A number of models that predict the impulse generated in solid targets by short high-intensity radiation loads are described. It is shown that the impulse is insensitive to the details of the energy deposition and interaction processes. Thus with the proper nondimensionalization and normalization, all the models are known to be very nearly equivalent. 5 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
