The Pacific Enewetak Atoll Crater Exploration (PEACE)
Program was established to resolve a number of questions
for the Department of Defense (DOD) about the geologic
and material-properties parameters of two craters
(KOA
and OAK), formed by near-surface bursts of high-yield
thermonuclear devices on the northern margin of Enewetak
Atoll, Marshall Islands, in 1958. The multidisciplinary
studies conducted by the USGS in collaboration with
other organizations during 1984 through 1987 were part
of a much larger research initiative by the DNA to
better understand the dynamic properties of
strategic-scale nuclear bursts and the relevance of the
Pacific Proving Grounds
(PPG)
craters to
issues of
strategic basing and targeting of nuclear weapons. Major
topics include: Borehole gravity; Palentologic evidence
for mixing; Electron paramagnetic resonance studies;
Bathymetric studies of OAK crater; Constraints on
densification and piping for OAK; and Additional studies
