【美国《国防》月刊1981年11月第38页报道】和平利用核爆炸计划包括开矿、开挖和其它地下工程。过去,美国和苏联在这方面进行过一系列试验。现在,迫于公众的强烈反对,美国已停止执行和平利用核爆炸计划,苏联可能继续进行这种试验。如果将来的条约对核武器试验限制严格,那么也能通过周密的设计,用和平利用的名义,掩盖核武器试验的实质。 [U.S. Defense Monthly, November 1981, p. 38] Plans for the peaceful use of nuclear explosions include mining, excavation and other underground works. In the past, the United States and the Soviet Union conducted a series of tests in this regard. Now, under the strong public opposition, the United States has stopped implementing the plan for the peaceful use of nuclear explosions and the Soviet Union may continue such experiments. If future treaties are restrictive of nuclear weapons tests, the essence of nuclear-weapon tests can also be masked through well-designed, peaceful uses.
