U.S. Fires Largest Underground Explosion
ATOMIC TEST SITE—(UPI) The most powerful underground explosion ever fired by man, a "Hiroshima" sized nuclear device, was touched off today beneath a lonely desert mesa and recorded on scores of seismographs in the United States and Canada.
The shot rumbled like an earthquake across the test site near Las Vegas, Nev., with the force of 20,000 tons of TNT, 850 feet beneath the earth's surface. Experts said it may have been read around the world.
as a magnitude of 4.75 to 5 on the richter scale used to measure earthquake.
The University of California seismograph at Berkeley, Calif., read it
"That's a pretty good-sized shock," said seismologist Dr. Don Tocher.
The quake that wrought some damage to San Francisco last year was slightly on the plus side of 5.
