<!--QuoteBegin-gangajal+Nov 16 2009, 06:21 PM-->QUOTE(gangajal @ Nov 16 2009, 06:21 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->The information that the TN S1 shaft was only 120 m deep is even more worrying. This is because there was no crater in S1 while the 25 kt A bomb created a 25 m diameter crater at S2. I am assuming that the S2 was about 100 m deep. The implication is that the S1 TN yield must have been considerably less than 25 kt. I don't see why Santhanam and ARC are saying that the S1 yield was 20 kts when there was no crater and the A-frame was intact in S1.
This adds to the puzzle!

Is it possible for ~20 kt to produce a retarc in 120m if it was in granite "pink" or otherwise?
i.e it behaved as an overburied device for that shaft and that yield?
They say S2 was ~ 150m and 25kt and produced a 25m radius crater.
