Abstract

Of the five first Chinese nuclear test explosions, No. 3 and No. 5 detonated on May 9, 1966, and December 28, 1966, respectively, have been the most powerful. According to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission1 both explosions were in the lower end of the intermediate range, that is, they corresponded to a few hundred kilotons of TNT.
