Hill, J H; Chisum, G T; Richardson, R A

The objectives of this report were (1) to obtain measures of luminous densities during the first 100 milliseconds following the detonation of nuclear weapons; (2) to obtain field verification of the flashblinding effects of weapon flashes; and (3) to establish the extent of agreement between the degree of flashblindness produced by actual events and that produced in laboratory simulations.
