UNDERGROUND EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE CLOSE-IN REGION, VOLUME 3

Abstract

This resume of free field effects is based entirely on the data presented in Volumes I, II, and IV. The discussion is given in two parts: air-induced effects and directly-transmitted effects. No means of combining air-induced and directly-transmitted effects has bee developed as yet; therefore, only surmise is possible regarding the possible combination of these ef fects. This part of the description of close-in weapons effects will remain unknown until a study of this aspect of the problem has been made. Such work has been proposed and results are to be expected within a year.
