imates for the precise yield range from 4.4 to 5.2 megatons or 18 to 22 PJ). The ground lifted 20
feet (6 m), caused by an explosive force almost 400 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb
Subsidence and faulting at the site created a new lake, over a mile wide The explosion caused a
seismic shock of 7.0 on the Richter scale, causing rockfalls and turf slides of a total of 35,000
square feet
