    Ahh, the good old days, before we started peeing our pants over increasing CO2 levels.

    Project Plowshare was a series of experiments to evaluate the utility of nuclear detonations for peaceful [non-warfare] purposes. Harbor and canal excavations, natural gas production-stimulation, interplanetary rocket propulsion, underground cavity creation, and the like. Nuclear energy was the newest, hottest [pun intended], most POWERFUL force humans had ever created.

    So, of course, lots of folks wanted to know what it could do.

    That was Engineering, not Evil.
