In 2008, Karber was volunteering on a committee for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, a Pentagon agency charged with countering weapons of mass destruction.
After a devastating earthquake struck Sichuan province, the chairman of Karber’s committee noticed Chinese news accounts reporting that thousands of radiation technicians were rushing to the region. Then came pictures of strangely collapsed hills and speculation that the caved-in tunnels in the area had held nuclear weapons.
Find out what’s going on, the chairman asked Karber, who began looking for analysts again — this time among his students at Georgetown.
The first inductees came from his arms-control classes. Each semester, he set aside a day to show them tantalizing videos and documents he had begun gathering on the tunnels. Then he concluded with a simple question: What do you think it means?
“The fact that there were no answers to that really got to me,” said former student Dustin Walker, 22. “It started out like any other class, tests on this day or that, but people kept coming back, even after graduation. . . . We spent hours on our own outside of class on this stuff.”
The students worked in their dorms translating military texts. They skipped movie nights for marathon sessions reviewing TV clips of missiles being moved from one tunnel structure to another. While their friends read Shakespeare, they gathered in the library to war-game worst-case scenarios of a Chinese nuclear strike on the United States. end quote from:

I found the research from the earthquake interesting that caused this university research project to happen:

The fact that thousands of radiation technicians were rushing to the Sichuan province would be a give away to begin with. One wonders how many Chinese deaths occurred directly and indirectly or that might be still occurring from this radiation leakage with thousands of radiation technicians rushing to the region after the earthquake?
Anyone in those Nuclear weapon tunnels would have died or been injured in the collapses and any fully or partially damaged nuclear weapons could theoretically leak lethal radiation for hundreds of years or until they are contained in some way.
Also, is it possible that some of the radiation being detected after the Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown could have been blowing over from this Chinese Nuclear disaster during the 2008 earthquake? I guess one way to detect for Korean and Japanese people would be to get out their detectors when the winds are blowing Eastward to see if radiation is leaking from China.
