Earth Vibrations from a Nuclear Explosion in a Salt Dome

Description: The following report presents data from the SALMON experiment, an experiment made to study the mechanics of a tamped nuclear detonation in a salt dome in terms of generated shock waves as they are propagated out of the dome and progressively through the crust and mantle of the earth. This experiment was made in the Tatum salt dome, Mississippi, October 22, 1964.

Interim report groove corrosion simulation through autoclave film testing

Description: It has been found that treating autoclaved, aluminum-clad fuel elements in a relatively strong caustic solution produces surface attack patterns that qualitatively resemble corrosion patterns seen on fuel elements irradiated in the Hanford water-cooled production reactors. It is believed that mechanisms controlling this ex-reactor phenomenon may yield insight into similar processes for in-reactor irradiation conditions. To date, autoclave film tests have been designed to yield comparative resul… more

Post-piledriver re-entry

Description: This report details post-Piledriver Re-entry. Re-entry down the Piledriver shaft went slowly. The shaft collar had bounced so high and hard that there was a separation directly under the collar and approximately 30 feet vertically of shaft wall in that area spalled off and fell into the skip Docket. The collar area had to be packed with new concrete prior to advancing further downshaft. Drilling, sampling, gas analysis, and radiation monitoring activities are detailed.
