Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Close in air blast from the Danny Boy event resulted almost entirely from the ground shock induced air blast. Little pressure resulted from venting gases. Consequently, measured pressures were only one third to one fourth of those predicted. Ground shock induced pressures from the nuclear charge were found to attenuate less rapidly than those from chemical explosives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-pressure air blast was measured for Project Danny Boy out to distances of 240 kilometers in order, primarily, to determine the attenuation caused by the hard rock environment of the shot and to compare results from both nuclear and HE shots in other media. Nine microbarograph stations were operated. Communications problems and strong local winds reduced the number of signal correlation points. Air-blast pressures, both close-in and far-out, were smaller than were expected, based on past experience with underground HE shots. Distant off-site recordings indicated that blast pressure amplitudes from the Danny Boy shot averaged only 14 percent as large as would have been received from a shot having the same nuclear yield, free-air-burst.

Book excerpt: Project DANNY BOY was an excavation project for the PLOWSHARE Program and consisted of the detonation of a low-yield nuclear device in the basalt mesa in Area 18 at the Nevada Test Site of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The primary purpose in the tests was to give data on: amount, distribution, and decay of radioactivity released by a nuclear cratering detonation buried near optimum depth-of-burst in a hard medium, cratering capability of nuclear explosions in a hard, dry, noncarbonate medium such as basalt, and character of seismic shock and air-blast from a nuclear detonation near optimum depth-of-burst in basalt. The tests presented in the report were conducted to both furnish information as to the physical properties of the in-place material for use in designing special grout mixtures to be used in the embedment of various types of instruments in the site area and also to furnish information as to the characteristics of the in-place material prior to shot time.

Book excerpt: Project Pre-SCHOONER consisted of four 20-ton nitromethane cratering detonations conducted by the United States Army Engineer Nuclear Crate ring Group as part of the joint Atomic Energy Commission-Corps of Engineers nuclear excavation research program. The experiment was conducted in February 1964 in the basalt of Buck- board Mesa at the Nevada Test Site. High speed photography and target markers were used to measure ground surface motions produced by each of the four detonations. Analysis of the surface motion data indicated that spalling was the principle crater-producing mechanism. The three detonations which produced apparent craters did, however, show varying amounts of second phase surface accelerations. Surface ground zero spall velocities ranged from 100 fps for the detonation at a 66-foot burial 1/3 depth (scaled depth of 236 ft/kt) to 170 fps for the detonation at 1/3 a 42-foot burial depth (scaled depth of 150 ft/kt).
