Dynamic Rock Mechanics Investigations Final Report, Project Cowboy

Description: Strain gage instrumentation is reported of three Cowboy shots to measure the strain produced in salt by coupled and decoupled detonations. Linear array tests were made to develop a propagation law for strain, to determine particle velocity and acceleration in salt, to compare explosives, to determine the effect of impedance coupling between explosive and rock, and to investigate other seismic effects. Crater tests were made to determine the dynamic tensile breaking strength of salt. Tests were … more

A Study of the Effects of Nuclear Radiation on Organic Explosives

Description: Samples of 6 explosive compounds (TNT, tetryl, NC, ROX, HMX, and PETN) and 4 explosive mixtures were exposed to the neutron and gamma radiation from a power reactor at integrated flux levels of approximately 10/sup 15/ and 3 x 10/ sup 16/ n/cm/sup 2/. The irradiated samples were subjected to a variety of chemical and physical tests. Only minor effects were noted at the lower exposure level, but extensive deterioration of the aliphatic and and heterocyclic compounds occurred in the 10/sup 16/ ru… more

Report on 8-inch isostatic press explosion at Site 300

Description: On 3 March 1960 at 11:30 a.m. a detonation occurred in the 8-inch isostatic press. The press and building were completely destroyed. Operating personnel were protected and no injuries resulted. Adjacent facilities were not affected. The press was housed in a temporary facility located in the southwest portion of Section 26, Site 300. The facility was situated approximately 1000 feet west of the main site road, and 1400 feet north of the county road. The press building was of frangible wood cons… more
