Full-Scale Atomic Test Jolts Nevada Desert AEC
The Atomic Energy Commission detonated the second full scale test of its Nevada desert series at Yucca Flat. Observers felt a sharp shock wave and watched a 6:03 am blast send a radioactive cloud toward California as scientists study radiation shielding and soil effects near the detonation. The shot named Mova produced an hourglass fireball and a pressure of 18 millibars, with a next test planned for Friday at 5:10 am over Yucca Flat using a different measurement setup.
