Nuclear Weapons and Explosions Environmental Impacts and Other Effects is a unique book in terms of coverage scope elaboration usefulness and futuristic prospective. It covers the subject area of major impacts of nuclear weapons and explosions in its totality and gives a detailed fact sheet on nuclear weapons and accidents. A nuclear weapon derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions of fission or fusion thus making even a nuclear weapon with a relatively small yield significantly more powerful than the largest conventional explosives. Consequently a single weapon is capable of destroying an entire city like Hiroshima. Nuclear explosives have been tested and used for various non military uses. Nuclear explosions produce both immediate and delayed destructive effects such as blasts and radioactive fallouts. The impacts and injuries caused by nuclear blasts and resulting radiation effects causing cancer congenital defects mental retardation immune destruction cancer stillbirths and other health problems is discussed in detail. Besides the blast and radiation damage from individual bombs a large scale nuclear exchange between nations could conceivably have a catastrophic global effect on climate and pollute vast amounts of soil and water. The book is divided into seven chapters and is a must read and addition for all concerned with nuclear safety. 336 pp.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. "Nuclear Weapons are distinguished from the more conventional weapons of war, such as shells and small arms ammunition, by the widespread and devastating nature of their effects. Thus by their very nature and the sometimes irrational emotions that are stirred by their proposed use, the decision to use such weapons is taken from the hands of the Commanders and retained under political control. Nuclear weapons have been used twice in history, at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in strategic circumstances to end the war against Japan and save the massive casualties which would have resulted on both sides from an invasion of the Japanese mainland. Thus we have some idea of their effects against cities and civil populations but have as yet never been used against troops in the field. Likely effects have been assessed from live weapon testing and by using simulators. But although we have a fair knowledge of the effect on equipment and the physical and physiological effect on men, we have no experience of the effect on morale. We can safely assume it to be detrimental and severe." Ex military library stock so expect to see light wear and possible markings and annotations in the text. No Dust-jacket. Minor wear and marking.

Letter from the Study Director to a Department of Energy official providing copies laid in. Table of Contents includes: Front Matter; Summary; 1 Introduction; 2 Hard and Deeply Buried Targets; 3 Earth-Penetrator Weapons; 4 Effectiveness of Nuclear Weapons Against Hard and Deeply Buried Targets; 5 Fallout and Tools for Calculating Effects of Release of Hazardous Materials; 6 Human and Environmental Effects; 7 Conventional Weapons; 8 Uncertainty in Estimates of Effects; 9 Conclusions; Appendix A: Committee and Staff; Appendix B: Agendas; Appendix C: Equivalent Yield Factors for Energy Coupling; and Appendix D: Acronyms and Abbreviations. An earth-penetrating weapon (EPW), is the nuclear equivalent of the conventional bunker buster. The non-nuclear component of the weapon is designed to penetrate soil, rock, or concrete to deliver a nuclear warhead to an underground target. These weapons would be used to destroy hardened, underground military bunkers or other below-ground facilities. An underground explosion releases a larger fraction of its energy into the ground, compared to a surface burst or air burst explosion at or above the surface, and so can destroy an underground target using a lower explosive yield. This in turn could lead to a reduced amount of radioactive fallout. However, it is unlikely that the explosion would be completely contained underground. As a result, significant amounts of rock and soil would be rendered radioactive and lofted as dust or vapor into the atmosphere, generating significant fallout. Underground facilities are used extensively by many nations to conceal and protect strategic military functions and weapons' stockpiles. Because of their depth and hardened status, however, many of these strategic hard and deeply buried targets could only be put at risk by conventional or nuclear earth penetrating weapons (EPW). Recently, an engineering feasibility study, the robust nuclear earth penetrator program, was started by DOE and DOD to determine if a more effective EPW could be designed using major components of existing nuclear weapons. This activity has created some controversy about, among other things, the level of collateral damage that would ensue if such a weapon were used. To help clarify this issue, the Congress, in P.L. 107-314, directed the Secretary of Defense to request from the NRC a study of the anticipated health and environmental effects of nuclear earth-penetrators and other weapons and the effect of both conventional and nuclear weapons against the storage of biological and chemical weapons. This report provides the results of those analyses. Based on detailed numerical calculations, the report presents a series of findings comparing the effectiveness and expected collateral damage of nuclear EPW and surface nuclear weapons under a variety of conditions.…
