The facts on the card

- Test: Simon Time: 12:30 25 April 1953 04:30 25 April 1953 Location: Nevada Test Site, Area 1 Test height and type: 300 feet tower Yield: 43 kt The mass of radioactive material in the mushroom cloud did not disperse as expected, but stayed in a small volume of atmosphere as it traveled eastward.
- Finally, a couple of days later it became entrained in a severe thunderstorm over New York's Capital District, and most of the radioactive material washed out over a fairly small region.
