New evidence of acoustic effects of radiation impacts in deep wells

Abstract

Passive seismic observations were performed in the Vorotolovskaya deep well in Nizhny Novgorod oblast at a depth of 1400 m and in a well in the vicinity of Ufa at a depth of 500 m. Observations show significantly different acoustic impulse fluxes in these wells: hundreds per second in the Vorotilovskaya deep well and only few impulses per day in the Ufa well. It is supposed that it is the geological conditions that determine the character of seismoacoustic signals. A seismic observation technique is proposed for further studies of acoustic manifestations of radiation fields.
