Atom Detection

BY WILLIAM HINES

Results Of q test atom bomb
explosion a year ago had much
to do with American re-

proposal for nuclear test
surveillance.
Soviet negotiators at Geneva
suggested the emplacement Of
tamper-proof earthquake de-
tectors as an alternative to
actual "eyeball" inspection of
atomic events. They contended
such devices would yield all the
information needed for check
ing on observance Of an under
ground atom test ban.
Experience in the "Gnome"
underground test in New
Mexico did much to convince
American experts that the
Soviet plan was far from
foolproof.
Here is what was done on
that occasion. and what was
learned:
Gnome was the code name fol
