They will then lower a 20-kiloton device to the bottom, plug the shaft, and set off a nuclear blast. From experience with previous tests, the AEC knows that the explosion will create tremendous pressures that will literally push the rock away from the blast center, fracturing it in all directions. The result will be a cavity about 200 ft. in diameter; the surface of the earth will quake, but the AEC does not expect any radioactive debris...
