HIGH EXPLOSIVES, ARMING, AND SYSTEMATICS. Final Report of Project COWBOY
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4166369
Project Cowboy was a series of tests to determine whether exploding a high-explosive charge in the center of an underground sphere would produce seismic decoupling (relatively little of explosion energy is translated into earth motion) of the resulting shock wave. The tests were conducted in a salt mine at 800 ft below ground in two spherical rooms 12 and 30 ft in diam. The explosive used was duPont Pelletol 1. Descriptions of the safety and firing procedures are given. (C.J.G.)
