Download or read book Seismic Effects from a High Yield Nuclear Cratering Experiment in Desert Alluvium written by W. V. Mickey and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SEDAN was a thermonuclear cratering experiment with a yield of about 100 kt detonated at a depth of 660 feet and resulting in a crater of maximum apparent depth of 320 feet and average apparent diameter of about 1200 feet. About 7.5 million cubic yards of earth and rock were displaced. Transitory earth particle motions were on an average twice as large from stations on deep alluvial deposits compared to those on shallow deposits at the same distance. Computed seismic energy was about 2.45 x 10 to the 18th power ergs, equivalent to a local earthquake magnitude of 4.75. This indicates that 0.06 percent of the total source energy was converted to seismic energy. Frequency analysis revealed spectral peaks near 1 cps. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project DANNYBOY was a 430 ton nuclear cratering explosion in basalt. The Coast and Geodetic Survey measured surface earth motions in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration at 12 locations from 760 meters to 340 kilometers from surface zero. Multiple regression of maximum earth particle displacements and accelerations from DANNYBOY and four other cratering explosions are given. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiochemical analyses were performed on fallout and particulate cloud samples. A few tenths of a percent of the non-volatile fission products and 10-20% of the more volatile species were vented. A large fraction of the non-volatile products fell out within 10 miles, whereas the major portion of the volatile products did not. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Core samples from all three holes examined thusly over 1-ft intervals revealed these microfractures to occur consistently at points 35-38 ft radially from the shot point. A radius of 36+2 feet is therefore assigned to the explosion cavity. The true crater (cavity) surface is a hemisphere radially symmetrical about the shot point at depths below approximately 110 ft. Fixing this radius relative to calculated cavity expansion curves and to the probable time of venting aids in the understanding of history and mechanisms of cavity growth, from which speculative treatments of the behavior of rock and water vapors in the growing cavity and of a possible origin of vesiculated glass found in the crater throwout rubble have been developed.
