The paper presents the results of numerical studies of seismic source of an underground nuclear explosion affected by the environment, namely, rock massive geology, concavity or convexity availability, depth and yield of the explosion, the initial state of stress in rock (hydrostatic or tensor) etc. A study is made of the feasibility of seismic signal attenuation with a lower-yield explosion at a greater depth.
