Nevada Nuclear Test Site Reactivation
Sector: Government • Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
Source: NZ Herald
The United States plans to resume nuclear testing at the Nevada test site, which has not conducted a physical nuclear test since 1992. The site currently relies on computer modelling and subcritical tests. Restarting physical nuclear tests would require significant refurbishment of the site and personnel, with estimates suggesting it could take years and cost up to $100 million for a simple test.
