Seismic source summary for U. S. underground nuclear explosions, 1961-1970

LAWRENCE RADIATION LABORATORY, LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
U.S. ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Abstract

A summary of information is presented for all announced U. S. underground nuclear explosions detonated during the 1961-1970 time period. The data include detonation times, locations, and depths of burial, as well as information about shot media and surface collapse (subsidence) phenomena. This summary is intended to furnish all available source data for studies of seismic sources, as well as studies of seismic transmission characteristics of the Earth.
