This book was released on 2005-10-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underground facilities are used extensively by many nations to conceal and protect strategic military functions and weapons' stockpiles. Because of their depth and hardened status, however, many of these strategic hard and deeply buried targets could only be put at risk by conventional or nuclear earth penetrating weapons (EPW). Recently, an engineering feasibility study, the robust nuclear earth penetrator program, was started by DOE and DOD to determine if a more effective EPW could be designed using major components of existing nuclear weapons. This activity has created some controversy about, among other things, the level of collateral damage that would ensue if such a weapon were used. To help clarify this issue, the Congress, in P.L. 107-314, directed the Secretary of Defense to request from the NRC a study of the anticipated health and environmental effects of nuclear earth-penetrators and other weapons and the effect of both conventional and nuclear weapons against the storage of biological and chemical weapons. This report provides the results of those analyses. Based on detailed numerical calculations, the report presents a series of findings comparing the effectiveness and expected collateral damage of nuclear EPW and surface nuclear weapons under a variety of conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains information on protective capabilities of a variety of different personnel shelters against prompt effects of nuclear weapons. This information was collected from previous studies performed for DCPA in this subject area. Protective capabilities are expressed in terms of 'people survivability functions' which relate the probability of survival (or percent survivors) to the free field overpressure at the shelter site. Respective shelters are described in terms of their geometry and material properties. The following shelter categories are included. (1) Existing Engineered Buildings (Upper Stories and Basements), (2) Designed Basements, (3) Single-Purpose Shelters, (4) Dual-Purpose Shelters, (5) Expedient and Special Purpose Shelters and (6) Expediently Upgraded Shelters.

This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop on August 22â€"23, 2018, in Washington, DC, to explore medical and public health preparedness for a nuclear incident. The event brought together experts from government, nongovernmental organizations, academia, and the private sector to explore current assumptions behind the status of medical and public health preparedness for a nuclear incident, examine potential changes in these assumptions in light of increasing concerns about the use of nuclear warfare, and discuss challenges and opportunities for capacity building in the current threat environment. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do persons exposed to radiation suffer genetic effects that threaten their yet-to-be-born children? Researchers are concluding that the genetic risks of radiation are less than previously thought. This finding is explored in this volume about the children of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasakiâ€"the population that can provide the greatest insight into this critical issue. Assembled here for the first time are papers representing more than 40 years of research. These documents reveal key results related to radiation's effects on pregnancy termination, sex ratio, congenital defects, and early mortality of children. Edited by two of the principal architects of the studies, J. V. Neel and W. J. Schull, the volume also offers an important comparison with studies of the genetic effects of radiation on mice. The wealth of technical details will be immediately useful to geneticists and other specialists. Policymakers will be interested in the overall conclusions and discussion of future studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nuclear weapons, since their conception, have been the subject of secrecy. In the months after the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the American scientific establishment, the American government, and the American public all wrestled with what was called the "problem of secrecy," wondering not only whether secrecy was appropriate and effective as a means of controlling this new technology but also whether it was compatible with the country's core values. Out of a messy context of propaganda, confusion, spy scares, and the grave counsel of competing groups of scientists, what historian Alex Wellerstein calls a "new regime of secrecy" was put into place. It was unlike any other previous or since. Nuclear secrets were given their own unique legal designation in American law ("restricted data"), one that operates differently than all other forms of national security classification and exists to this day. Drawing on massive amounts of declassified files, including records released by the government for the first time at the author's request, Restricted Data is a narrative account of nuclear secrecy and the tensions and uncertainty that built as the Cold War continued. In the US, both science and democracy are pitted against nuclear secrecy, and this makes its history uniquely compelling and timely"--

Download or read book Nuclear War Survival written by David Kobler and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s global political climate is volatile, with the threat of a world nuclear war looming daily. Modern hypersonic warheads can reach any city on the planet in just 20 minutes, making them nearly impossible to defend against or warn about. Considering that the side which strikes first has a higher chance of winning by overwhelming the enemy, the actual “red lines” are unknown to everyone outside the smallest circles of power. Once these lines are crossed by one side or the other, it will be too late for everyone else to prepare for a nuclear war. So, is investing 1 hour of your time learning nuclear war survival skills and how to survive a nuclear war worthwhile? The devastating events in Hiroshima and Nagasaki proved that there will always be survivors in the aftermath of a nuclear explosion. These people did a few things right that made all the difference, and after reading or listening to this short book, you’ll know these critical steps too. By dedicating just 10-15 minutes each day to reading or listening, you'll quickly learn (in less than a week):The science behind nuclear weapons and how they operate. The five types of damage they cause and how to protect yourself and your loved ones from each. How to prepare and recover from a nuclear attack in your area. Strategies for shielding yourself from fallout and safely decontaminating water. How to identify high-risk targets and assess your radiation exposure. Different building materials and how they act as a protective shelter. The essential supplies you need to survive. The steps you need to take to protect your electronics from an EMP. How to identify radiation poisoning and the role of potassium iodide tablets. The minimum amount of time you need to stay inside a shelter after a nuclear detonation nearby, and how to know when it is safe to come out. And much more. The basics take about an hour to read or listen to, and the bonus information takes just a few minutes longer. Surviving a nuclear war is possible with the right preparation. You'll know exactly what to do before and after a nuclear attack in one short hour. he possibility of another world war is always present, and most people believe it's not a matter of "if" but "when." However, like insurance, being prepared is always better than being caught off guard. So, why not take the time to cover the basics in just 60 minutes of reading or listening? Be ready for one of the worst and most stressful situations imaginable, just in case. David Kobler is an Infantry Veteran with extensive combat experience in stressful survival situations. He has worked as an expert advisor on National Geographic's Doomsday Preppers series and lectured about emergency preparedness at several events across the United States.
