Rock, melted by the explosion and lining the interior of the cavity, will flow down the walls, forming a pool at the bottom that will solidify into a glassy mass containing as much as 90% of the radioactive products of the A-blast.

American Motors Corp. also had increased sales-mostly because its new Javelin specialty cars were hitting the mark.
