Experience gained with underground explosions, both contained and cratering, is discussed. Safety problems and cost of nuclear explosions are considered briefly. Possible applications of underground nuclear explosions are discussed in some detail, particularly in excavation projects (harbors, cannals, and removal of obstacles to navigation), mining, development of water resources, oil production, and power production.
