U.S.S.R. exploded 55- to 60-megaton nuclear device as per Khrushchev's promise to the 22d Communist Party Congress. White House release later in the day pointed out that this Soviet explosion would "produce more radioactive fallout than any previous explosion. The Soviet explosion was a political rather than a military act."
