Analysis of seismic data for the Rio Blanco explosion. Technical report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4026259
Seismic analysis of RIO BLANCO, an underground nuclear explosion for gas stimulation, was performed using LRSM, LPE, and array recordings. Although a multiple detonation, RIO BLANCO was similar to other western U. S. shots and especially RULISON, another gas-stimulation explosion 55 km away. Magnitude- yield relations, shear generation, and spectral content of RIO BLANCO were not untypical for underground explosions. A source function which includes p(P) and P(spall) was inferred from the seismic data. An accurate location was obtained for RIO BLANCO using travel-time anomalies for RULISON. (GRA)
