Abstract
For estimating the yield of the Indian nuclear explosions of 11 May 1998 (POK2), some seismologists have used the parameters of Shagan River test site (SRTS) eastern Kazakh as a representative for Pokhran test site, and have underestimated the yield of POK2. Here, we have shown that there is a body-wave magnitude bias of ~0.4 units between the SRTS and the Pokhran site. In view of this, it will be necessary to take this bias into account before estimating the yield of POK2 using a yield-magnitude relation that is applicable to the SRTS alone.
