were based on geophysical data, since the radiochemical methods are not

applicable in the presence of high energy neutrons.

The spread of

“estimates was: acoustic, 75~310-1700 KT; seismic, 250-1500~3600 KT;
mean, with the acoustic data weighted 5:1, 100-500-2000 KT. (The extreme
figures are lower and upper limits, the central figure the most probable

value.)
