You can refer to Atomic Archive website and look at an old detonation 
called "Climax" from 6/4/53 at the Nevada test site.  You can clearly see 
multiple vertical lines that are fairly parallel to each other and 
slightly jagged.  I have spent much time trying to find the answer.  Can 
you please help? Thanks in Advance.
