This book was released on 1986 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the PEACE Program was to provide highly credible, multidisciplinary set of geologic, geophysical, and material-properties data in order to identify crater dimensions and features for two high-yield nuclear craters and to better understand the dynamic processes that initially formed these craters and that subsequently modified them. These data are essential to the Department of Defense to better understand the survivability of strategic defense systems in the event of a nuclear attack.
