32 desperately trying to disperse their standing waves by converting their transmitters at Riga and Gomel to send out giant pulses of very high frequency energy. There was no apparent success and the waves continued on throughout May and into June. These three items when reviewed in context are obviously interrelated. In 1975 United States Air Force Major General George J. Keegan, who until his recent retirement headed U.S.A.F. Intelligence activities passed to William Colby, then head of the C.I.A. and to a number of its nuclear scientific advisors, detailed informetion showing that the U.S.S.R. was developing a chargedparticle beam device designed to destroy United States intercontinental submarine launched ballistic missile nuclear warheads. The activity is being carried on at Semipalatinsk some three hundred miles north of the Siberia/China/Mongolia joint border point. This installation involved a huge amount of civil engineering construction works, including enormous welded steel hollow spheres of such gigantic proportions that it is believed they are used as containers in which to detonate nuclear devices which thereby provide sufficient energy to drive the charged particle beams under development. The energy from the explosion is conducted over pressurized gaslines into giant capacitors inside one end of a large thick-walled building. Along the 700-ft side are located the electron injector gun and the collective accelerator. The power is fed into them to produce a proton beam which is bent at an angle by magnetic mirros and propelled near the speed of light along drift tubes running underground about a kilometer. The drift tubes are evacuated to stimulate operating the beam in space and are used only for beam propogation testing. There are five concentric rings constructed around the building about five kilometers apart. At each 5 degree of arc a vertical sensor is placed to measure beam impact for bean tracking. Even if this arrangement is successful in producing an effective electrical beam of charged particles sufficient to destroy an incoming ballistic missile, the whole thing is too cumbersom and clumsy for operational use. The amount of power is enormous and does not justify the end result. The dangers in operating something energized by nuclear detonation is enormous. At Azuir
