Download or read book Monitoring Underground Nuclear Explosions written by Ola Dahlman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring Underground Nuclear Explosions focuses on the checking of underground nuclear explosions, including the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTB), seismological stations, earthquake-source models, and seismicity. The publication first elaborates on test-ban negotiations, nuclear explosions, seismological background, and explosions and earthquakes as seismic sources. Concerns cover comparison between explosion-source and earthquake-source models, theoretical calculation of seismic waves, earth structure, seismicity, nuclear test activities, bomb designs, and disarmament treaties. The manuscript then tackles seismological stations, detection, event definition and location, depth estimation, and identification. Topics include multistation discriminants, statistical aspects, long-period and short-period signals, near distances, location by a network of stations, international data exchange, station detection capabilities, and station networks. The book examines the monitoring of a comprehensive test-ban treaty, nonseismological identification, evasion, peaceful nuclear explosions, and yield estimation. The text is a dependable reference for researchers interested in the monitoring of underground nuclear explosions.

Download or read book Body Wave Magnitudes and Locations of French Underground Explosions at the Mururoa Test Site written by P. D. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1975 the French have conducted underground nuclear weapon tests beneath the Mururoa atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago in the Southern Pacific. A least squares joint estimate of origin time and epicentre together with a least squares joint estimate of magnitude is presented for presumed explosions in this area. These are based on data taken from bulletins of the International Seismological Centre. Some seismograms, recorded in Canada, are included to illustrate the nature of the P waves from these presumed explosions. (Author).
Download or read book Yields of Underground Nuclear Explosions at Azgir and Shagan River USSR and Implications for Identifying Decoupled Nuclear Testing in Salt written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bodywave magnitudes, mb, are recomputed using station corrections for all known Soviet underground nuclear explosions at Shagan River and Azgir. The mb values for explosions of announced yield, Y, in various parts of the world in either hard rock or below the water table were normalized to the SW part of the Shagan River testing area using previously published values of t* and mb bias. The resulting relationship, mb = 4.48 + 0.79 logY, which includes yields published by Bocharov et al. (1989) for Shagan River, differs very little from a regression that does not include those data. Using magnitudes determined from Lg at NORSAR as a standard, the Shagan River site is divided into three subareas. Yields calculated from these revised mb values and from m(Lg) are much more consistent for the same explosion; each agrees closely with the yields published by Bocharov et al. for large explosions in 1971 and 1972 in the NE and SW parts of the testing area. Yields calculated by averaging determinations from Lg and body waves for 66 explosions have a high precision at 95% confidence (mean value 1. 14) for Y> 10 kt. The explosion of 23 July 1973 of Y = 193 kt is clearly the largest underground explosion at Shagan River. The newly calculated values provide strong evidence of clustering in the distribution of yields of Soviet tests. In a special study yields of Soviet nuclear explosions, nuclear tests in salt, decoupling, evasion.

Download or read book Path Corrected Body wave Magnitudes and Yield Estimates of Novaya Zemlya Explosions written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with an extensive data set of worldwide explosions recorded at WWSSN, teleseismic short-period body-wave amplitudes from 28 Novaya Zemlya explosions are measured and analyzed to isolate the propagation characteristics and to derive a better measure of the source size. The separation of path effects from station effects provides direct clues as to how an old fold-belt structure (like Novaya Zemlya) could modulate the short-period P-wave amplitude and travel-time patterns. A strong correlation between P-wave amplitude and L sub g detection at teleseismic distance is also observed. Assuming the basic coupling and the mantle condition at Novaya Zemlya are comparable to those at Eastern Kazakhstan, the m sub b bias relative to NTS at 50KT level using the path-corrected m sub b(P sub max) values is inferred as 0.25 and 0.36 magnitude unit for Novaya Zemlya and Semipalatinsk, respective The m sub b(P sub max) bias of 0.11 between Semipalatinsk and Novaya Zemlya could be largely due to the difference in pP interference at these two test sites. The relative source size determined by Burger et al. (1986) and the theoretical psi infinity:yield scaling are combined to extrapolate our m sub b scaling to the higher end. The resulting yield estimates range from 2 to 2100 KT, with peak values of 550 KT and 65 KT before and after 1976, respectively, which are in reasonable agreement with those in previous studies.
