Bubba > The earth's center core is a nuclear fission reactor, and the energy released causes volcanic eruptions or earthquakes That's what I believe but the earth scientists like to imagine it is simply an inert ball of molten rock/metal/whatever. And from what one reads, the energy for tectonic movements appears to be "self generated" or else has something to do with the earth's rotation.

The Earth's core doesn't have the mass for fission

Re: Radioactive ash? Well, the simultaneous explosions of 5 or 6 one-megaton nukes 16,000 feet under the ocean's surface must be detectable, one way or another... Infrared? Red and lower frequencies are absorbed by water --hence the deeper you dive the bluer it gets... I guess that's also why satellites can't pick up the heat released by submarines... But the heat released by FIVE nukes????? Five gas bubbles pulsing and rising to the surface? I believe it was possible for a (forest-)fire-monitoring satellite to detect the temperature gradient resulting from the gas bubbles popping up at the (ocean's) surface. As for radioactive fallout, a radioactive aerosol might also have been detectable. Then again, remember Chernobyl: European media kept speculating about the path followed by the "nuclear cloud" over Europe --yet we were NEVER showed actual satellite pictures... Classified up to this day! Gus
