He drew some cognac from the cask into a tin cannikin.

On the morning of the eighth day I rose and went to the river to fetch fresh drinking water in a leather cannikin.

He did not raise his head, so I lifted the leather cannikin and poured the ice-cold water over him.

The final detonation, the Cannikin, was the largest underground nuclear explosion by the United States.

A 1996 Greenpeace study found that Cannikin was leaking both plutonium and americium into the environment,.

Cannikin, the last test at the Amchitka facility was detonated on 6 November 1971.

The tests were highly controversial, with environmental groups fearing that the Cannikin explosion, in particular, would cause severe earthquakes and tsunamis.

In 1970, the AEC announced plans for another test, named Cannikin.

Cannikin was detonated on November 6, 1971, as the thirteenth test of the Operation Grommet (1971-1972) underground nuclear test series.

'Aye, aye, my merry lads, it's a lively leak this; hold a cannikin, one of ye, and let's have a taste.

From the sidelines, Sir Gavlok hoisted a cannikin of rustic rotgut and cheered, ignoring the frantic novice who bellowed into his unresponsive ear.

Many Canadians protested the United States military underground nuclear bomb tests, codenamed Cannikin, beneath the island of Amchitka, Alaska in 1971.

Two tests, the Milrow and Cannikin tests, were planned, involving the detonation of nuclear bombs under Amchitka Island in Alaska.

The Milrow test would be a one megaton calibration exercise for the second, and larger five megaton, Cannikin test, which would measure the effectiveness of the warhead.

Cannikin was the largest U.S underground nuclear detonation, at Amchitka Island, Alaska on November 6, 1971, with a yield of "less than 5 Megatons".

Operation Grommet: The U.S. tests a thermonuclear warhead at Amchitka Island in Alaska, code-named Project Cannikin.

It was a "calibration shot", intended to produce data from which the impact of larger explosions could be predicted, and specifically, to determine whether the planned Cannikin detonation could be performed safely.

Eventually a group not involving Gravel took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to issue an injunction against it, and the Cannikin test took place as scheduled in November 1971.

A prototype was successfully tested in Project CANNIKIN in the world's largest underground nuclear test, on Amchitka Island in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska.

According to wildlife surveys following the Cannikin event by the University of Alaska Fairbanks, 700-2,000 sea otters were killed by overpressures in the Bering Sea as a direct result of the explosion.

After Milrow was conducted, there was continued pressure on the part of environmental groups against going forward with the larger Cannikin test, while the Federation of American Scientists claimed the warhead being tested was already obsolete.

Murdo watched with interest as a third monk dipped a cannikin into the larger pot and proceeded to pour the contents onto the flat bread before him, before moving on to Gund-run, and so on down the bench.

Cannikin was intended to test the design of the Spartan anti-ballistic missile (ABM) interceptor - a high-yield warhead that "produced copious amounts of x-rays and minimized fission output and debris to prevent blackout of ABM radar systems."
