Debris Particles from the Second Chinese Nuclear Bomb Test

Abstract

ON May 14, 1965, the Chinese exploded their second nuclear bomb (Hsinhua News Agency, May 14, 1965). Debris first appeared over Sweden in an upper-air sample on May 24, 1965, which was also the strongest sample we collected from this test. Soon after, debris particles were also found in ground air (some of them stronger and larger than the strongest upper-air-borne ones).
