THE BURNS UNDER A "HOT-WET" UNIFORM SPACED FROM SKIN FOR NUCLEAR WEAPON PULSES OF THERMAL RADIATION. Final Report
The burns to the skin of anesthetized rats were determined for the thermal radiation pulses of a carbon arc on a hot-wet uniform when spaced 5 mm from the skin. The radiant exposures to cause burns resulting in eschar were tion pulses corresponding to 250, 1000, 2900, and 10,000 kiloton detonations, respectively. The threshold lesions were caused by volatile products not associated with ignition. The associated temperatures were recorded. (auth)
