Er... are you saying that the earthquake acts as a giveaway of underground nuclear testing? I suspect it's pretty hard to trigger an earthquake with a nuke unless it's a pretty big one and deliberately put in just the right place. However, an underground nuke does generate some eminently detectable - and fairly characteristic - seismic waves in its own right. It's pretty hard to set one off without someone picking up the seismic signature, unless you set off a tiddly one in the middle of a really huge cave, in which case it'd have zero chance of triggering an earthquake anyway.

It was only a matter of time until some one found out New Zealand’s dirty little nuclear testing program secrets they had covered for a long time with excuses like “It’s because we have fault lines” .

Would you really do underground nuke testing in/near a fault-line though? Sounds a bit risky.


not if its near someone else fault line

Sounds a bit like Lex Luther, unless I'm very much mistaken!
