Winds Delay Hydrogen Bomb Test in Nevada Desert
The United States delays a hydrogen bomb test near Las Vegas as forecast winds shift away from populated areas. The noon Sunday detonation at Pahute Mesa, 104 miles northwest of Las Vegas, is postponed a third time due to persistent winds, with officials citing safety concerns over potential gas expulsion. The test, codenamed Star Wars, would unleash up to 150,000 tons of TNT equivalent, and DOE has not confirmed program links.
