THE NEPTUNE EVENT--A NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVE CRATERING EXPERIMENT
The Neptune device was detonated underground in a room approximately 12 x 17 x 10 ft, at the end of a hooked drift. The yield was 115 plus or minus 15 tons. The shot and its effects are described and the major contributions of the data to the theory and prediction of cratering phenomenology are indicated. (W.D.M.)
