Sag* ■ DUNN, N%, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1951~ H-Bomb Trigger Tests Reljrted As Successful WASHINGTON, May 25- OP) —The government today announce successful com pletion of atorryjbtests at En iwetok “contributing” t o hydrogen supfef|- bomb re search. The Atomic Energp, Commission and Defense Deportment in a Joint announcement Said they have no tified President Truman that: “A program of atomic weapons tests has been succedafully carried oulf by Joint Task Force 8 at the commission’s proving ground at Eniwetok Atoll,” The announcement said informa tion obtained at Eniwetok on atomic weapons “is secret.” hut It added: “In furtherance of the president's announcement of Jan, 31, 1950, the test urogram. includjkT experiments cont;lbuting to thermonuclear weapons research.” # The president’s Jan. 31, 1950, an nouncement was an order directing the AEC to proceed with develop ment of a super bomb which, scientists have said, thoretlcally could be made 1,000 times more powerful than, the A-bomb. GREAT HEAT REQUIRED The H-bomb IS called a “therm ' onuclear” weapon because it re quires great heat to “fuse” hydro gen atoms in an explosive huclear reaction. The announcement did not state that a test model H-bomb actually was exploded at Eniwetok. It Is believed, however, that the com mission has produced enough H bomb explosive In the past year to make a test detonation. But the “experiments contri buting to” H-bomb research may have consisted in test blasts of A bomb “triggers” for the super wea pon. The prime Ingredient of the H-- bomb would be. triple-weight hydro gen called ‘itrittum ” To trigger It requires high temperatures which can be produMfl on earth only by exploding eonVe'ntlpnal A-bombs.*’ to2§um or uranlum-235 A-bomb specially designed for trigtelng the tritium of an H-bomb. Whatever it was, It was “suc cessfully carried out,” the announ cement said. The H-bomb experiments were not the only ones carried out in the spring test series completed earlier this month. The announcement said “the program also included comprehen sive measurement of blast and thermal effects on structures, air craft. and various other items.” Much of this information will be made public later for use by the Civil Defense agency 'and the De fense Department.
