An atomic test device failed to detonate due to a power failure at a Nevada test site. Officials quickly dispatched two five man teams to the 500 foot detonating tower to disarm the weapon. About 2,600 Marines and 150 others watched as the device was secured and the troops moved back to Camp Desert Rock. The AEC described the nondetonation as the morning outcome of the maneuver.
