Underground Detonable Gas Explosions Miracle Play Test Series
Abstract
A program was conducted to simulate the seismic phenomena associated with underground nuclear explosions with detonable gases. The program was conducted in two phases. The first phase, an engineering design study (DASA 2316), presented the system design required to meet the physical aspects of cavity created by the SALMON Event in the Tatum Salt Dome, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, an Atomic Energy Commission installation. The second phase consisted of a series of three detonable gas events to be conducted in the SALMON cavity. This series of detonable gas events were called MIRACLE PLAY TEST SERIES. The three events were named respectively: DIODE TUBE, HUMID WATER, DINAR COIN. This report describes departures in the engineering design, procedure, and results of DIODE TUBE and HUMID WATER. The third event, DINAR COIN, has been cancelled.
