Summary of Seismic Discrimination and Explosion Yield Determination Research

Abstract

This report summarizes the work accomplished in a twenty-four month research program directed toward resolution of technical issues arising in the seismic verification of an underground nuclear test ban treaty. Emphasis is on research conducted during the last year in five subject areas: data analysis, source studies, grout experiments, surface wave studies and body wave studies. Results are summarized for thirteen research projects. The report also includes an appendix in which abstracts are listed for seventeen technical reports submitted under this contract. Also included are the abstracts for twelve reports submitted under a preceding fifteen month contract.
