Russia says a moratorium on nuclear testing has not been abandoned, dismissing a suggestion by the editor of a state television channel that Moscow should detonate a thermonuclear device in Siberia as a warning to the West.

Besides dick waving, would established nuclear powers have any reason to resume nuclear testing ?

Absolutely, because “nuclear testing” is not weapons testing, as the USA would like us to believe.

“Nuclear testing” in Russia is the use of nuclear explosions for peaceful construction purposes, and for mining. I even think that the worldwide ban on nuclear testing had nothing to do with nuclear weapons, but a successful ploy by the USA to stop the successful use of underground nuclear explosions in stimulating the production of oil and gas from oil wells in Russia. so that the USA could grab all the oil revenue for itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Explosions_for_the_National_Economy

“Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy was a Soviet program to investigate peaceful nuclear explosions”.

In Program 6, “124 tests with 135 devices were conducted. Primary objectives of the program were water reservoir development, dam and canal construction, and creation of underground cavities for toxic waste storage.”

All together, the Program 7 conducted 115 nuclear explosions.

• 39 explosions for the purpose of geological exploration (trying to find new natural gas deposits by studying seismic waves produced by small nuclear explosions)
• 25 explosions for intensification of oil and gas debits
• 22 explosions for creating underground storage for natural gas
• 5 explosions for extinguishing large natural gas fountains that were burning
• 4 explosions for creating channels and dams (including the Chagan test in Kazakhstan, and the Taiga test on the potential route of the Pechora–Kama Canal)
• 2 explosions for crushing ore in open-pit mines
• 2 explosions for creating underground storage for toxic wastes
• 1 explosion to facilitate coal mining in an underground mine
• 19 explosions were performed for research purposes (studying possible migration of the radioactivity from the place of the explosions).

As against the 250 peaceful uses of nuclear explosions by the Soviet Union, the USA only used 35 nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes. And the USA was not nearly as successful.

Lovely stuff this water from a reservoir and canals created by using nucelar fission. Clean healthy water. Bewdiful.

You’re a moron with your knee-jerk anti-Americanism which you never justify with anything remotely factual.

It was an interesting concept nuclear weapons engineering except for that pesky radiation
