The Atomic Energy Commission detonated the most powerful device this summer at the Nevada test site at 6 30 a m in daylight aboard a 700 foot helium balloon. It was the 50th detonation since tests began here and the fifth in the current series. The blast was felt 160 miles away in Tonopah and Bishop.
