Nuclear blast
The United States Atomic Energy Commission has announced that it recorded signals believed to have come from a Soviet Union underground nuclear test on Tuesday, the second in two days. The seismic signals originated in the Southern Urals area, and were equivalent to a nuclear explosion in the range of 20 to 200 kilotons, or between 20,000 and 200,000 tons of T.N.T. This was the same range as the signals on Monday, which were the first recorded this year. Washington, March 25.
