Seller's Description:
Good. iv, 52 pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Ex-library with usual library markings. Also has designation Nuclear Explosions--Peaceful Applications (TID-4500). This includes an Abstract, Introduction, and Sections entitled General, Excavation, Underground Engineering, and Other Applications. These are followed by sections on USAEC Film Library Locations and Service Areas, Open Files: Projects Gasbuggy and Rulison, Author Index, Experiment Index, Foreign Literature Index, Report Number and Availability Index, and Report Collections in the United States. Among the projects were: Cabriolet, Palanquin, Sedan, Schooner, Gasbuggy, Rulison and Gnome. While not listed in the contents, the index has a number of references to Milrow and to the Transisthmian Canal. Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. 31 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting, stimulation of tight gas, chemical element manufacture, probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust, creating reflection seismology Vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting. The project's uncharacteristically large and atmospherically vented Sedan nuclear test also led geologists to determine that Barringer crater was formed as a result of a meteor impact and not from a volcanic eruption. Negative impacts from Project Plowshare's tests generated significant public opposition, which eventually led to the program's termination in 1977. These consequences included fallout from radioactive material before underground testing was mandated by treaty.
