The CABOC event was detonated in hole U2cp of the Nevada Test Site as indicated. The CABOC device had a depth-of-burial (DOB) of 335 m in the Paintbrush Tuffs of area 2, about 200 m above the Paleozoic formation and 260 m above the standing water level, as shown. Stemming of the 2.44 m diameter emplacement hole followed the plan shown in figure 1.4. A log of the stemming operations was maintained by Holmes & Narver. Detonation time was 13:05 PST on December l, 1981, and subsurface collapse progressed to a depth of between 37 and 77 m at about 57 minutes after the detonation. No radiation arrivals were detected above ground and the CABOC containment was considered successful.
