INVESTIGATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF MANUFACTURING AGGREGATE BY NUCLEAR METHODS
Abstract
The report covers a limited study of preshot and postshot characteristics of basalt in the area of the Danny Boy nuclear event, to determine if it would be practical to manufacture aggregate for construction purposes by nuclear means. n this event approximately 20 percent of the ejecta could have been made available for use as concrete aggregate by seieving. Secondary crushing would have produced a greater quantity. Other studies would be necessary to determine the effect of nuclear blasts upon other types of rock.
