Amchitka ABM test plans spark Alaska senator debate
Alaska senator Mike Gravel and others challenge the safety and necessity of a proposed underground nuclear blast on Amchitka to test the Spartan ABM system. Critics warn of quake and tidal risks, potential radioactive leakage, and the possible obsolescence of the test amid ongoing review by the executive branch. Supporters stress safety measures and the strategic value of a large yield test.
