When I was in junior college I worked part-time for SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation) as a draftsperson in their nuclear instrumentation division. While there I worked on three underground nuclear tests:
- Midas Myth/Milagro, 02-15-1984, <20 KT yield
- Misty Rain, 04-05-1985, <20 KT yield
- Mighty, Oak 04-10-1986, <20 KT yield
These were a series of tests of the MIRV warhead on the then new MX missle (which at the time was being designed to run around the country on rail cars and be launched from random locations). The DOE (Department of Energy) gives everyone who works on these tests a certificate that is a cartoon depicting the story of the test.
Weird.
Nuclear weapons are bad, they make me sad :(
