Brodine, Virginia, Ed.; Bradford, Albert, Ed.
Discussed are the commercial uses of nuclear explosives as well as the testing of nuclear weapons. Case histories of the use of nuclear explosives to stimulate oil and natural gas production are examined, and problems associated with nuclear blasting are discussed with special reference to canal construction. Effects of nuclear weapons testing are discussed under the heading of "Radiation Hazards" and "Seismic Hazards." Safety precautions and safety standards are described. The need for adequate information to be provided to the public is stressed. A short annotated bibliography is included. (EB)
