Preliminary Summary Report on MILROW

Abstract

This report presents a preliminary evaluation of the seismic data for the nuclear explosion MILROW which was available at the Seismic Data Laboratory on 10 December 1969. MILROW is the name given to the large underground nuclear explosion, reported yield of about one megaton, detonated on Amchitka Island in the Aleutians at 22:06:00.04Z, 2 October 1969 (Table I). This analysis includes location determinations, amplitude, and magnitude estimates for MILROW and compares them to the results for LONG SHOT, an 80 kiloton explosion.
