Natural Gas Test by Bomb Aims to Free Hidden Fuel
MEASURY Nev Atomic Energy Commission officials reported a nuclear explosive test near the desert town of Measurey succeeded in fracturing rock to release trapped natural gas. The Mitra shot, equivalent to 0,000 tons of TNT, produced ground bulges and shock waves felt miles away in Las Vegas. AEC officials said no atmospheric radiation was released. A. Dean Thornbrong called the test “just fine” as the first device of its kind. Experts foresee future use to tap vast sandstone reservoirs under several Rocky Mountain states, potentially doubling gas reserves.
