520 "In Atomic Testing in Mississippi, David Allen Burke
illuminates the nearly forgotten history of America's only
nuclear detonations east of the Mississippi River. The
atomic tests, conducted in the mid-1960s nearly 3,000 feet
below ground in Mississippi's Tatum Salt Dome, posed a
potential risk for those living within 150 miles of the
site, which included residents of Hattiesburg, Jackson,
Gulfport, Biloxi, Mobile, and New Orleans. While the
detonations provided the United States with verification
methods that helped limit the world's nuclear arsenals,
they sparked widespread public concern. In 1964 and 1966
the Atomic Energy Commission conducted experiments at the
salt dome - code-named Dribble - surrounded by a greater
population density than any other test site in the United
States. Although the detonations were not weapons tests,
they fostered a conflict between regional politicians
interested in government-funded science projects and a
population leery of nuclear testing near their homes. Even
today, residents near the salt dome are still fearful of
long-term negative health consequences. Despite its
controversy, Project Dribble provided the technology
needed to detect and assess the performance of distant
underground atomic explosions and thus verify
international weapons treaty compliance. This technology
led to advanced seismological systems that now provide
tsunami warnings and detect atomic activity in other
nuclear nations, such as Pakistan and North Korea."--
