Rusk Questions Soviet Nuclear Test After Radioactivity Detected
Secretary of State Dean Rusk summoned Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin to seek a full explanation of a Soviet nuclear test on Jan. 15 near Semipalatinsk in eastern Russia. US air samples showed radioactive debris over the northern Pacific near Japan, a potential treaty violation, though officials urged caution pending further details. The fallout is deemed not to threaten health, but politically it raises concerns about the 1963 test ban and its future.
