U.S. WILL SI T OFF
BLAST IN ATMOSPHHRH
AT NFVADA TEST SITE
LAS VEGAS, Ncv. Wl — The
Atomic Energy Commission an
nounced yesterday the first atmos
pheric blast since 1958 at the Ne
vada test site will be detonated on
or after Saturday.
The AEC said the detonation will
be a low-yield nuclear device a
few feet above the ground.
The detonation has been author
ized so the Department of Defense
can conduct varied experiments to
analyze the effects of nuclear ex
plosions the AEC said.
The Nevada test site will be
closed to the public and news re
presentatives will not be allowed
to watch the blast. The AEC said.
Most of the radioactive particles
produced by the detonation are ex
pected to fall back to earth within
a few miles of the shot point, the
AEC said.
The Nevada lest site is about 65
miles north of Las Vegas.
Radiological monitoring will be
conducted at distances up to 300
miles from the shot point to ob
tain information on the limits of
detectability of the radioactivity,
the AEC said.
The last nuclear blast set off
above ground at the Nevada test
site was Oct. 30, 1958. It was of
1.25 kiloton yield and was deton
ated at 1,500 feet suspended from
a balloon.
It was George Bernard Shaw
who observed, “ a perpetual holi
day is a good working definition
of‘hell.”

Museum and escaped with dia
monds and other precious stones
: valued at §50,000, police said yes

Dr. Clifford Frondel, curator of
the minerology section, said the
loot would “have little value to a
; gem cutter.’’ He said the gems
had great scientific value, especial
ly an 84-carat uncut yellow dia
mond.
Earlier unofficial estimates
