Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book presents geological and environmental insights into whether the land in northeastern Illinois would be suitable for the construction of the US Department of Energy's particle accelerator, the Superconducting Super Collider. The author started this investigation in 1984 by conducting a field investigation including drilling holes into the bedrock to assess stability, distribution, lithology, and water flow. The author’s findings conclude that the bedrock strata targeted for the tunnel and other facilities are thick, stable, and uniform enough to contain the facility. Additionally, enough water exists sufficiently far away from the Galena-Platteville dolomites targeted for the tunnel, so water supply would not be affected. This book is a comprehensive and significant study of the geological and environmental conditions necessary for the construction of the Superconducting Super Collider. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
