Contributions To The Ims As Part Of The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty: A Primary Seismological Station For Southern Africa

A group of scientists formed during the United Nations Conference on Disarmament<br>initiated an international network of seismological stations as part of an experimental<br>monitoring system. The expectations of this system are to be able to register<br>explosions, especially nuclear ones, and thus to act as a monitoring device for a future<br>comprehensive test ban treaty. South Africa is one of the 60 countries involved in<br>such an experiment, and supports stations in Boshof , Sutherland and Antarctica.
