1951 fall test ends as US leads in atomic blasts
LAS VEGAS Nov 30 The Atomic Energy Commission and the Army wrapped up the 1951 fall test series with a final blast. It was the seventh and least spectacular in the run begun Oct 22, unofficially the 27th atomic explosion in history. Test data were billed as crucial to military security by AEC scientific director Dr Alvin Graves. The finale may have been underground, witnessed by Gen Lawton Collins and Congressional observers. Troops from Lamp Desert Rock joined for the last test to outline positions and test effects on structures while animals had been tested earlier.
