...diameter. The next shot, Teapot-Ess, had the same yield, but it was placed deeper and it dug a deeper and wider crater. With these and other shots, Ploughshare scientists built up a body of theory and experience in which they have great confidence. Latest and largest cratering shots, Sedan (100 kilotons) and Danny Boy (400 kilotons), were fired in 1962 and proved that the Ploughshare rules for nuclear explosives work just as well in hard, heavy rock as in loose soil...
