.. Followed U.S. "Plowshare" programme from 'the early stages.

Ã¢ÂÂ¢. In 1963, headed a group of Australian technical officers which visited the United States at the invitation of the United States Atomic Energy Commission to examine the use of underground nuclear explosives for civil purposes.

The group examined the scientific, engineering and safety aspects of the use of nuclear explosives.

The report of the Mission was published by the U.S.A.E.C. "because of the wide usefulness it epears to have in the United States. Inasmuch as the Australian team came to the United States to obtain a first—hand ap preciation of the

scientific, engineering and safety aspects of the use of nuclear explosives for constructive purposes and all available unclassified technical information on the subjects of interest to them was made available ., their report represents a milestone, independent technical a p praisal of the Plowshare programme as of September, 1963. In addition, their report provides a useful compendium of, and introduction to,

technical information of engineering interest.And it should also serve to guide those working in the field to those areas which were considered important for future

development by the Australian experts.".

On behalf of the International Atomic Energy Agency, served as an Advisor to the Panamanian Government on the safety aspects of the Trans—Isthmian Canal Project.

Has taken part at the invitation of the International Atomic Energy Agency on a number of ex p ert panels to draft standards and regulations on safety matters.
