An investigation of the feasibility of building a harbor on the West coast of South America using explosive power of nuclear weapons, a preliminary report (open access)

An investigation of the feasibility of building a harbor on the West coast of South America using explosive power of nuclear weapons, a preliminary report

There is an interest in discovering the various peace time uses of nuclear explosives. One of the proposals is the building of harbors. There are several ports along the west coast of South America where lighterage is necessary. This implies a need for expanded harbor facilities. The problem is to find a good location for creating a harbor, and the feasibility of accomplishing this with the use of nuclear force. Feasibility includes blast effects, radiation hazards, the number of weapons needed, and economic considerations. Economic considerations include the cost of treating a harbor of sufficient depth and area, the building of harbor facilities, and the estimated savings and advantages of the new harbor. Several meetings were held with naval personnel of the Military Liaison group at UCRL to discuss the general problems of harbors. Thirty-three different ports were given a preliminary investigation.

Machining parameter study. Quarterly report, July--September, 1971 (open access)

Machining parameter study. Quarterly report, July--September, 1971

Tests indicate that certain machine tool conditions cause differences in the measured tensile creep of LX-04-1. Eight machining conditions were studied; high RPM, high feed rate, and shallow depth of cut gave the best results in terms of longest time to rupture while requiring moderate machining time.

Thermal properties and chemical reactivity. January--March, 1971 (open access)

Thermal properties and chemical reactivity. January--March, 1971

Two coupon test samples containing LX-09/Sylgard/Mulberry and LX-10/Sylgard/Mulberry were disassembled for evaluation. Thermal analysis data for the explosives and the analysis of the atmosphere are reported. Identification of several components in the atmosphere was made. The problems associated with the analysis of LX-09 for FEFO by gas chromatography are discussed and the data from the analysis of two specially prepared samples of LX-09 are reported. The data for a series of standard and modified Henkin time-to-explosion for PETN are reported. The modified time-to-explosion runs are first cooled for a fixed time, preheated for 40 to 80 seconds, recooled for a fixed time and then reheated until the sample explodes. A 0.42 cc liquid sample was trapped during the pump out of the W-68 AAU and a preliminary analysis of the sample is reported. The analysis of the atmosphere in the first samples from the PASS A LX-09 evaluation program is reported.

ANFOL synthesis. [Quarterly report], April--June 1971 (open access)

ANFOL synthesis. [Quarterly report], April--June 1971

A new method was developed for chlorination of 4,4-dinitropimelic acid with PCl{sub 5} using a Soxhlet extraction apparatus as the addition vessel. Acid used was that reclaimed from the purification of the crude acid chloride of 4,4-dinitropimelic acid supplied by LRL. Synthesis of FEFO plasticized AFNOL has been scaled up to a nominal 30-pound batch. Small batches and cure tests were run prior to the scaleup. Cure rate of the AFNOL system was followed by infrared spectrophotometry. The temperature range of 40-100 C was studied using the hot stage attachment to the infrared spectrophotometer.

Mathematical analysis of HE data. Quarterly report, July--September, 1971

A new approach to the analysis of capacitor discharge unit (CDU) current-time traces is discussed. The method involves the formulation of a mathematical model based on physical considerations of the system. The major objective in the analysis of a CDU current trace is the calculation of inductance (L) and resistance (R) of the system.

AFNOL synthesis. Quarterly report, October--December, 1971

Five batches of unplasticized AFNOL, each approximately one pound, were synthesized using 4,4-dinitropimelic acid as the starting material. Two 10 g batches were completed prior to the pound batches to assure the usability of the acid chloride. Characterization of each of the larger batches was by differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared spectrophotometry (IR), and cure tests. Some characterization was also done on the commercial chemicals used in the synthesis.

Calibration of a fluid for use in the aquarium technique from {minus}45 to +165 F. Quarterly report, April--June 1971 (open access)

Calibration of a fluid for use in the aquarium technique from {minus}45 to +165 F. Quarterly report, April--June 1971

In general, the distance-time history of a shock front moving through a transparent medium is obtained by the aquarium technique. Differentiation of the distance-time curve yields shock velocity information, and given the Hugoniot of the transparent medium, a pressure-time history may be calculated. Distilled water typically comprises the transparent medium for the aquarium technique, hence, desirable properties of the fluid to be selected were patterned after those of water. The aquarium technique has been extended to encompass the temperature range from {minus}45 to +165 F by selection and calibration of a dimethyl polysiloxane fluid suitable for the referenced range. Results are given for the Hugoniots, and techniques used in selection and calibration are discussed.

Detonation sphere. Quarterly report, April--June, 1971 (open access)

Detonation sphere. Quarterly report, April--June, 1971

The final HE test for the fiscal year was conducted in the 4-foot detonation sphere in May. A 200 g charge of 2-4-6 trinitrotoluene (1 1/2-inch diameter x 4 1/2-inch long) was initiated. On initiation, the TNT charge failed to detonate but instead partial deflagration of the HE took place. The ensuing pressure rise (54 torr vs. {approximately} 120 torr expected) implied a partial detonation; nevertheless, sampling and evaluation at the detonation products was continued. After removal of the products, the sphere was opened for inspection. The interior of the sphere was covered with a heavy carbon deposit adhering to a viscous film. Closer observation revealed granules of TNT embedded in the residual layer and also smeared on the surfaces of the involved hardware. Scrubbing with soap and water had no effect on the film; consequently, all the contamination was removed with acetone. Of the related hardware, only the copper cylinder suffered any damage. The cylinder was not fragmented; however, the internal diameter (1 1/2-inch) was found to have been enlarged by {le} 0.450 inch. The partitioned stainless steel tube suffered no distortion although the sections were propelled against the sphere wall. The data obtained for this test along with …
