Understanding underground tests and decoupling effects
The article discusses how magnitude scales relate to blast strength, noting underground tests can decouple energy to reduce surface effects. It cites Dr. Press on detection limits, shadow zones, and long range monitoring, plus calls for continued research and on site inspections despite Soviet objections.
