A serious lack of consistency of terminology has characterized numerous articles published in recent years reporting research in the cratering field. The need for a uniform system of nomenclature to provide a common basis of expression has thus become increasingly apparent.nThe system here proposed was developed as a result of conferences held at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Liver more, California, and at the Atomic Energy Commission Nevada Test Site during November and December, 1963, by representatives of several organizations currently engaged in research in the nuclear cratering field. The purpose of the conferences was to consider the problem of formulation of a unified system of crater nomenclature.
