Chirac vows to resume underground tests in September
Chirac declared eight planned nuclear tests would proceed despite a 1992 moratorium, saying the tests would have no ecological consequences and would finish a three year interruption aimed at calibrating equipment for future simulations of France's independent deterrent. Australia and New Zealand protested, with calls for a boycott of French goods. New Zealand’s Don McKinnon criticized the announcement as Napoleonic-De Gaulle arrogance as tests were set to begin in French Polynesia in September.
