Out at the Nevada Test Site, near Mercury Nevada are a few craters. In 1962 as part of a nuclear testing program called plowshare this huge hole was created, known as the Sedan crater. They buried a 104 kiloton thermonuclear device 635 feet below the ground. The resulting crater was 1280 feet across and 320 feet deep. The plowshare program was halted in the bid 1970's because of disappointing results and the inability to contain the radioactivity.
