US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet on Friday (August 15, 2025) in Ankrej, Alaska. This is the first step of further conversation. Trump has clearly stated that his priority is to get a peace agreement immediately. Please tell that there is such an anecdote of this Alaska, which you will also be surprised to know.

In 1958, the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) claimed that it would take just a few seconds to create a harbor on Alaska’s North-West Coast. The way of blasting 6 nuclear bombs in the ground between Cape Thompson and Chukchi C was suggested. The explosion would have been about 8 times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. He believed that if the blast is done in the right season and between the ice layer, then the effect of radiation will be very low and the local hunting season will have only a few weeks.

What was the project chairut?
Nuclear power was to be used for modern engineering and development under Project Chairriot. The biggest dream was to create a new ‘sea-level canal’, which is faster and secure than the Panama Canal. At that time, the Panama Canal had a lock system to up and down the ships, which used to take 12 hours for the journey. It could have been completely useless as soon as a lock was spoiled.

Why did this project have to be closed?
Actually, the area selected for Project Chairost was the home of the Inupiyat tribe. AEC believed that the risk would be low due to the low population, but the local people there strongly opposed it. He feared that radiation would contaminate their prey, fish and drinking water forever.

In 1962, AEC dropped the project chair. After nearly a decade, the entire ploshare program stopped, but the idea of using nuclear power in a creative manner still comes. Alan Musk suggested thermonuclear blast to make Mars liable.
