(Vi Saturday, Nov. 5, the AEC announced that in a test tltw was a detonation of low expletive explet-ive force. A i: (.' further reported I hat "the test created no radio -logical problem." , The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Lab-oratory has now concluded lh first phase of te previously a.n-j a.n-j turn need series of experiments to determine the safety of vark.u-. weapons and experimental devices de-vices in event of accidents or fir ing during handling or storage.
