 | Globally, potential adversaries are building ever more complex, stronger, and deeper fortifications which are largely immune to the current U.S. weapons inventory. Advanced construction and design techniques coupled with technological improvements in mining have created a perfect storm of ultra-strong fortifications located at depths unreachable to all but the most distinctive and matchless weapon systems. A new domain is emerging that must be appreciated for its dynamic effect on policy, ... |

|
| The objective of this project was to assess the performance of nonstandard underground heat distribution system (UHDS) designs being implemented at various Department of Defense (DoD) installations. These systems incorporate nonmetallic cladding and alternative insulation materials that are advertised to improve energy conservation and corrosion resistance, but they deviate from established guide specifications for UHDS. The ongoing reliable operation of UHDS on military installations is mission-critical, and service interruptions can ... |

|
 | How to safely dispose of waste from the production of nuclear weapons has been a longstanding issue. The most radioactive of these wastes are stored in underground tanks at Department of Energy (DOE) sites in Idaho, South Carolina, and Washington state. There have been concerns about soil and groundwater contamination, as some of the tanks are known or suspected to be leaking. DOE proposed to pump out the liquid waste, ... |

Jonathan Medalia; LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON DC CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE
|
| The Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP), often called a "bunker buster," is at present the subject of a cost and feasibility study to determine if either of two nuclear bombs, the B61 and the B83, could be modified, mainly by adding a heavy, pointed case, so as to be able to penetrate perhaps 10 meters into earth or rock. This penetration would increase the weapon's ability, by a factor of ... |

|
| The Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 280-281) required all underground storage tanks (USTs) containing petroleum products to be brought into compliance to prevent environmental contamination through leakage. Replacing all older USTs can, in some cases, be prohibitively expensive. One alternative to requiring that tanks pass a precision tightness test is to retrofit USTs with cathodic protection for continued use. This report introduced a remote, robotic UST condition inspection/assessment system ... |

| We have developed a new technique for imaging underground facilities based on the passive monitoring of acoustic emissions from both stationary and moving equipment within such facilities. It is well known that all mechanical devices, such as motors, gears, etc, emit acoustic signals. It is possible to identify an acoustic source based on its noise spectrum. Passive "listening" has been considered and employed in the past to detect underground structures ... |

| I am pleased to be here today to discuss the increasing concern that our nation's waters are becoming contaminated with methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). About a third of the states, in certain areas, use gasoline that contains MTBE to help them limit air pollution because it burns cleaner. However, the substance could also pose risks to human health, especially as a contaminant in drinking water wells. One of the ... |

| This report evaluates the use of gravity gradiometry as a tool to characterize underground facilities. The gradient of the Earth's gravitational field can be used to make inferences about the Earth's mass density field. Mass deficits, such as those produced when an underground region is excavated, produce a characteristic change in the Earth's gravitational field. In principle, gradiometric measurements can make inferences about mass deficits that are covered by hundreds ... |

| Subterranean warfare has evolved throughout history into what has become a technique for possibly negating the effect of air power. From the ancient underground structures in what is now present day to the heavily defended and fortified bunkers located in Iraq during Desert Storm subterranean warfare has time and time again negated the otherwise overwhelming destructive capability of superior air power. Analysis of warfare leads to several conclusions, as evidenced ... |

|
| The underground detonation of an explosive device produces shock waves such as Primary waves (P-waves) and Secondary (or Shear) waves (S-waves). These waves cause buildup of pressures within a soil medium. These pressures have the capability of rendering destructive forces on underground structures, and consequently represent life threatening danger. Understanding these forces can aid in the design of underground structures to withstand such pressures, or ... |
