SANTHANAM 2 LAST

Claiming that they could only manage yield of 20 to 25 KT
as against expected 45 KT during the thermonuclear (TN) test,
Santhanam said "no crater was formed......if you look at the
seismic data recorded by the DRDO instruments, which worked
beautifully, you can tell that the 45 KT yield didn't happen."

Advocating resumption of nuclear tests, he said, "if the
opportunity arises we should consider resuming tests....If you
ask me, I think the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty will be
pursued with much vigour by the new US administration. The
window of opportunity is available now." PTI PYK
