Associated Press stan Writer

The thermonuclear bomb is
ready to go to work, peacefully
and quietly.
1t has the power to land
seape the face of the earth;
to bring up great riches from
the oceans or from under
ground; to probe the upper air
and outer space for perhaps
undreamed-of benefits.
Scientists, engineers and
technicians already are busy
with the preliminaries for two
ventures, tentatively slated for
execution within a year or two,
called Project Plowshare. Plow-
share is the Atomic Energy
Commissions name for the
whole field of undertakings
contemplating the use of nu-
clear explosives for peaceful
purposes.
One OF the two Imminent
projects is the burial of a
peaceful bomb, which is net a
bomb in the military sense, in
a. salt mine to produce heat
for power and for the quick
conversion Of natural suhStan-
ces into highly useful and
easily recoverable materials.
The second is the excavation
Of a harbor on the bleak north
west coast Of Alaska, we'll north
Of the Arctic Circle.
Other Projects Planned
Close behind these are de-
tailed proposals to dig a new
and larger Panama Canal;
warm up the polar regions;
attempt weather control: curb
hurricanes and lightning; pro-
duce cheap fresh water from
the oceans; enlarge the supply
OF petroleum and other min
erals, and make strange new
chemicals, including more fuel
for both reactors and nuclear
explosives.
The scientists believe they
have the know-how for all
these and more, and have it
right now.
The nuclear explosive is con-
sidered ready because the
scientists have learned how to
aim its split-second violence
or trap it underground in the
form Of heat which could be
stored and used gradually.
:. They say they have demon
strated that they can bury a
device at just the right depth
SO that you could stand directly
above it and feel nothing more
than a sudden jolt, as if you
had stepped off a curb un-
expectedly.
with this underground calcu-
lation and some studies on the
results of nuclear explosions at
the surface and in the air,
scientists feel they have the
problem of radiation and radio
activity licked.
g Safety Measures
I Safety from subterranean
blasts will come from knowing
exactly how deep a bomb has
to be buried, not only to do the
desired earth moving but also
TO contain the resultant radio
activity underground.
At the present state Of readi-
ness, actual starting of prof.
ects will be slow because Of
their great dimensions, the
need for determining their long
range effects, and the status of
International negotiations to

curb or abandon nuclear test

curo or ABANDON nuclear test
ing.
Possibly the first big expert
ment to materialize will be
Project Gnome. in which a 10
kiloton device is to be exploded
in an underground salt bed
near Carlsbad. N. Mex. ..
The salt bed was chosen for
several reasons. Holes can be
drilled down to it with ease
from the surface. Salt won't
waste much of the blasts heat
through chemical changes. It
is good material for conserving
heat and absorbing the shock.
John J. Grebe and E. v
Luoma of the Dow Chemical
Co.. Midland, Mich, want a
chance to use nuclear heat in
limestone, salt or oil shale de-
posits to produce great quanti-
ties Of everyday chemicals at
perhaps a fraction Of their
present cost.
Heat Pockets Generated
In some parts Of the world,
deep underground, great pock-
cts Of heat are generated by
chemical action. When the
heat reaches water it produces
steam. Wells drilled to the hot
ter pockets collect steam to use
in running turbines for pro-
ducing electric power.
Roland H. Carlson Of the
Sandia group says three nu-
clear devices. each half the size
of the Hiroshima bomb, could
break up rock and create a
channel connecting several Of
these pockets to reduce the
n UNI Der Of conventionally
drilled wells necessary for COM
mercial steam recovery.
Projects of this kind are un-
der development or projected in
Ell Salvador and California, but
whether they will use nuclear
blasting is yet to be determined.
The oil industry has ex-
pressed interest in an expert
mental blast in oil shale. In
properly crushed shale the heat
would liberate the crude oil so
it could be pumped out.
Mr.. Carlson has worked out
a plan for blasting great I'M
foreground holes for oil storage.
There are no overwhelming
difficulties in sight and 1t
could be cheaper than building
steel tanks. he says.
Worlds Largest Still
Two of the researchers have
plans for the worlds largest
still. 1t would freshen sea
water on a grand scale.
First Of the big landscaping
jobs is likely to be the Alaskan
harbor excavation, less than
200 miles from Soviet Russia.
This is called Project Char
lot. The preliminary work
already is under way. If no
unexpected complications de-
velop, it could reach the
trigger-pulling stage in 1861.
No harbor is really needed
there now. The Acc comedies
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-09-27

this but adds that It could be-
come a shipping point for
Alaskan coal to Japan. And If
we are going to prove that we
can build a harbor with nuclear
blasting. this is . good place
to do it. 49,
The site is the mouth Of
Ogotoruk Greek. which empties
into the Arctic Ocean through
a tide fiat Of the Chuckchi Sea.
The plan is to blast out a chan
mel about three-quarters of a
mile long with a ship-turning
basin at its head.
Because the blasts conceiv-
ably could produce unfriendly
reactions in Soviet Russian
Siberia, less than 200 miles
away. or even in Alaskan COM
munities, their calculated sizes
have been shaved to bare mini
NUNS.
The shots will be fired at
relatively shallow depths. and
some of the blast and radio
activity is bound to escape. A
platoon Of scientists spent the
Arctic summer on the spot cal
culating ways Of channelmg
these effects so they will do no
harm.
They are determining also
how the harbor building will
affect the way of life Of the
Eskimos there; how plant. ami
NAL. bird and fish life may be
altered: what changes will be
wrought underground and on
the surrounding landscape.
Still in the paper stage is
a plan to build a new and bet
ter Panama Canal.
DR.. L. j. Workman, Sandia
engineer. says the excavation
could be done with nuclear
blasting at one sixth the cost
Of conventional digging.
1t took 1896 million and
seven years Of construction
work to build the present canal.
which is inadequate for the
traffic.
Storm Tanning Proposed
A 20-megaton device. equal to
20 million tons of TINT or 1000
Hiroshimas. is a pipsqueak COM
pared to the total force of a
hurricane or typhoon. Yet there
is a chance that one or more
nuclear blasts, even the smaller
ones. could trigger natural
processes that would tame such
a great storm or defect 1t away
from populated shores.
Jack w. Reed Of the Sandia
group proposes an actual test.
Planted on one side of the
hurricanes eye, a nuclear blast
might make the normally SYM
metrical storm center lopsided,
causing it to wobble on its
course and perhaps turn out to
sea before reaching the coast,
Mr.. Reed says.
His other possibility is to
send a submarine with a nu-
clear device into the water be-
meath the eye, plant the device
at or near the surface in the
eye center, then dive for pro-
lection from the blast.
Can big nuclear explosions
change the worlds weather by
lifting tremendous quantities Of
dust or water droplets into the
stratosphere and Sprea di n 6
them like a blanket between
the earth and the sun?
The only way to find out is
to try it, says Lester Machta, OF
the United States Weather
Bureau in Washington.
He says each one-megaton
blast could lift 100 million tons
of warm, moist surface air high
above the earth where it could
produce enough condensation to
give up to one-tenth of an inch
of rain over a 200-square-mi
area downwind from the blast.
