Use of large cavities to reduce seismic waves from underground explosions
Analysis of experiment designed to test theory of seismic decoupling of underground explosions; amplitude of seismic signal from 1.7 kiloton nuclear explosion in hole in salt was calculated and compared with measured value from 1.7 kt Rainer shot in tuff at same distance; decoupling factor of about 300 resulted; seismic data were obtained primarily at ranges of 14,000 and 22,000 ft and frequencies of 10 to 30 cps.
