Table 5. Water levels, underground tests, and associated test and hole parameters used to determine general position of test relative to the water table

[All depths referenced to land-surface datum. Altitude relative to sea level. Working point is depth at which nuclear device is detonated. Dashes indicate missing or non applicable parameter. Sources are U.S. Department of Energy (1994) and classified listing of test parameters (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, written commun., 1991, 1992)]
