The Atomic Energy Commission said the first of Sunday's explosions in the atmosphere was "on the order of several megatons" an explosive 'force equivalent to several million tons of Although it was by far the largest fired since the Soviet Union resumed testing 11 days ago, the blast was a long, way from the 100-megaton level which Soviet Premier Khrushchev has boasted the Soviets will reach. The second nuclear device, fired later in the day on the same Arctic island as the first, was reported to be "in the low to intermediate kiloton range."
