The answer is a nuclear
explosion — if you are
thinking of blasting a new
canal through the Panama
Isthmus.
The United States, which
Is thinking hard about
doing this, is trying to find
the happy medium in big-
bang sizes.
One real sockeroo slash-
ing a new ditch between
the Atlantic and Pacific
would be ideal from * cost
point of view.
The reason is that most
of the expense of a nuclear
blast is in the fission trig-
ger. This stays fairly con-
stant regardless of size —
so one big explosion Is
cheaper than a lot of little
ones.
But no one wants to flat-
ten half the hemisphere
just to get a new canal.
This is where the Atlan-

WASHINGTON - What

tic-Pacific Interoceanic
Canal Study Commission
came in.
The commission was
formed in 1964 to study
possible sites and methods
for a new, sea-level canal.
It is also considering the
addition of a third system
of locks to the existing ca-
nal, whose sections are at
different levels.
“A conventional sea-lev-
el canal can be done and
can be operated satisfacto-
rily,” the commission's ex-
ecutive director, John
Sheffey, said. “It may
cost, but it can be done.”
The question of nuclear
against conventional exca-
vation has not been decid-
ed. The commission has

until December next year
to report.
Nuclear excavation
would be cheaper if all
went well — but it has "so
many unknowns,” Sheffey
said.
The biggest problem, he
explained, would be a
“slide” or collapse of a nu-
clear crater. The mess
would have to be cleaned
up by non-nuclear methods
and the costs of the clean-
up might be enormous.
If everything went
smoothly, Sheffey said, a
sea-level canal built with
nuclear methods would
cost between $1 billion and
$1.5 billion. Estimates for
conventional construction
run about $2 billion.
