Rusk cites three Berlin incidents in protest
Secretary of State Dean Rusk told reporters on a return trip that the United States had loud objections over three Berlin incidents. He did not specify the protests but noted they involved a wounded British chauffeur, Soviet scatterings of metallic snow to jam radar, and increased Soviet air corridor use. Western diplomats feared a provocation aimed at triggering a Western response and a possible walkout from Berlin air safety coordination. Izvestia renewed Khrushchev threats to sign a separate peace treaty with East Germany that would affect supply lines to West Berlin, a plan Washington has rejected. Rusk planned to press Moscow again on the proposed international control of the Wes Germany to West Berlin lines, which Moscow has rejected.

Experts note the waste from atomic reactors will be low level and manageable with safeguards, though the oceanic rise in radioactivity over time is debated.
