    "parsed_content": "Note: The floor plan is based on a report from the Institute for Science and International Security. The shock wave simulation, for illustrative purposes only, was created by Viper Applied Science and depicts a scenario in which the blasts occurred in the ventilation shaft about 60 feet from the facility and in which the facility has no blast doors. The simulation shows detonations of two bombs, with the second blast occurring two seconds after the first. Without access to the site, it may be quite some time before outside experts can gauge exactly how seriously Fordo was damaged, though a recent U.S. assessment described it as badly damaged. But a look at the bomb used and the facility\u2019s structure, as well as an assessment of the site\u2019s geology, offers some clues.The bombBallistics and blast experts describe the GBU-57 as akin to a giant bullet. Dropped from a B-2 bomber, the 30,000-pound bomb, which includes more than 5,000 pounds of explosives, hits the ground at around supersonic speed before detonating.As powerful as it is, even a bomb like the GBU-57 is not certain to destroy a hardened target buried deep in the rock of a mountainside, experts say. \nHow deep the GBU-57 could go\nin limestone-like material\n1\nThe bomb\u2019s speed\nand weight make it \nsmash through the\nground ...\n0 ft.\nShallow \ncrater\n2\n\u2026 leaving a shallow\ncrater and a \nfracture zone \nafter detonation.\n20\n40\n3\nFracture zone\nThe fractured rock\nallows a second bomb \nto penetrate deeper \nthan the first.\n60\n4\nThe next bombs \nwould reach various \ndepths depending on \nrock damage, which \ncan be highly variable.\n80\nThe enrichment facility\nis estimated to be\n260 to 360 feet deep.\n100\n1\nHow deep the GBU-57 could go\nin limestone-like material\nThe bomb\u2019s speed and \nweight make it smash \nthrough the ground \u2026\n2\n\u2026 leaving a shallow crater \nand a fracture zone \nafter detonation.\n3\nThe fractured rock\nallows a second bomb \nto penetrate deeper \nthan the first.\n0 ft.\nShallow \ncrater\n20\nFirst bomb\ncould penetrate \n13-36 ft.\n40\nFracture zone\n60\nThe second bomb \ncould reach\nup to 105 ft.\n80\n4\nThe next bombs \nwould reach various \ndepths depending on \nrock damage, which \ncan be highly variable.\n100\nThe enrichment facility\nis estimated to be\n260 to 360 feet deep.\n Note: Ranges are approximate and based on a homogenous limestone-like material without air cavities or concrete structures. In ignimbrite, a type of volcanic rock that several geologists say may be found at Fordo, one estimate showed the first bomb could fall within limestone ranges, though further estimates were not available. Source: Estimates for The New York Times by Raymond Daddazio, senior consultant and president emeritus at Thornton Tomasetti, an engineering and applied science firm A rough estimate shows that a 30,000-pound projectile moving faster than the speed of sound would travel at most five to 10 meters \u2014 up to around 35 feet \u2014 into several common types of rock, including those most likely found at Fordo, said Ryan Hurley, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Johns Hopkins and an expert on the behavior of rocks in extreme conditions. Most estimates put Fordo\u2019s depth at somewhere between 260 and 360 feet.Fractures left by the first blast could allow subsequent bombs to reach deeper, but just how far is hard to predict.Mr. Hurley and other experts said that a precise calculation of the damage was impossible without advanced computer simulations, classified data on real-world tests, the exact speed and shape of the bomb, and extensive knowledge of Fordo\u2019s structure and the geology of the site.The ventilation shaftsWhen the strike planners looked for vulnerabilities in Fordo\u2019s structure, they zeroed in on the ventilation shafts that open to the mountainside above the bunker, which would allow them to avoid trying to blast their way through the hard rock above the facility.The main shafts did not go straight down, said a Defense Department official familiar with the decision making, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters. They zigged and zagged somewhat at the top, meaning that the path to the bunker was not a straight shot until toward the end. \nVentilation\nshafts\nVentilation\nshafts\nZigzagging vents\nmeant each bomb\nwas expected to hit\na mix of air, rock \nand concrete.\nA zigzag design \ncould also mean \nthat the facility did \nnot sit directly under \nthe bombs' path.\nFacility\nFacility\nVentilation\nshafts\nU.S. officials \nassumed that the \nvent zigzagged, so \neach bomb was \nexpected to hit a \nvariable mix of air, \nrock and concrete.\nFacility\nVentilation\nshafts\nA zigzag design \ncould also mean \nthat the facility did \nnot sit directly \nunder the bombs' \npath.\nFacility\nVentilation\nshafts\nVentilation\nshafts\nZigzagging vents\nmeant each bomb\nwas expected to \nhit a mix of air, rock\nand concrete.\nA zigzag design \ncould also mean \nthat the facility did \nnot sit directly under \nthe bombs' path.\nFacility\nFacility\n The exact shape of the ventilation shafts was unclear, but angles would mean the bombs would encounter a combination of rock and open tunnels. Planners decided that they would need multiple bombs.Each of the shafts opened to a trident shape at the top, according to a June 26 Pentagon briefing. In both locations, the aim was to blow off a concrete cap with one bomb and drop five more down the main shaft.The geologyThe damage that a GBU-57 \u2014 or a succession of them \u2014 causes depends on the geology at the point of impact.Several geologists consulted by The New York Times said that an Iranian survey of the Fordo area, published in 2020 in Geopersia, an academic journal from the University of Tehran, indicates that the rock there consists largely of ignimbrite, a type of volcanic rock. \nCaspian Sea\nAlborz Mountains\nVOLCANIC\nROCKS\nTehran\nIRAN\nFordo\nThe rocks at Fordo appear to be ignimbrite.\nQom\nIRAN\n30 miles\nCaspian Sea\nAlborz Mountains\nQazvin\nTehran\nVOLCANIC\nROCKS\nFordo\nThe rocks at Fordo appear to be ignimbrite.\nQom\nIRAN\nIRAN\n30 miles\n Source: U.S. Geological Survey Note: A more detailed geological survey published in Geopersia about the area surrounding Fordo further specified the type of volcanic rock as ignimbrite. \u201cIgnimbrite is a great thing to dig into,\u201d said Yizhaq Makovsky, a geoscientist and associate professor at the University of Haifa in Israel. He said that the ancient, subterranean dwellings in Cappadocia, in central Turkey, were carved into ignimbrite. Some of those structures have multiple levels, connecting tunnels and hundreds of entrances.The precise grade, or hardness, of the ignimbrite around Fordo is unclear, Professor Makovsky said, but as in Cappadocia, the material probably made it easier to build an underground bunker. Visually, the ignimbrite around Fordo appears to be relatively soft, he said, but closer study would be required to be certain.Ignimbrite offered another advantage for the Iranians, he said. Because it is relatively porous, it may act to tamp down damaging shock waves, like those from the American bombs. In that way, he said, ignimbrite may act like \u201csacks of sand around old forts, put up to stop the bullets.\u201dNick Glumac, an engineering professor and explosives expert at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, said there was little doubt about the cushioning effect of ignimbrite, or volcanic tuff.\u201cTuff is well known in the blast community as a very efficient absorber of energy \u2014 one of the absolute best,\u201d Professor Glumac said. \u201cPorous materials like that are used in many applications to limit the damage zone associated with blast from a high explosive.\u201dThe facilityThe Fordo complex also had multiple stories, the Defense Department official said, increasing the number of bombs the United States calculated it needed to use to destroy the centrifuges and other equipment. \nMultiple underground stories \nmay have dissipated the force \nof the blast.\nVentilation\nshaft\nShock wave\nMultiple underground \nstories may have dissipated\nthe force of the blast.\nVentilation\nshaft\nShock wave\n And the bunker could have been protected in other ways.Iran is a major producer of concrete, and Iranian researchers have published papers on concrete mixed with minuscule steel fibers and other strengthening materials. By forming a bridge across tiny cracks when the concrete is stressed, the fibers can make concrete more resistant to blasts or impact, said Clay Naito, a professor of structural engineering at Lehigh University whose research focuses on the performance of reinforced concrete.\u201cThe use of fibers can double or triple the tensile strength, and allow the cracks to remain stable,\u201d Professor Naito said. \u201cThat keeps the concrete together to a much greater extent.\u201dHow much it helps depends on the power of the blast and the specific mix of concrete, he said. It\u2019s unclear whether the Iranians put this material into Fordo, but he said it had become routine in the United States to spray concrete on the inside of tunnels with steel fibers as a layer of protection and structural support.More elaborate approaches might involve steel plates to help absorb the shock of an explosion or keep concrete shards from flying off the walls and damaging equipment or injuring personnel.Some of the protective measures in place at Fordo are known. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have over the years described thick-walled chambers separated by heavy, blast-resistant doors.The variablesSo, how badly was Fordo damaged? A lot depends on how close to the facility any of the bombs detonated. But with so many variables \u2014 and so many unknowns \u2014 it may be difficult to ever really be certain.The bombs probably did not reach the centrifuge chambers themselves, although analysts are still conducting detailed assessments, the Defense Department official said. The goal, the official said, was to use the shock waves and other effects of the explosions to destroy the centrifuges.If the bombs did not reach the bunker itself, the explosions could still have caused major damage if they took place just outside it or in a ventilation shaft.In that case, there would be some structural damage where the shock waves hit. \u201cAnd then as we get into the broader tunnels and further out, it\u2019s having a damaging effect on equipment,\u201d said Andrew Nicholson, a director of Viper Applied Science, an Edinburgh-based company that develops blast simulation software and studies the effects of extreme loads on structures.If one or more bombs did manage to reach the bunker, the damage, however significant, might still be limited.\u201cI would think it would toast everything pretty substantially,\u201d said Peter McDonald, another director at Viper.But as devastating as a blast in the confined space of the bunker would have been for the equipment, Mr. McDonald added, he would not expect a full collapse of Fordo. Structural damage would most likely be limited to areas near the explosion. \nDetonation inside\nthe rock\nShock waves and\nshards of concrete \nwould cause damage.\nDetonation inside\nthe shaft\nShock waves \nand blast would \nchannel directly \ninto facility.\nBomb\nDetonation\ninside the\nfacility\nFacility\nThe blast \nwould be most \ndevastating.\nVentilation\nshafts\nDetonation inside\nthe rock\nShock waves and\nshards of concrete \nwould cause damage.\nBomb\nDetonation inside\nthe shaft\nShock waves and blast \nwould channel directly \ninto facility.\nDetonation inside\nthe facility\nFacility\nThe blast would \nbe most devastating.\n Professor Hurley, the Johns Hopkins mechanical engineering expert, said that the Pentagon\u2019s overall approach appeared to have been sound.\u201cI would say that if they studied the geology and ventilation shafts as carefully as reported, then it\u2019s likely that they did very significant damage,\u201d he said.That\u2019s consistent with the growing confidence of American officials that the strike badly damaged Fordo and wiped out its array of centrifuges.But Jon B. Wolfsthal, the director of global risk at the Federation of American Scientists and an arms control official in the White House during the Obama and Biden administrations, said that how much the U.S. strike on Fordo set back Iran\u2019s nuclear program would depend on precisely how the shock waves and other effects of the blast tore through the bunker.\u201cIf it\u2019s a shock wave,\u201d Mr. Wolfsthal said, \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of things there that are being recovered. If it\u2019s more of a fiery blast, and everything\u2019s been destroyed, there\u2019s probably very little. But until we know that, I can\u2019t do an effective calculation for how much might be left and how much can be salvaged.\u201d",
