 Re: correction and appology from CQ about The Sudan nuclear site (Re: Ibrahim Ali Ibrahim)

Greetings
As the news was alarming, and accepting that it was only a TYPO is not that easy, I did a Web search and found the following about the Sedan Nuclear Experiment

.......
And the following:
Quote: Sedan Event, a Cratering Experiment at NTS
Sedan (1962) was an excavation experiment conducted at the Nevada Test Site. It was one of 27 tests conducted between 1957 and 1973 in the Plowshare Program to develop technology for using nuclear explosives in earth-moving projects such as the creation of harbors and canals. |

As well as the following:
| Quote: The most striking reminder of Operation Plowshare is the Sedan Crater, 1,280 feet across and 320 feet deep. It was an experiment in the use of nuclear explosions for excavation, to dig canals or dredge harbors. The Sedan test detonated a 104-kiloton device 635 feet underground, displacing 12 million tons of earth. Tons of that sand became airborne fallout, and the process was deemed unsuitable for digging. Occasional Plowshare tests, 35 in all, continued until 1973 |

It seems like done in Nevada, and this explains the fact that the effect was detected in Canada.
there are photos on the above Web Sites, which show th crater and othr detail about the experiment.
Thanks to Mr. Ibrahim Ali Ibrahim for addressing our concerns
and to Bakri for posting the piece of news and the correction as well
