Ground-Water Investigations of the Project GNOME Area, Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico (open access)

Ground-Water Investigations of the Project GNOME Area, Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico

From abstract: The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, through the Office of Test Operations, Albuquerque Operations Office, plans to detonate a nuclear device in a massive salt bed 1,200 feet beneath the land surface. The project, known as Project Gnome, is an element of the Plowshare program--a study of peacetime applications of nuclear fission. The location of the proposed underground shot is in a sparsely-populated area in southeastern Eddy County, N. Mex., east of the Pecos River and about 25 miles southeast of the city of Carlsbad.
