A powerful underground explosion registers on seismographs all over the world, and smaller explosions are detected at shorter distances. The fault of this system is that weak bomb waves are hard to distinguish from the waves of natural earthquakes.

Since earthquakes do not do this, a special underground receiver might be able to distinguish them from nuclear explosions...
