A Mining/Contained Explosion Source Phenomenology Experiment to Improve Nuclear Test Monitoring

[摘要] We propose an experiment to investigate the similarities and differences in source phenomenology and regional seismic discriminant behavior between normal production mining explosions and fully contained nuclear tests. The experiment would consist of a minimum of two large, nearly co-located explosions, which would be recorded at regional distances: (1) a normal delay fired production mining explosion, and (2) a single chemical explosion contained and buried at underground nuclear test depth.
