Yucca Flat Bomb Craters

Color enhanced image of the North end of Yucca Flat at the Nevada National Security Site. Most underground nuclear tests were conducted in this valley, leaving visible evidence on the surface in the form of subsidence craters in varying dimensions. Subsidence craters are depressions on the surface that occur when the roof of the blast cavity collapses into the void left by the explosion. Yucca Flat is a closed desert drainage basin, one of four major nuclear test regions within the Nevada Test Site (NTS), and is divided into nine test sections. Yucca Flat was the site for 739 nuclear tests and has been called "the most irradiated, nuclear-blasted spot on the face of the earth".
