Dynamic Brazilian tension (DBR) tests from core hole U-15n are part of a larger material characterization effort for the Source Physics Experiment (SPE) project. This larger effort encompasses characterizing Climax Stock granite rock from the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) both before and after each SPE shot. The current test series includes DBR tests on dry intact granite and fault material at depths of -85 and -150 ft.
