Abstract:
The report contains a description of a deterministic, computerized method simulation model for predicting the survivability relative safety of people located in conventional NFSS buildings when subjected to the direct effects of nuclear weapons. Effects considered include thermal radiation, prompt nuclear radiation, primary blast and secondary blast, i.e., the effects of flow velocities and debris. This is an operational tool which has been applied to the analysis of existing buildings which were surveyed in detail. Related topics considered in this study include distribution of blast-initiated debris, shelter-cost and effectiveness comparisons and survivability of people in special permanent and expedient shelters.
