Khrushchev Confirms Huge Nuclear Blast In India
Russian premier Khrushchev told an Indian audience that Moscow detonated a maximum strength nuclear device equalling one million tons of TNT. The U S Atomic Energy Commission noted the blast resembled a hydrogen bomb test and referenced previous Soviet and American tests dating back to 1949 and into 1955. Khrushchev said Russia aims to end the cold war and pledged not to use such weapons against cities or villages. The remarks came as US and Soviet tests were publicly reported and contrasted with later American hydrogen bomb yields of 15 to 17 million tons.
