AEC Doubts Snow Radioactivity From Nevada Test Burst
LAS VEGAS NEV AM The Atomic Energy Commission doubts radioactive snow in Riverton Wyoming came from last Saturday's Nevada test. An AEC spokesman said the cloud drifted west and that the eastbound portion reaching Riverton is doubtful. Lawrence Gibson reported snow radioactivity about 30 times normal, with meters at 300 counts versus 10 to 12 background. An AEC official cautioned counts could be milliroentgens or fractions. Clouds from large tests can travel worldwide, and some scientists warn radioactivity may accumulate during ongoing tests near Las Vegas.
