A New Simulation Facility for Atomic Explosions-Project FAX. Phase II-Definition and Design of Experimental Facility.

Abstract

This study defines the user requirements for a fuel-air explosive test facility for nuclear blast simulation. It details an experimental program and provides the design for an initial experimental fuel-air explosive facility with a capacity of 10,000 pounds of fuel which, by making use of its design as a basic cell, may be expanded to a full 1-KT nuclear blast simulation facility with a 200,000-pounds fuel capacity.
