THE PHYSICS OF NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS AND THE EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. PART I (in German)

Journal Article · · Naturw. Rundschau
OSTI ID:4238311
The energy and radioactivity released by nuclear explosions are discussed, and nuclear explosions are described. Data are tabulated on: fission- prcduct activity versus times after explosion in the ranges 0 to 12 hours, 1 hr to 3 months and gamma activity 1 hr to 1 year; fireball radius versus time (0.0001 to 1 sec); temperature (0.0001 to 3 sec); fireball radius versus explosion energy; crater depth and diameter versus surface burst energy; crater radius versus explosion depth; and wave height versus distance from ground zero in 25 m water.
