" THE ATOM UNDERGROUND " NUCLEAR FRACKING OF NATURAL GAS ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION 32212

Produced by Handel Film Corporation, “The Atom…Underground” is a 1960s color documentary film profiling Project Gasbuggy and Project Plowshare, which were ill-fated attempts to demonstrate the use of nuclear detonations for peaceful purposes, in this case extracting more oil and natural gas from underground through nuclear fracking. Plowshare was the overall United States term for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. It was the US portion of what are called Peaceful Nuclear Explosions (PNE). Pumpjacks in oil field (0:25). Apparatus for mining resources underground (0:42). Title page (0:57). Montage everyday uses of natural gas: Stove burner turned on in restaurant, at home (1:06). Animated demo showing strata diagram, how natural gasses are retrieved from reservoir (1:21). Illustrated view of gas in rock reservoir under microscope; Demo continues to show how gas is extracted through well; Old method of detonating nitroglycerin (2:06).
