Assortment of Atomic Bombs Now Available
The first phase of the Atomic Energy Commission Fall test series at Yucca Flat ended with a large A bomb explosion. Test Manager Carrol L. Tyler and chief Alvin Graves announced multiple experiments in the set of five blasts, each differing in appearance and yield. The massive blast produced a 10 second fireball and shock waves felt miles away, yet no damage or dangerous radiation was reported. The project aims to advance Los Alamos weapons work, with a second phase focusing on the effects of weapons.
