Popis: The paper presents information from the digitized register of underground nuclear explosions (UNE) of the Nevada test site from 1960 to 1975 stations of the Unitied Geophysical Survey USSR (EGGN USSR), preserved in the archives of the Institute of Geosphere Dynamics of the Russian Academy of Sciences named after M.A. Sadovsky (IDG RAS). Particular attention is paid to the records of those explosions that were registered by one, two or at most three stations. Such reports were checked for the presence of UNE records on seismograms in the archives of the IDG RAS and the Geophysical Survey RAS (FRC GS RAS). For these explosions at the found stations, the travel time of the primary body wave (tp) was obtained. Tables of registration times and travel times for various phases of body waves are compiled. This material is intended to be the publication of a part of the consolidated catalog of registered UNEs of the Nevada test site to replenish the database on the travel times of seismic waves collected over the past two decades.
