Government scientists successfully conducted the Oboe 8 subcritical nuclear experiment Wednesday at the Nevada Test Site, a National Nuclear Security Administration spokesman said.
Derek Scammell said eight anti-nuclear activists showed up at the Mercury entrance to the test site, 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas, to protest the experiment, which was conducted at 1:47 p.m. Five protesters were cited for trespassing and released, he said.
A statement from the Shundahai Network, an international anti-nuclear organization based in Southern Nevada, said the United States demonstrated "extremely poor timing" by conducting the experiment as President Bush declares war on terrorism.
"The people of America will not stand for nuclear weapons testing designed to show that might is right," said the Shundahai Network's statement, quoting spokeswoman Susi Snyder.
Scammell said the Oboe 8 experiment, conducted by scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, detonated small amounts of nuclear material with high explosives. He said the experiment is one in a series aimed at ensuring the safety and reliability of nuclear weapons by determining how the stockpile ages.
The experiments allow scientists to study how materials, such as plutonium, blow apart when detonated. The experiments, conducted in a below-ground complex 85 miles northwest of Las Vegas, are designed to stop short of erupting into nuclear chain reactions.
Lawrence Livermore scientists conducted their most recent subcritical experiment, Oboe 6, on Dec. 14. The next in the series, Oboe 7, was scheduled for this year but was postponed for budgetary reasons. It probably will be conducted next year, Scammell said.
Oboe 8 was the nation's 14th subcritical experiment since the program was launched July 2, 1997.
Full-scale U.S. nuclear weapons tests were put on hold indefinitely in 1992.
The National Nuclear Security Administration is a branch of the Department of Energy.
