.

Kazuo Okoshi, 72, who serves as secretary general of the Hiroshima Council of A-Bomb Sufferers Organisations, said the United States has taken contradictory action, noting that Washington had backed an antinuclear resolution at a plenary session of the UN General Assembly on Monday.

The resolution on Monday, sponsored by a group of countries led by Japan, called for the total elimination of nuclear weapons.

Okoshi also said the US subcritical nuclear test could encourage Japanese politicians who are discussing Japan’s right to exercise collective self-defense and renaming the country’s Self-Defense Forces as national defense forces.

Hisao Kato, 83, who was exposed to radiation in Hiroshima at the age of 16, said he feels anger, noting that the United States goes against the global trend for the elimination of nuclear weapons.

“Many people in the world have expectations for President Obama over the elimination of nuclear arms, but now I think having such expectations might be wrong,” he said.

Koichi Kawano, 72, who heads a council of the Nagasaki Peace Action Centre, said he had hoped President Barack Obama would strive for a nuclear-free world in his second four-year term.

Kawano urged the Japanese government to file a tough protest with Washington over the subcritical nuclear test.

With their high level of educational attainment and a median family income 20 percent higher than the national average, Iranian-Americans contribute substantially to the U.S. economy. Through surveys of Fortune 500 companies and other major corporations, the researchers identified more than 50 Iranian-Americans in senior leadership positions at companies with more than $200 million in asset value, including General Electric, AT&T, Verizon, Intel, Cisco, Motorola, Oracle, Nortel Networks, Lucent Technologies, and eBay. Fortune magazine ranks Pierre Omidyar, founder and chairman of the board of eBay, the wildly popular online auction company, as the second richest American entrepreneur under age 40.

Iranian-Americans are also prominent in academia. According to a preliminary list compiled by ISG, there are more than 500 Iranian-American professors teaching and doing research at top-ranked U.S. universities, including MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, the University of California system (Berkeley, UCLA, etc.), Stanford, the University of Southern California, Georgia Tech, University of Wisconsin, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of Maryland, California Institute of Technology, Boston University, George Washington University, and hundreds of other universities and colleges throughout the United States.
