Huntsman: Divine Strake could lead to more testing in Nevada

Watch the video: http://www.abc4.com/mediacenter/?videoID=59291

Utah's Governor is warning that Divine Strake could lead to further bomb tests at the Nevada test site.

That's why - in a new, strongly worded letter- Jon Huntsman is turning up the heat on the Bush administration.

Huntsman wants to make very clear to Washington that he not only opposes Divine Strake but will also do everything in his power to stop it.

And the Governor makes this very clear in the letter to the Secretary of Energy. "...there is no assurance that this test will not lead to a resumption of testing at the Nevada test site," Huntsman wrote.

The Governor also writes passionately about those Utahns who have already suffered or died from nuclear fallout. "People who survived prior testing should not have to fear that the unexpected will happen again."

Congressman Jim Matheson is also again weighing in on the issue. He now wants complete details on how much Divine Strake will cost and is also pressing the Energy Secretary to look at alternative sites.

6. C'mon, I used to work with one of the original test site vets...

one of the guys they marched through the blast zone an hour after they set off the nuke. He only had three kinds of cancer none of them fatal or fast growing. (true story)

You'll be fine.
