Coden: SPFOA Publication Date: 1955 p 17-18 Document Type: Journal Article 9003990 Country of Publication: United States Abstract: The most recent data concerning the effects associated with explosions of nuclear weapons are presented. The data have been obtained from observations made of effects of nuclear bombing in Japan and tests carried out at the Eniwetok Proving Grounds and Nevada Test Site, as well as from experiments with conventional explosives, and mathematical calculations. The volume is intended for use in Pianning against possible nuclear attack. ; Major Descriptors: *NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS -- DATA
