REUTERS:
The metropolis of Bluesky, in their never-ending quest for Peace country domination, have again tested a nuclear bomb, contrary to the 1954 Treaty of Berwyn.

Duncan Reserve Chief Tony Testawich has concerns about the testing, but is quoted as saying, "Im pretty sure that nuclear stuff isnt probably good, but the moose are definitely bigger than they were 40 years ago, so maybe there's something to it".

Local residents have noted an increase in military operations in the area ever since the burning of Burkholder Building Supplies almost 25 years ago.

That might explain the size of the darn horseflys this summer!

FLYZILLA!!!

I heard a rumour that the yanks wanted to try some underground nuclear detonations in the tar sands to try out their weapons and also see if the could separate the bitumen.

maybe one day, would this be the cleaner version of oil for obama then?

Dead link. It must've been nuked.

Cool picture. I was flying over southern Alberta on the weekend. Saw a towering cumulus that was starting to anvil out. Pretty cool thing to see from 40,000 ft.

Look up soviet unions PNE program, the used small nuclear bombs in their bitumin and extremely heavy oil resevoirs in the ural mountains and caspian region... The explosion melts the oil, creates sort of a cavern and the vacuum effect draws in the oil, apperantly works like a hot dam but then you have radioactive oil.

I forget what derailed the plan to try a bomb in alberta but they came pretty close to doing it

I Have seen clouds like that over Westlock. I figure it is just Reeves in his background playing around with something.

i dont know why it did that, it refers to another page so you can click on the link there, this is from the other wiki page:

Thermonuclear thinking: The most dramatic proposal for in situ production from deep oil sand deposits came from Richfield Oil Company. In 1959 Richfield suggested an experimental plan to release liquid hydrocarbons from the sand through the expedient of an underground nuclear explosion. The company proposed detonating a 9-kiloton explosive device below the oil sands at a site 100 kilometres south of Fort McMurray. Thermonuclear heat would create a large underground cavern and simultaneously liquefy the oil. The cavern could serve as a collection point for the now-fluid oil, enabling the company to produce it.
This idea came remarkably close to reality. The project received federal approval in Canada, and the United States Atomic Energy Commission agreed to provide the device. But before the experiment could take place, public pressure for an international ban on nuclear testing had mounted. The provincial government withheld approval and thus killed the plan.

People would use radiation to brush their teeth back then lol. Back in the bad old days.

Still hard to believe they had nuclear anti-aircraft missles to shoot down the Soviets. The US was also developing a nuclear powered bomber.

And something I always liked are the nuclear powered lighthouses that still exist off the coast of the former Soviet Union.

How terrorists haven't managed to attack us with nuclear weapons before now is a mystery

Nothing would surprise me anymore.
