Nuclear Operation: Project Gasbuggy
Abstract
The preparation for an experiment like Gasbuggy begins well in advance of the actual detonation. This paper describes the nuclear-operation portion of such an experiment. Once a company, a group of companies, or a public agency has conceived a new application for nuclear explosives, the first step in its development is a feasibility study. The participants in the feasibility study include, in addition to the originators of the idea, the Atomic Energy Commission and perhaps other companies, agencies, and the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory. The feasibility study for Project Gasbuggy was conducted by the El Paso Natural Gas Company, the U. S. Bureau of Mines, and the AEC, with some assistance from LRL.
