Super Kukla

USA / Nevada / Indian Springs /

The Super Kukla reactor, operated at the Nevada Test Site between 1965 and 1978, simulated the hostile environment of a nuclear exchange. Nuclear weapon components and materials were placed inside an experiment cavity, and instruments measured how well the tested samples stood up to the hostile radiation environment.
