Study by U S Atomic Energy Commission, California State Div of Highways, and Santa Fe Railway is discussed; highway and railroad relocation where Bristol Mountains created barrier too formidable for conventional grading equipment to remove economically was studied; it was determined that project, insofar as area of joint venture was concerned, was technically feasible; costs, exclusive of nuclear devices, were found to be much less than costs of conventional methods, and studies are made to determine whether Project Carryall can be justified economically.
