PROJECT PRE-BUGGY SCOPE OF CHEMICAL EXPLOSIVE CRATERING EXPERIMENT,
Abstract
This report provides a general description of the PRE-BUGGY CHEMICAL EXPLOSIVE EXPERIMENTS. These experiments consisted of a series of single- and multiple-change detonations designed to refine our knowledge of channel size as a function of charge spacing, and to obtain data on venting of explosion products from a row of spherical charges detonated in alluvium. A basic series of six single-charge detonations and four multiple-charge detonations of five charges in a row was executed in Area 5 of the Nevada Test Site from November 1962 through February 1963. Each charge contained 1,000 pounds of nitro methane with a La-140 tracer. (Author)
