obligations, and does not involve any of the Western Alliance countries other than the US. Far more important was the US designating Australia a major non-NATO ally in 1989, which has some tangible benefits, but still falls a long way short of what NATO countries get. In the 21st century, long after the period cover by the article, there are some intelligence-sharing agreements in place with Western Alliance nations, and as a result of the debacle in Afghanistan, NATO entered into a series of partnership agreements with Australia. This is still a long way short of NATO membership, but it is hoped that it will at least head off a repeat of what happened in Afghanistan.
1051:"The British government welcomed Australian financial assistance, and Australian participation avoided the embarrassment that would have come from building a UK base on Australian soil. On the other hand, it was recognised that Australian participation would likely mean that the Australians would demand access to even more information than in Operation Totem. This had implications for Britain's relationship with the United States." Is this all covered by the next reference? Sorry don't have immediate access to it to check. Seem like important points. 1775:
Australia and USA and while the latter has populations spread down the majority of its eastern seaboard, there are areas of Australia comparatively uninhabited - for example North of Cairns. Just important to stress again (as I did above) I'm just thinking out loud and this will not get in the way of my supporting FA status for the article. Also it may not be in the references and of course I'm not asking you to introduce original research.
2229:"The decision to establish the Giles Weather Station in the Rawlinson Ranges was a complicating factor because it was outside MacDougall's jurisdiction, being just across the border in Western Australia, where the legal environment was different, and the people there had little contact with white people." Possibly change "the people" to "the Aboriginal people"?-- 1714:"The failure of the first round of Operation Grapple tests" hasn't been previously explained in this article so should it say "The first round of Operation Grapple tests was unsuccessful in demonstrating a working hydrogen bomb design which left plans for Operation Antler in disarray."? (It's a quibble but it doesn't assume any knowledge of Grapple). 2208:" The inhabitants were moved to a new settlement at Yalata, but many ritual objects had been concealed and left behind, and the people preferred the landscape of the desert, and many people left Yalata to return to their traditional lands." possibly substitute a semicolon for the final comma, excluding the final "and"? 1996:
Legacy - I wonder why the Australian government rejected the recommendation that the British government should pay all the costs of a clean up? Foreign relations must have outweighed internal politics? I note "prolonged negotiations" are mentioned in the Media coverage section. Another example of
850:
ANZUS secured Australia's agreement to the signing of a peace treaty with Japan. It is a non-binding co-operation agreement between Australia, New Zealand and and the United States. Unlike NATO, ANZUS has no integrated structure, no dedicated forces, no secretariat or formal structure, no mutual
1774:
You replied above "the eastern seaboard of Australia is where the major population centres are. So they wanted the test sites in the desert to the west. The same logic as location the US test sites in the west instead of on the east coast." But I've looked up maps of population density for both
916:"a temporary airstrip was created in two days by land rovers pulling a length of railway line" - I'm guessing this just means they dragged it along the surface to level and clear the site? But is this clear and/or relevant? Maybe just "a temporary airstrip was created in two days"? 2124:. In this period, the imperial system of units would undoubtedly have been used to design up the project (and kT used for yields). Also jumping out at me, the height of the Vickers Valiant being given in metres first – aircraft flying heights are always in feet. 1559:"Conditions were suitable but "by no means ideal"." - for me this begged the question what are the factors that make it less than ideal? I can make assumptions (clear skies and no precipitation?) but a sentence setting ideal conditions would sit well here. 1952:
Fallout - "Although the 1958 Operation Grapple thermonuclear tests had a measurable effect in the UK, none was detected in Australia." -- I just wonder if it should say something like "had a measurable effect in servicemen returning to the UK"?
1079:
It has both a general and a specific meaning. In works about nuclear weapons it always specifically refers to the access to nuclear weapons technology. I've consistently qualified it with "nuclear". It is only meaningful in the narrow sense.
873:
When reading "Neither the Montebello Islands nor Emu Field were considered suitable as permanent test sites" it makes you think why not? The site selection criteria is further down (bulleted list) so perhaps this can be reorganised slightly?
816:" links to "NATO". This left Australia without allies in an uncertain post-war world. Hence the desire to re-kindle ties with the UK, and to acquire nuclear weapons. Australia's exclusion had long-effects that are still being felt today. 1670:
The discussion of fallout travelling west to east made me wonder why an eastern seaboard option wasn't chosen to avoid this. (I note at least one northern option was discounted). Not a deal breaker in terms of FA, just thinking out loud.
1674:
Because the eastern seaboard of Australia is where the major population centres are. So they wanted the test sites in the desert to the west. The same logic as location the US test sites in the west instead of on the east coast.
1974:
This augured poorly for the future of Maralinga, if there was a change of government, and the 1961 Australian federal election reduced Menzies' majority to just one seat. -- Slightly clunky. Maybe just remove the first comma?
2373: 2115:
I think there is some inconsistency in the units used. The explosion yields are given in kT with the metric equivalent in brackets, but distances are given in metric with imperial conversions in brackets.
2022:
is a book by Alan Parkinson about the clean-up following the British nuclear tests at Maralinga, published in 2007. Parkinson, a nuclear engineer, explained that the clean-up of Maralinga " feels a bit
734:"Robert Menzies, who came to office in 1949, was strongly pro-British" - I looked at his article and see he was PM from 1949 to 1966, this needs to be explained in this article to show the relevance. 2152:
the primary units chosen will be SI units, non-SI units officially accepted for use with the SI, or such other units as are conventional in reliable-source discussions of the article topic
1516:"sitting as Mosex or Buffalex as appropriate." confused me. So Mos- and Buff- refer to Mosaic and Buffalo. And then -ex is for Executive? I just feel it should be explained a bit more? 2293:"It was clear that the procedures for prevent balloon escapes had been inadequate and the self-destruction devices were unreliable." Should this be "procedures to"? Or is this Engvar? 1735:
This section says use of barrage balloons was logistically simpler, but then says "six hours to set up a tower test and eight for a balloon test." - just seems like a contradiction?
1030:
although Cabinet did not give its assent until 4 May - when reading this I thought it meant British Cabinet. It's linked to Australian Cabinet so that needs to be clearer.
414:
In metric we use the prefix mega- for a million. A litre of water weighs a kilogram; a megalitre of water weighs 1,000 tonnes. Normally magalitres is used for small dams.
1652:
Another one of those corporate abbreviations that is far better known than what it stands for. (Most people thought it stood for "Try Another Airline".) Added the name.

Really solid article. A few comments on a first pass (Lead up to and including "Aboriginal affairs"). Items with questions mark are more probing questions/suggestions.
1253:"Two Army skid-mounted 11-kilolitre-per-day (3,000 US gal/d; 2,500 imp gal/d) Cleaver-Brooks thermocompression distillation units" - Could this be trimmed/simplified? 1160:"just finished the construction of an oil refinery near Fremantle" when? The delay from this to cabinet approval is unclear. The reader is just asked to accept it. 1512:
I continue to be impressed with the quality of this article. A few comments from review of Operation Buffalo - Operation Antler#Planning and purpose (inclusive):
716:
Changed to "in the 1950s". The relevance is in why the Australian government granted permission to the British government to conduct nuclear tests in Australia.

How is Australia's exclusion from NATO relevant? "Western Alliance" is a bigger term than just NATO and Australia very much in that sphere of influence.
40: 100:
This article is about the British nuclear tests at Maralinga in the 1950s. I'm nominating this because there has been a spike in page views due to the

What do free passage and subsidised passage mean, specifically? Of course I can guess but I shouldn't have to. e.g. from where to where.
1931:
Vixens - "for a successful test subjects the core fuel to high explosives in the hope that it simply scatters" -- missing word(s) here?
713:"At the time Britain was still Australia's largest trading partner," - at what time? I assume ~1946. And how is this directly relevant? 895:"the area north of Emu Field.... was on the axis of the Long Range Weapons Establishment" - leaves me questioning what the problem is? 1821:
Minor trials - it's noted "Maralinga was ordered to suspend all testing, including minor trials." - I assume by Australia and not UK?
72: 2154:. The use of kilotons of TNT for the nuclear explosion yields is conventional in reliable-source discussions of the article topic. 791:
I should write an article on it. Added "the nuclear agreement between the US and UK which superseded the wartime Quebec Agreement"

Minor prose suggestion for your consideration - "Tim experiments were concerned with the measurement of how the core..." : -->

Also he's introduced in this section (as a nuclear engineer). Should this not be at his first mention in the section above?

theoretical predictions group - just checking if this should be "Theoretical Predictions Group"? Not previously explained.

WL "brackish" because I hadn't a clue what this is. User familiarity will vary massively on this based on geography.
742: 770:. This is before the era of air travel. The trip cost about £120 in 1945, but immigrants were charged only £10. 690: 667: 1646: 1076:" - that article is about much more than just nuclear weapons, so not sure the way it's linked is appropriate? 877:
Added "Montebello could be accessed only by sea, and Emu had problems with its water supply and dust storms."
1910:"TM100 and TM101 areas" isn't fully explained in the text - perhaps refer to the image by way of explanation? 601:
I am not a nuclear expert, but I am used to seeing kT, but not TJ. Is this standard? Or maybe too much info?
2133: 1338: 673:
In this article, the assumption would be an Australian act, so "United States" is used to make this clear.

I'd suggest just removing general & or so. Makes it more defintive while still clear it's an estimate.
