Project VELA Seismic Array Aims to Detect Underground Tests
In a Pentagon vicinity Bill Dean and 30 Teledyne scientists develop Project VELA Uniform a fast seismic system to identify underground disturbances. It can locate and measure quakes within seconds aiding differentiation between natural events and nuclear tests. Pentagon funding nears 275 million since 1980.

Seismic VELA System Testing Analyzed At Norway Lab
In Norway a new array feeds a blue box signals into a speed-up computer and then a second system that detects tremors and measures direction. Dean and team test the VELA system not quake monitoring, storing tremor lists on magnetic tabs for later analysis. Seismologists assess detection of weak shocks from distant events to distinguish earthquakes from nuclear explosions.
