What is Project Pameshare?

Project Pameshare, officially known as Operation Pameshare, was an effort to develop nuclear weapons for peaceful civilian purposes such as creating artificial ports or breaking underground walls between natural gas deposits. The project was named in 1961, from the biblical line about the beating of the swords to the Pameshares. This is a metaphor for the recommendation of any war tool to the Peace tool. Project Pameshare was mirrored by a similar project in the Soviet Union about ten years later, "nuclear explosion for the national economy". These ideas included an extension of the Panama channel, creating a new channel via Nicaragui called the Pan-Atom Channel, blowing roads across the mountains for highways, joining inland river systems, joining underground pouring in Arizona or blowing caves underground for storage, natural gas or oil. No ZSE has ever happened, even if there have been tests.

28 Tests for the Project of the Flowshare. The first application of peace nuclear explosives was to be the project Chariot, SNAha to create an artificial port on Cape Thompson on Alaska by releasing five thermonuclear explosions. However, the objections of the natives and the little economic benefit that he gained from danger was postponed.

Shortly thereafter, the atomic explosion ended and the atomic concept, on 6 July 1962 in Yucca flats in South Nevada. The bomb was reduced to the bottom of the shaft 194 m (635 ft) deep and then fired. The explosion was displaced by 12 million tons of land and created a radioactive cloud that rose to 12,000 ft (3.7 km). This radioactive cloud of dust then floated hundreds of kilometers to the southeast and below it fell fragments of material. The result was the largest man crater in the United States, 100 m deep (320 ft), with a diameter of 390 m (1280 ft).

Project Pameshare continued to watch for more than ten years, until 1977, although all explosions were just tests. In that year, Congress quietly ended the project financing andIt was rarely mentioned. In the 70s and 80s. The popular opinion turned against nuclear testing and today international treaties prohibit all explosions of non -Grounds, thus trying to further this concept.
