Explain This: Subcritical experiments
Earlier this month, the US National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced that it had conducted a subcritical experiment
with plutonium in an underground tunnel 300 meters below the Nevada
National Security Site (formerly, the Nevada Test Site), about 65 miles
northwest of Las Vegas. Named Pollux, it was the 27th such experiment
that the United States has conducted since it ended test nuclear
explosions in 1992.http://www.thebulletin.org/web-edition/features/explain-subcritical-experiments
