  • NUCLEAR WEAPONS EFFECTS Introduction: the Energy Characteristics and Output from Nuclear Weapons Differ Significantly from Conve
    NUCLEAR WEAPONS EFFECTS Introduction: The energy characteristics and output from nuclear weapons differ significantly from conventional weapons. Nuclear detonations exhibit much higher temperature within the fireball and produce peak temperatures of several hundred million degrees and intense x-ray heating that results in air pressure pulses of several million atmospheres. Conventional chemical explosions result in much lower temperatures and release the bulk of their energy as air blast and shock waves. In an atmospheric detonation, such as was deployed in Japan, it is the blast and thermal component of the nuclear explosion that is the major factor in destruction and death, not nuclear radiation, as the public believes. The effective range of immediate harm to humans from nuclear radiation from the atmospheric explosion is much less than the effective range from blast and thermal heating. In order to limit the discussion of weapons effects to elementary terms, this discussion is based upon a single worst-case scenario. Probably the largest weapon that might be employed against a population would have a yield of less than one-megaton (or 1 million tons of TNT equivalent energy or simply 1 MT). However, a crude terrorist nuclear device would probably be in the range of a few thousand tons of TNT equivalent energy or a few KT). The discussion here is based upon a nuclear detonation of 1 MT. Yield: The destructive power of a nuclear weapon, when compared to the same amount of energy produced by TNT is defined as the ‘yield’ of the nuclear weapon. A 20-kiloton (KT) weapon, such as was detonated over Japan in World War II was equivalent in energy yield to 20,000 tons of TNT.

  • The Effects of Nuclear War
    The Effects of Nuclear War May 1979 NTIS order #PB-296946 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 79-600080 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D C, 20402 — Foreword This assessment was made in response to a request from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to examine the effects of nuclear war on the populations and economies of the United States and the Soviet Union. It is intended, in the terms of the Committee’s request, to “put what have been abstract measures of strategic power into more comprehensible terms. ” The study examines the full range of effects that nuclear war would have on civilians: direct effects from blast and radiation; and indirect effects from economic, social, and politicai disruption. Particular attention is devoted to the ways in which the impact of a nuclear war would extend over time. Two of the study’s principal findings are that conditions would con- tinue to get worse for some time after a nuclear war ended, and that the ef- fects of nuclear war that cannot be calculated in advance are at least as im- portant as those which analysts attempt to quantify. This report provides essential background for a range of issues relating to strategic weapons and foreign policy. It translates what is generally known about the effects of nuclear weapons into the best available estimates about the impact on society if such weapons were used. It calls attention to the very wide range of impacts that nuclear weapons would have on a complex industrial society, and to the extent of uncertainty regarding these impacts.

  • Direct Effects of Nuclear Detonations
    Environmental Consequences of Nuclear War Volume I: Physical and Atmospheric Effects A. B. Pittock, T. P. Ackerman, P. J. Crutzen, M. C. MacCracken, C. S. Shapiro and R. P. Turco @ 14Sb SCOPE. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd CHAPTER 1 Direct Effects of Nuclear Detonations 1.1 HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI 1.1.1 Historical Notes The first atomic weapon used in warfare was the bomb dropped on Hi- roshima, Japan at 8:15 AM (local time) on August 6,1945, The second, and only other, weapon so used was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan at 11:02 AM on August 9,1945. The Hiroshima bomb (Little Boy) had an energy yield of about 15:t 3 kilotons (kt; a one kt explosion is equivalent in energy release to the detonation of about 1000 tons of TNT; one megaton, Mt, equals 1000 kT). The Nagasaki bomb (Fat Man) had an energy yield of 21:t2 kilotons (Ohkita, 1985). From these unique events, much of what is known about the effects of nuclear explosions on people and cities has been learned. About 120,000 people were killed outright in both cities, and the eventual fatalities, as of 1981, were about 210,000 (Ishikawa and Swain, 1981). In Hiroshima, an urbanized area of approximately 13 square kilometers was laid to waste, while in Nagasaki, an area approximately 7 square kilometers was destroyed. Figure 1.1 starkly illustrates the extent of the devastation in central Hiroshima; only the hulks of the most resilient steel-reinforced concrete buildings were left standing. 1.1.2 Physical Effects of the Bombings Both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear explosions were airbursts-at elevations of 580 meters and 500 meters, respectively.

This book is a journey from 1945 when the first atomic bomb was detonated in the New Mexico desert to where we are today. It’s an interesting and sometimes bizarre journey. It can also be horribly frightening. Today, there are enough nuclear weapons to destroy the civilized world several times over. Over 23,000. “Enough to make the rubble bounce,” Winston Churchill said. The United States alone has over 10,000 warheads in what’s called the ‘enduring stockpile.’ In my time, we took care of things Mano-a-Mano.

  • AP-42 CH 15.8.1 Signals and Simulators
    15.8 Signals And Simulators Munitions listed in this section begin with the Department of Defense Identification Code (DODIC) letter “L.” Almost all munitions beginning with the DODIC letter L are used for signaling, although simulators used in training also fall under this category. Examples include green parachute signal flares, surface trip flares, ground burst simulators, and flash artillery simulators. 15.8.1 L305, M195 Green Star Parachute Signal Flare 15.8.1.1 Ordnance Description1 Signal flares are pyrotechnic devices used for signaling and illumination. Pyrotechnics give off smoke, light, and/or a loud noise when activated. Signal flares are used for communication among troops in the field and for illumination. The M195 Green Star Parachute Signal Flare (DODIC L305) is used for signaling and illumination. It uses a rocket that is launched from a hand-held device. After ignition, the rocket reaches a height of about 200 feet and produces a single, green-star illumination resembling a firework. The signal extends to a height of 700 to 750 feet and can be seen from a distance of 30 to 35 miles at night. This signal flare uses a rocket motor propulsion assembly contained in an aluminum launching tube. The M195 Green Star Parachute Signal Flare uses a parachute-suspended illuminant assembly. 15.8.1.2 Emissions And Controls2-5 The primary emissions from the use of the M195 Green Star Parachute Signal Flare are particulate matter and carbon dioxide (CO2). Other criteria pollutants, hazardous air pollutants as defined by the Clean Air Act (CAA), and toxic chemicals (i.e., those chemicals regulated under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act [EPCRA]) are emitted at very low levels.
