PROTECTION OF EXPOSED PARTS OF SHELTERS AGAINST THERMAL RADIATION FROM MEGATON WEAPONS
Abstract
A theoretical study is made to determine the effects on the exposed parts of underground shelters of thermal radiation from the explosion of nuclear weapons. Simple carbon and graphite shields are discussed, and more sophisticated shielding systems are proposed for future experimental studies.
