Long-term worldwide effects of multiple nuclear-weapons detonations
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6440316
This highly disciplined study of a chilling scenario--the massive exchange of nuclear weapons involving yields on the order of 10,000 megatons of TNT equivalent-concentrates on the physical and biological effects in nations distant from the detonation sites. It examines the effects of the hypothetical nuclear exchange on the atmosphere and climate, natural terrestrial ecosystems, agriculture and animal husbandry, the aquatic environment, and the somatic and genetic characteristics of humans.
