Russian experts develop methods for tracking nuclear tests in connection with the advent of more advanced technologies abroad, allowing to conceal nuclear explosions, RIA Novosti reported to the chief of the special inspection services (SSC) Russian Defense Ministry Colonel Igor Tokarev.
Tokarev recalled, that "in accordance with the Treaty on banning nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere, outer space and under water country, nuclear weapon, They began to spend only underground nuclear explosions, that can be detected only by means of seismic monitoring ".
Secretly conduct such tests technically easier, and development in this area has improved and, he said.
According to Colonel, are used, eg, such opportunities, as "the greatest possible reduction in the power of nuclear weapons, that an increase in the accuracy of their delivery does not affect their combat effectiveness; testing in geological formations, reducing the rate of formation of seismic waves; Bookmarks increased depth of charge to avoid the possibility of the release of radioactive products ".
tests can also be performed in a seismically active areas, where the background of the natural tectonic processes (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) recognition of the nature of the seismic source (his identification) it becomes difficult scientific and practical task, which is solved Service specialists, possess unique knowledge and experience, Tokarev told.
he noted, that "the improvement of scientific nuclear tests control methods is carried out by the Research Center of Special Control '.
According to Tokarev, Besides, develop "new special methods to control any nuclear activity, and as a model used geophysical sources of natural origin, earthquake, in particular, and explosions of conventional explosives ".
