Detecting the Bomb examines how the United States developed the
seismic component of the U.S. Atomic Energy Detection System. What
led leaders of Western and Eastern nations to the realization that
a nuclear test ban could be of mutual interest? Why did the USSR
insist that underground explosions could be adequately
distinguished from earthquakes and safely monitored without
verification systems on their territory, and why did the United
States vigorously disagree? Dr. Romney will answer these questions
while laying out the principles of scientific detection and
reliable discrimination. One of the nation's leading seismologists,
Dr. Romney describes the development of methods for detecting
nuclear explosions, and their effect on nuclear test ban
negotiations from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s. Carl Romney
cites important details from early scientific studies, and explains
how seismology formed the crux of the diplomatic debate in the
early nuclear age.
