First Test Cloud Passes Over East WASHINGTON (AP) -- Dr. Lester Machta, a government fallout expert, said today the cloud of radioactive debris from the first of four recent Russian nuclear tests has passed over Western Canada and is expected to cross the northern United States by this weekend. Machta, a U.S. weather bu- reau official, said the cloud passed in a generally easterly direction from the central Asian detonation site -- spanning the Asian mainland, then crossing the Bering Sea. It crossed all of Alaska Mon- day and Tuesday and at the same time went over Western Machta estimated that by Thursday, the cloud passed over Montana, Washington, Idaho and northern Nevada and the southern part of Canada. Thereafter, he forecasts, it will move east over at least the northern half of the U.S. By Sunday, it should begin passing over the Atlantic toward Eu- rope: Machta said he could not es- timate when debris from the three later tests would reach Canada and the United States. Some fallout will reach the earth wherever the radioactive cloud passes over--and will con- tinue to as the cloud keeps cir- Canada. cling the earth. |thing in his pocket.
