Abstract
The D(t/r) dependence (where D is the shock wave velocity, t is the ti me, and r is the distance), obtained during underground nuclear explos ions, is analyzed to conclude about the presence of phase transformati ons in rock salt under these conditions. One of them (with the transfo rmation parameters D similar or equal to 5.9 km/s, P similar or equal to 24.0 GPa) presumably has the character of restructuring of the init ial NaCl structure into the lattice of the CsCl type, and the second t ransformation consists in the change of the aggregate state (transitio n from the solid to liquid phase).
