Russians suspected of violating nuclear pact
U S intelligence review examines July underground blasts at Semipalatinsk and Azgir amid uncertainty about terrain and yields. Early indications suggest a sip of pact spirit violation rather than legal breach since Senate ratification pending. Officials note blasts may exceed 150 kilotons, surpassing the Nixon Brezhnev ceiling. Russia claimed to avoid actions incompatible with treaty while US observation proceeds. Tass and Pravda had signaled no tests cited under pact would be conducted while the US adhered to it.
