We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

PHYSICAL RESEARCH 31 libraries, and the Graphic Arts Department, Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, P. O. Box 808, Livermore, California. Cleared for television. This semitechnical motion picture reports on the July 6, 1962 nuclear cratering detonation at the Nevada Test Site. This was the first of a series of experiments under the Atomic Energy Commission's Plow- share Program to determine the feasibility of nuclear excavations. The specific objective was to determine the cratering and radioactivity entrapment effects of detonating a 100-kiloton nuclear device buried 635 feet in desert alluvium. The film discusses the relationships be- tween depth of explosion and crater size, and depth of explosion and containment of radioactivity. It shows the location, slow-motion shots of the detonation, the area covered by the base surge, the crater (1200 feet in diameter, 320 feet in depth), the fallout pattern, and relates the experiment to possible large-scale excavation projects such as harbors and canals.

Cleared for television. This filmed lecture by Dr. H. Pierre Noyes is intended primarily for use in a graduate course in, or a seminar on, nuclear physics. It attempts to give an overall picture of the route followed in passing from single-, double-, and triple-scatter ing experiments to a unique description of the scattering matrix in terms of phase shifts. Although the formal mathematics introduced is kept to a minimum, it presup- poses that the student knows what a wave function is, how probability- current is computed from a wave function, and what is meant by a quantum-mechanical state. It is therefore not suitable for use in an undergraduate course or a seminar unless that course has already introduced these concepts to the students. Topics mentioned in the film are as follows: relation between scattering cross section and
