Russian Cratering Tests.

Abstract

Crater dimensions and general geologic conditions are described for 15 nuclear explosive tests conducted at the Semipalatlnsk Test Site. For the 6 buried excavation tests, high-speed dome photographic results are presented. For the 12 near surface bursts, ejecta data are presented. In addition, an analytical model similar to the Z-model and related small-scale (modelling) crater data are discussed. (MM)
