PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINTH NUCLEAR SUPERHEAT MEETING, APRIL 21, 22, AND 23, 1964, SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA

Technical Report
PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND PLOWSHARE SYMPOSIUM, MAY 13-15, 1959, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: PART II. EXCAVATION. Plowshare Series: Report No. 2

Technical Report

Separate abstracts have been prepared on nine papers dealing with applications of nuclear explosives for certain types of excavation projects such as harbors, canals, and large dams. It is pointed out in the Preface that a kiloton of nuclear explosive energy will excavate approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material at a cost of five dollars a yard for a kiloton project or one cent a yard for a megaton project. Present-day excavation costs run from fifty cents to several dollars a yard. (C.H.)
