Seismic DAS Observations of a large underground chemical explosion in dry tuff!
On 18 October 2023 a 16.3-ton TNT equivalent chemical explosion was detonated underground at the Nevada National Security Site, generating a seismic event (Meyers et al., 2024). www.osti.gov/servlets/pur...

Today in 1949, the US Atomic Energy Commission and US Air Force conducted a secret experiment at the Hanford Reservation in Washington State, exposing thousands of people living downwind to dangerous levels of radioactive iodine-131 and xenon-133 from freshly-irradiated or “green” uranium fuel.

Today anniversary of world first controlled nuclear reactor CP-1. I’ve always found the history fascinating Reading how Enrico Fermi raced the reactor w/ his slide rule to predict next energy event is extremely riveting! Superb physics

Today in 1958, a B-47 on ground alert at Chennault Air Force Base, Louisiana, carrying a sealed-pit hydrogen bomb containing no plutonium, caught fire when the Jet-Assisted Take-Off (JATO) bottles accidentally discharged during the pilot’s acceptance check, pushing the plane into a towing vehicle.

As I get closer to the launch of my new book, THE MOST AWFUL RESPONSIBILITY, I have started to really in earnest update some pages relating to it. Here is one that contains photos relating to the book — some well-known, some unusual/rare. alexwellerstein.com/writing/book...
