It looks like they might be testing more nuclear bombs in the future to come.

Nuclear experiment scheduled in 2004 at Nevada Test Site

(Las Vegas-AP) -- Federal scientists are preparing to conduct a nuclear materials experiment at the Nevada Test Site in 2004.

The National Nuclear Security Administration says it will conduct a subcritical experiment -- named Unicorn -- in a cavern about thousand feet beneath the Test Site.

The site is about 85 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

Subcritical experiments involve exposing tiny amounts of nuclear materials to high explosives. But the resulting blast stops short of producing a nuclear chain reaction.

The experiments allow scientists to study how plutonium and other radioactive materials behave when detonated with explosives.
