Abstract:

The DARPA report, A Technical Assessment of Seismic Yield Estimation, is a review of the state of current understanding of important technical issues relating to the seismic estimation of the yield of underground nuclear explosions. In preparing this review, contributions were solicited from selected government, university, and industry scientists who responded with summaries of their assessment of the state of knowledge in those areas with which they were most familiar. These contributions are collected in this Appendix.
