...already filtering into the AEC, but Seaborg and his colleagues will be picking up clues for weeks to come before they get the detailed answers as to what the Soviet Union actually tested and accomplished. Known is the fact that Russian tests at three different sites-northern and southern Novaya Zemlya and Semipalatinsk in the Soviet Arctic-have totaled more than 110 megatons of yield, bringing the total Russian test yield to date to about 160 megatons v. 125 megatons from known U.S. and British tests since 1946. The Soviet tests ranged from about 10 kilotons (10,000 tons...
...fallout from Russia's 30-megaton bomb drifted eastward from Novaya Zemlya last week, few governments acted so elaborately unconcerned as the satellite regimes. But Eastern Europe's people showed their alarm by buying up prodigious quantities of table salt in the widespread (and erroneous) belief that a salt rub is the best protection against radioactivity...
After a few days delay to conceal the workings of their detection systems, U.S. authorities began last week to release a few details about the 30-megaton nuclear test in the Soviet Arctic. A 30-megaton explosion is not easy to hide. The island of Novaya Zemlya adjoins the international waters of the Barents Sea, and U.S. airplanes were presumably cruising near the Soviet test range. U.S. submarines were probably watching through periscopes, just as Russian submarines keep track of U.S. rocket shots from Cape Canaveral.

The dark clouds gathering above Berlin, the deadly mushrooms sprouting above the Siberian testing ground at Novaya Zemlya all combined to give some journalists the visible shakes. Many a pundit, in fact, seemed to be out of touch with the national mood, which was one of determination in the face of freshening danger (see THE NATION...
...attack at a point chosen well in advance. U.S. intelligence officers had warned only the month before that such an incident was imminent. On that clear day last summer, the RB-47 carrying Olmstead, McKone and their companions flew into a well-laid ambush somewhere west of Novaya Zemlya in the Barents...
