Symposium on Engineering with Nuclear Explosives, January 14-16, 1970, Las Vegas, Nevada; Proceedings, CONF-700101, Nuclear Explosions - Peaceful Applications (TID-4500)
1970. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 2 volumes. Volume 1, x 858, [2] pages and Volume 2, vi, 859-1785, [5] pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Formulae. References. Binding added, proceeding soft covers present. Cover has some wear and soiling. Sponsored by the American Nuclear Society in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission. Related to the Plowshare program. In structuring the technical presentations, contributions of the broadest interest were placed at the beginning, thus forming a common base of current information and applied science understanding developed in support of Plowshare technology. Sessions of specialty or pertaining to specific areas of application and engineering follow logically in the program. Name of previous owner, Jerry R. Kline, present on fep of each volume. This is believed to be the Jerry Kline who served at the Puerto Rico Nuclear Center (1965-68), Argonne National Laboratories (1968-1973) and with the Atomic Energy Commission and as an Administrative Judge on the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. Edward Teller was a presenter! This proceedings includes 112 papers presented at 15 technical sessions covered all technical aspects of the Plowshare Program. The conference summary reviewed the principal themes, areas of significant advance, and subjects requiring further attention that emerged during the technical conference. This proceeding is the record of this symposium. At this symposium there were 620 registrations, peak attendance in technical sessions was 800 and 28 members of the press attended. There were 16 foreign countries represented and 24 universities. In terms of industrial firms 117 were from the United States and 18 were foreign. The International Atomic Energy Agency participated, as did representatives from 5 foreign governments. Condition: Good.
