every so often have been
worked out-at least to the
satisfaction Of the Plowshare
people.
Far-fetched? Perhaps, but
also technically feasible. AS
DR.. Herbert York. the Penta-
CONS scientific chief and a for
mer associate of DR.. Teller. has
remarked, LAS long as an idea
is not impracticable by more
than one order of magnitude, it
merits consideration"
Oilmen Interested
Power is only one Plowshare
application. Recovery of pc
troleum is another. The Rich
field Oil Co. and the Canadian
government are awaiting a
favorable turn in world opinion
before setting off a bomb deep
down in the Athabaska Tar
Sands, a rich but currently
non-exploitable petroleum de-
posit. Plowshare scientists
have suggested a blast in the
so-called "oil shale" beds of a
Navy petroleum reserve in
Wyoming. Minerals also might
be mined by nuclear equivalents
of explosive techniqueS used in
the copper industry.
Even greater returns would
come if Plowshare water
resource development plans
were perfected. Two approaches
are suggested: One, to produce
usable water by pumping sea-
water into a bomb-heated un-
derground cavity and diStilling
it; the other, to change ground
water patterns by altering un-
derground "aquifers" or water
bearing strata through nuclear
explosions. Many parts OF the
world, including the fast-grow-
ing Western United States, need
water desperately. Ut has been
noted, however, that changing
the underground drainage pat
tern might be illegal in some
Western States with strict
water-right statutes.)
More exotic PlowShare pro-
poSalS include creation Of in
dustrially useful radioactive
substances in subterranean
blasts; also. synthesis Of dia-
mcnds-for industrial use. not
as a girls best friend-under
the tremendous heats and
pressures involved. Scientists
have even thought of ways in
which trillions of neutronS
from an atomic explosion
might be trapped, brought to
the surface, and used expert
mentally.
But none of these ranks as
the most spectacular suggestion
advanced under Project Plow-
share. That distinction is re-
served for one of the most
ambitious undertakings since

uses. or there would be no
Project Plowshare. DR.. Teller
says. in effect. why not use
them?'
1T is we'll known" he says,
that approximately as much
high explosive has been used
for peaceful purposes as for
use in war"
Not only are the explosives
available; Plowshare scientists
see plenty of jobs to be done.
Some would be more convent
emily done with nuclear blasts
than conventionally. Others
that would be simple under
PlowShare would be impossible
otherwise.
DR.. Teller says economic use
of PlowShare-type explosions
for the generation of large
amounts of electricity may
come before even atomic
fiSSion reactors are competitive.
/ Because the Atomic Energy
Commission has published a
list Of charges for PlowShare
shots Tanging from $500,0OO
to 81 million per bang it is
fairly easy to judge the finan-
cial desirability of a job in
advance.
A typical Plowshare power
project might work this way
deaving out engineering de-
tails for the sake of sim
plicity):
A five-foot shaft would be
dug by conventional methods,
several hundred feet down, pre-
ferably into a deep. dry salt
deposit. This. incidentally, is
planned for Project Gnome,
near Carlsbad, N. Mex, prob
ably in 1861
At the bottom of the SHAFT, q
little room about the size OF
the third bedroom in a middle
class rambler would be exca-
waited. Inside this room tech
nicians would assemble q
hydrogen bomb of a million
tons TNT-equivalent power
The bomb would be set off by
remote control.
No Danger Outside
Such an explosion would be
completely contained by the
salt deposit. scientists say
Neither blast nor heat nor ra-
dioactivity-the three danger
GUS by-productS of nuclear
explosion-would escape to the
outside world. The blasts force
would create a huge. spherical
cavity partly filled with molten
salt at a temperature Of more
than 1000 degrees F. This salt
would stay hot for a very long
time.
Water could then be pumped
into an inlet hole and trans.
formed into steam by the hot
salt. This steam would come
out another hole to be led into
q turbine for the generation oi
electricity.

Of the atomic bomb.
Part of the controversy re-
wolves around the basic idea,
part around the personality of
its leading salesman, DR.. Ed
ward Teller of the University
of California.
A number of subsidiary prof.
ects make up Plowshare, all
OF them with a common tech
nique: The use of atomic en-
ergy in its explosive form for
constructive purposes.
DR.. Teller, who has been
called father of the H-bomb, "
believes Plowshare offers more
real hope for quick and certain
returns from the atom than
any other project in view. But
many of his scientific COL
leagues are coldly suspicious of
the brilliant Hungarian and
impute to him an undue, even
unhealthy. preoccupation with
things that go bang"
Tests Are Planned
Be that as it may, Plowshare
is definitely part of the Atomic
Energy Commissions program
of peaceful use of the atom.
AS early as April of this year
before the U-2 spy plane"
f1asco - Plowshare explosions
were definitely in the works.

brushes OF as nonsense" the
comment of one technically
qualified scientist that PloW-
share seems like just a good
way to test bombs under
ground" No scientist worth his
salt could observe a Plowshare
shot and mistake it's instru-
mentation for that used in
testing weapons, Mr.. McCone
insists.
What of PlowShare as a
method of using nuclear en-
ergy2 Will it really work?
Yes. PlowShare is the only
peaceful application of large
scale atomic energy where there
is no advance doubt of success
The equations can be solved or
a slide rule, and have far fewer
variableS than most other
atomic problems. A Plowshare
undertaking needs only a de-
scription of the job to be done
and an amount of explosives
sufficient to do it. This is
because of the vast amount OF
"blast-effect" research that has
accompanied the business OF
var-preparedness.
The grisly science Of "weap.
oneering" has now been re.
fined to the point where the
yield-explosive force in terms
Of INT blast equivalent-of any
atomic device can be calculated
rather precisely. The mush-
room cloud of Hiroshima is now
reduced to mere numbers: A
"kiloton"-1,000 tons of TINT
equals a trillion calories.
