Ministers condemn French nuclear test in South Pacific
Australian and New Zealand foreign ministers stated they believed France conducted an atmospheric nuclear test in the South Pacific on Monday June 26. They deplored the act, urged compliance with the partial test ban, and urged France to halt further tests while noting no official confirmation from Paris. A BC report suggested the first device yielded about 330 tons TNT equivalent.
