Meanwhile be charmed (1 minute, 10 seconds into the video above) by the wickedly sexy English female narrator as she describes France's 18 early nuclear bomb tests. These took place at Reggane and Ekker in the French Sahara.
According toLieutenant Colonel Warner D. Farr in a 1999 reportto the USAF Counterproliferation Center "Progress in nuclear science and technology in France and Israelremained closely linked throughout the early fifties." Furthermore, according to Farr, "There were several Israeli observers at the French nuclear tests and the Israelis had 'unrestricted access to French nuclear test explosion data.'"[6]”
Australia has vast deserts for our own tests...one day.
Enjoy
