STRIKING EFFECT OF NUCLEAR EXPLOSION

Abstract

The book ''The Damaging Effect of Nuclear Explosions'' is based on material published in the foreign press. It gives a description of the striking power of nuclear weapons. The authors acquaint readers with methods of protection against nuclear weapons. The book contains a detailed and comprehensible explanation of the physical bases of atomic and thermonuclear munitions and considers the various damaging factors and simplest methods of calculating the area of the contaminated zone. The principal matter contained in the book is intended for an extensive circle of readers - servicemen in the Soviet army and navy and also members of the DOSAAF (Voluntary Armed Forces Organization) acquainted with the fundamentals of physics and mathematics. A small section of the book may interest military and signal specialists who have received greater training in the field. When reading the book the less specialized reader may leave aside the complex problems without fear of not understanding the book as a whole.
