I understand the conventional measurement criteria for volcanic eruptions. There is a video circulating of an object that dropped in the water just seconds before the eruption. There is speculation that it was a nuke weapon dropped on top of the volcano. The 10MT estimate is for the weapon, not the follow on volcanic eruption. The Russians have a nuke torpedo rated at 250MT that stands as a threat to generate tsunamis on east and west coasts of North America.

I haven't tracked down the waveform signatures. One of my co-workers specializes in identifying the difference between normal seismic waveforms and nukes. That information would sort whether the speculation was valid.

Nuclear weapon? Right! Most likely a seismic package.

If it was a nuke, then there would be noticeable radioactivity reported everywhere.
