On April 2, 1954, shocked by Bravo fallout, Prime Minister Nehru of India called for a test moratorium. His plea led the Eisenhower Administration briefly to consider halting nuclear weapon tests, but the Administration which wanted to preserve America's technical lead over the Russians could find no way to enforce such a test ban. Increasingpublic concern about the Bravo Fallout put presure upon the Commission to release "the facts" about fallout. Wishing to inform the American people about fallout, the Cammission released "A Report by the United States Atomic Energy Commission on the Effects of High Yield Nuclear Explosions" on February 15, 1955. In it the Commission not only explained Bravo fallout but also discussed fallout from Nevada tests.
