Did you even read the article? Or did you not understand what you read?

Monies allocated for 'study of' (not 'test of') new and smaller weapons;
monies allocated to prep the test area.

No monies allocated to do any actual testing. The current status would
require 36 months to reconstitute the site; Bush wanted to take it down
to 18 and the US Congress compromised on 24.

This doesn't look like "restarting nuclear war tests" [sic] to me. And
just exactly what is a "nuclear war test'? I know what a 'nuclear
weapons test' is, but I'm not too sure what constitutes a "nuclear war
test". Any suggestions?

It is nice to have the area maintained.

That is a lot less interesting than a proclomation that "the end is near".

Wouldn't that be where the US nukes another nuclear power?
