Summary report of results of LLL cratering calculations for the Qattara project
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6704279
The use of computerized simulation to determine the dimensions of craters which would result from detonating 800, 400, or 200 kt nuclear explosives at different depths of burst in the Western Desert of Egypt is described. The results are intended for use in a study of the feasibility of connecting the Mediterrean Sea with the Qattara Depression by a nuclearly excavated channel. Computer-generated graphs of the crater configurations for specific sites are presented. (LCL)
