BURROWING NUCLEAR BOMB Summary on The Sub-Criticals The U.S. is now fielding a new tactical and strategic nuclear military capability that has already been used to threaten a non-nuclear country. This new capability was certified without nuclear testing, using an existing surrogate testing facility with capabilities much less than those under construction and planned. The weapon was developed and deployed in secret, without public and congressional debate, contrary to domestic and international assurances that no new nuclear weapons were being developed. Other new or modified nuclear weapons, earth-penetrating and otherwise, are planned.
