Abstract: A general discussion is presented on the possibility of using nuclear explosions for preserving and facilitating the recovery of natural resources that are now being wasted or not fully utilized. Some discussion is also presented on the program (Project Plowshare) initiated by the United States to explore the peaceful uses of nuclear explosives. Other possible uses of the explosions are: excavationy preservation of water resources, and production of power. The major problems of foreign assistance through Project Plowshare are also discussed.
