Black and white photograph of five individuals at the site of Project Gasbuggy. Louis H. Hempelmann (1914-1993), the chairman of the Department of Radiology at the University of Rochester, is pictured in the front row on the right.
Project Gasbuggy was a joint experiment by the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), the Department of the Interior, and the El Paso Natural Gas Company, to determine if nuclear explosives could be used to extract natural gas. Project Gasbuggy was part of Project Plowshare, the AEC's effort to develop peacetime uses for nuclear explosives.
