Two chemical calibration explosions, conducted at the former Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in 1998 with charges of 25 tons and 100 tons TNT, have been used for developing travel-time curves and generalized one-dimensional velocity models of the crust and upper mantle of the platform region of Kazakhstan. The explosions were recorded by a number of digital seismic stations, located in Kazakhstan at distances ranging from 0 to 720 km. The travel-time tables developed in this paper cover the phases P , Pn , Pg , S , Sn , Lg in a range of 0-740 km and the velocity models apply to the crust down to 44 km depth and to the mantle down to 120 km. A comparison of the compiled travel-time tables with existing travel-time tables of CSE and IASPEI91 is presented.
