Second Atom Test Readied for Tuesday
The second test of the nuclear series was moved to Tuesday morning after an Atomic Energy Commission weather briefing. They planned a big predawn shot at Yucca Flat if weather stays favorable, with a smaller backup shot under the dual capability plan. If the big shot goes, Camp Desert Rock soldiers will trench about 4,000 yards from ground zero for Exercise Desert Rock VI. The scheduled 840-foot tower shot may be equal to the final 1953 shot, potentially 50 kilotons, up to 234 times the power of the original A bomb.
