The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War criticized the Reagan Administration for failing to observe a nuclear weapons test ban. At the same time, the doctors’ group, ending a four-day congress in Cologne, West Germany, praised the Soviet Union for continuing to observe its moratorium on nuclear weapons tests. Co-chairmen Bernard Lown of the United States and Yevgeny I. Chazov of the Soviet Union said their anti-nuclear cause has gained impetus from the Chernobyl reactor disaster in the Ukraine, which they said highlighted the dangers of radiation.
