90932Xian China: Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology NINT. Unknown edition or printing. Single sheet printed on one side. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is a hardcopy of a color vugraph. On the left side are to photographs. The top has a group of people walking in a tunnel and the lower on is an image of a tunnel. On the right side is a track overland of the tunnel's direction. The middle section is a hand drawn and captioned Tunnel Plan view including a Cross Section drawn at the lower right corner with some dimensions. The track goes from a brick face to the shot point. NINT was the institution responsible for conducting and analyzing China’s nuclear testing program. Since China signed the CTBT NINT has emerged with the primary responsibility for China’s field implementation of the technologies for the International Monitoring System IMS. An adit is a near-horizontal entrance or tunnel driven into a hillside or mountain for underground operations featuring only one opening to the surface. Adits offer a cost-effective safer alternative to vertical shafts. An adit allows workers to walk into a mine unlike vertical shafts to reach areas of interest directly. Because they are driven at a slight upward angle they allow water to drain out naturally removing the need for pumps. Adits also provide natural airflow for underground operations. Project 816 in Chongqing China is a massive decommissioned underground nuclear plant often cited as the world's largest artificial cave featuring over 20 kilometers of tunnels and 13 levels. Built in the 1960s to produce atomic bomb fuel it was designed to withstand nuclear hits with 18000 workers creating a facility that is now a tourist attraction. Key Details of Project 816:Structure: The complex contains 18 major caves over 130 tunnels and 80 roads.<br /> Design & Safety: It was built inside a mountain to resist a 1-megaton hydrogen bomb airburst and a magnitude-8 earthquake. Scale: The reactor hall is massive measuring 79.6 meters in height. Status: Construction was halted in 1984 85% complete due to shifting geopolitics. It was declassified in 2002 and opened as a tourist attraction in 2010. Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology (NINT) unknown

COver has some wear and soiling. ix 1 . 193 1 p. References. Diagrams. Maps. Illustrations. Index. Most of the earth's population would survive the immediate horrors of a nuclear holocaust but what long-term climatological changes would affect their ability to secure food and shelter This sobering book considers the effects of fine dust from ground-level detonations of smoke from widespread fires and of chemicals released into the atmosphere. The authors use mathematical models of atmospheric processes and data from natural situations-e.g. volcanic eruptions and arctic haze-to draw their conclusions. This is the most detailed and comprehensive probe of the scientific evidence published to date. National Academies Press paperback

198965251National Academies Press 1989. Trade paperback. Very good. No dust jacket as issued. References. Abbreviations. x 146 p. In this volume the National Research Council examines problems arising throughout government-owned contractor-operated facilities in the United States engaged in activities to build nuclear weapons. The book draws conclusions about and makes recommendations for the health and safety of the nuclear weapons complex and addresses pressing environmental concerns. In addition the book examines the future of the complex and offers suggestions for its modernization. Several explanatory appendixes provide useful background information on the functioning of the complex criticality safety plutonium chemistry and weapons physics. In the aftermath of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station the Department of energy DOE asked the National Research Council to examine possible implications of the accident for the large reactors operated by the Department. The reactors included those then operating at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina and at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in the state of Washington. In response the National Research Council issued reports in 1987 and 1988 that focused on a variety of safety management and technical issues. In the meantime concerns developed with regard to the other nonreactor facilities in the nuclear weapons complex. As a result of these concerns Congress directed the Secretary of Energy to request that the National Research Concil report its conclusions and recommendations concerning health safety and environmental issues arising throughout the complex and steps that would enhance the safety of operations at the facilties. This report fulfills the Secretary's request. National Academies Press paperback

Peaceful nuclear explosions PNEs are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes such as activities related to economic development including the creation of canals. During the 1960s and 1970s both the United States and the Soviet Union conducted a number of PNEs. Six of the explosions by the Soviet Union are considered to have been of an applied nature not just tests. Subsequently the United States and the Soviet Union halted their programs. Definitions and limits are covered in the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty of 1976. In the PNE Treaty the signatories agreed: not to carry out any individual nuclear explosions having a yield exceeding 150 kilotons; not to carry out any group explosion consisting of a number of individual explosions having an aggregate yield exceeding 1500 kilotons; and not to carry out any group explosion having an aggregate yield exceeding 150 kilotons unless the individual explosions in the group could be identified and measured by agreed verification procedures. The parties also reaffirmed their obligations to comply fully with the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963. The parties reserve the right to carry out nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes in the territory of another country if requested to do so but only in full compliance with the yield limitations and other provisions of the PNE Treaty and in accord with the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty of 1996 prohibits all nuclear explosions regardless of whether they are for peaceful purposes or not. Project Gasbuggy was an underground nuclear detonation carried out by the United States Atomic Energy Commission on December 10 1967 in rural northern New Mexico. It was part of Operation Plowshare a program designed to find peaceful uses for nuclear explosions. Gasbuggy was carried out by the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory and the El Paso Natural Gas Company with funding from the Atomic Energy Commission. Its purpose was to determine if nuclear explosions could be useful in fracturing rock formations for natural gas extraction. The site lying in the Carson National Forest is approximately 34 km 21 mi southwest of Dulce New Mexico and 87 km 54 mi east of Farmington and was chosen because natural gas deposits were known to be held in sandstone beneath Leandro Canyon. A 29 kt 120 TJ device was placed at a depth of 1288 m 4227 ft underground then the well was backfilled before the device was detonated; a crowd had gathered to watch the detonation from atop a nearby butte. The detonation took place after a couple of delays the last one caused by a breakdown of the explosive refrigeration system. The detonation produced a rubble chimney that was 24 m 80 ft wide and 102 m 335 ft high above the blast center. After an initial surface cleanup effort the site sat idle for over a decade. A later surface cleanup effort primarily tackled leftover toxic materials. In 1978 a marker monument was installed at the Surface Ground Zero SGZ point that provided basic explanation of the historic test. Below the main plaque lies another which indicates that no drilling or digging is allowed without government permission. The site is publicly accessible via the Carson National Forest F.S. 357 dirt road/Indian J10 that leads into the Carson National Forest. Following the Project Gasbuggy test two subsequent nuclear explosion fracturing experiments were conducted in western Colorado in an effort to refine the technique. They were Project Rulison in 1969 and Project Rio Blanco in 1973. In both cases the gas radioactivity was still seen as too high and in the last case the triple-blast rubble chimney structures disappointed the design engineers. Soon after that test the ~ 15-year Project Plowshare program funding dried up. These early fracturing tests were later superseded by hydraulic fracturing fracking technologies.
