At one time, in the "good old days", there were some huge cavern rippers.  Most
test now are fairly small yield.  Maybe 200-400 metres diameter, 300 or metres
high, due to debris on the floor.  All this is guess work based on previously
published.

Implication comes from what?

As a matter of fact ...

Yup, depends on what they want to test.  This is one way of doing "atmospheric"
testing.

Attention alt.conspiracy fans:
In 1980, we accidentally blew a 1200 km diameter hole in the center of the
earth.  This result in the Mt. St. Helens eruption and the increased seismic
activity since then.  This is the real coverup, not some NASA coverup about the
moon being bigger than it is   :-)  do I need it?
