DEALING WITH “PROBLEM” OR “ANOMALOUS” EVENTS IN THE USSR AND RUSSIAN REPUBLIC: 1972–2009

A debate started in 1972 and lasted until 2009 about the identification of so-called problem or anomalous seismic events that some people believed to be difficult to identify. Occasional problem events such as these, which are likely to occur about once a year, require more detailed examination than most earthquakes do. The following examples illustrate that with special studies, all of them through at least 2009 can be identified as earthquakes. I pay particular attention in this chapter to very small seismic events near the Russian test site on Novaya Zemlya, several of which the U.S. government claimed were either nuclear explosions or possible explosions.
