The next underground test was Teapot Ess, on 23 March 1955. [10] The one-kiloton explosion was an operational test of an 'Atomic Demolition Munition' (ADM). [15] It was detonated 67 ft (20 m) underground, in a shaft lined with corrugated steel, which was then back-filled with sandbags and dirt. [16]
A subsidence crater is a hole or depression left on the surface of an area which has had an underground (usually nuclear) explosion. Many such craters are commonly present at bomb testing areas; one notable example is the Nevada Test Site , which was historically used for nuclear weapons testing over a period of 41 years.
Subsidence frequently causes major problems in karst terrains, where dissolution of limestone by fluid flow in the subsurface creates voids (i.e., caves).If the roof of a void becomes too weak, it can collapse and the overlying rock and earth will fall into the space, causing subsidence at the surface.
