A DIRECT METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING THE INTERIOR OF THE EARTH

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4768565

Direct access to the crust and the upper portion of the mantle may be achieved by letting a high-temperature (>11O0 deg C) reactor core melt the rock in which it ls placed and fall through the resulting magma. Data gathering and retrieval seem feasible. A schematic design of the proposed instrument is given. (auth)
