The former military site which was used to test nuclear weapons soon might be used to create lab-grown diamonds. The act of installing includes a cylindrical pool with 10 centimeters thick walls, 24 meters in diameter and 24 meters deep, and containing an immersed 450 tons steel ball 12 meters in diameter. The pool apparently is capable of bearing explosions using up to 1000 kilograms of TNT, and had been used to produce lab-grown diamonds.
