Innovative Nevada Experiments Enhance Detection of Nuclear Explosions Worldwide
Las Vegas, Nevada – In 2023, an experiment involving a chemical explosion in a Nevada desert tunnel marked the beginning of a series of experiments conducted by the National Nuclear Security Administration. The aim of these experiments is to enhance the detection capabilities of low-yield nuclear explosions worldwide. Physics Experiment 1-A (PE1-A) is the initial phase of a sequence of non-nuclear experiments. These experiments involve comparing computer simulations with data acquired from underground explosions and …
