Nuclear Earth-Mover Project Plowshare Aims for Cleaner Explosions
Livermore scientists and the AEC continue refining underground nuclear excavation under Project Plowshare to quietly dig canals and harbors with low radioactive fallout. The Sedan test demonstrated most radioactivity stayed underground, prompting hopes for safer, larger earth-moving blasts despite the 1963 test ban and treaty limits. The effort hinges on treaty interpretation, future amendments, and device tech to prevent atmospheric contamination.
