Abstract
A system and method of preventing an explosion of a natural caldera. The system includes an artificial caldera, formed by a spiral tunnel that extends from a surface of the earth to a position close to a surface of a magma plume of the natural caldera. A plurality of charges, such as tactical nuclear charges, are placed at positions along a length of the spiral tunnel, and detonated to form the artificial caldera. The method includes determining a center of the natural caldera, constructing the spiral tunnel, placing the plurality of charges within the spiral tunnel at fixed intervals, and detonating the plurality of charges simultaneously. Detonation of the plurality of charges opens the artificial caldera and allows magma thereunder to be controllably released through the artificial caldera. In this manner, a pressure of the magma is reduced, and a cataclysmic explosion of the natural caldera is mitigated.
