A Chemical Kiloton Experiment
at the Nevada Test Site

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) will conduct a large
chemical explosion (CE) called the Chemical Kiloton Experiment (CKE) in the
Rainier Mesa area of the Nevada Test site. The explosion will involve a 30/70
Emulsion-to-ANFO blend of 1,147,000. kg (2,536,000 lb) to supply 1 kt, and is
scheduled to occur approximately January 29, 1993. It will be heavily
instrumented with close-in free-field, surface seismic and regional seismic
measurements. The CKE is located near several DNA sponsored nuclear
explosions (NEs) and will provide a unique opportunity for fundamental
studies such as explosion phenomenology (e.g., CE/NE equivalence), scaling
with CEs and NEs, and integration of multiple monitoring methods. This
experiment will also address some critical proliferation monitoring problems
such as CE masking of NEs, CEs as false alarms, CEs for regional calibration
and on-site inspection.

Participating organizations include LLNL, Sandia National Laboratory, Los
Alamos National Laboratory, Phillips Laboratory, the University of Arizona
and the University of Nevada, Reno. Other technical organizations are
welcome to field recorders, analyze the results and contribute data to an
integrated data base. Those who are interested in more details regarding this
experiment should contact Don Larson of LLNL at 510-423-5162 or Fax 510-
423-4077. A meeting to discuss the CKE is planned during the Annual AGU
Meeting in San Francisco. For those interested in more detail about the
experiment, please check the AGU announcement bulletin board at the
conven-tion center for time and location.

One thig I have to say about this is that I hope they have declass'd footage out for this experiment.

1993: This research might have lead to developments in high energy and high insensitve explosives like AFX-757,777, etc...
