Lots of cool material posted recently! It really surprised me when he was touting how 'clean' it was, being only equivalent to a 2kT blast , because I'd always thought of this shot as being very dirty, simply due to the fact that all the neutrons would have been absorbed by the overburden causing large amounts of neutron activated isotopes in the soil which would then be blown everywhere. The wiki article seems to agree?
I wonder what percentage of the plutonium in the core of the bomb that was used in the Sedan test is still trapped in the sediments around that crater? What are the risks of inhaling fine plutonium particles if you dig in that location?
