RESEARCH ON GEOLOGIC EFFECTS OF UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS IN A SAHARA GRANITE MASSIF

摘要

The purpose of this thesis is to present the main results of geologic studies carried out on underground nuclear explosions in a Hugger granite massif.nIt includes original work undertaken both directly to analyze the transformations due to the tests within the framework of research undertaken by the Sous-Direction des Essays du Commissariat a 1'Energie Atomique and, from a broader and more personal point of view, to determine first the environment and then the geologic perspectives from earlier studies.
