Calculations of Environments from Low-Yield Nuclear Detonations (RAD9 Code Results).
Abstract
The Defense Nuclear Agency has supported an extensive program to better define the blast, thermal and initial nuclear radiation environments associated with low-yield shallow buried nuclear device detonations. This report and the appendix include detailed results of 2-D rad-hydro computations for two geometries of interest using the KSC version of the RAD9 Code. The RAD9 Code is briefly described and results are shown for a 1-KT source at burial depths of 0.5 and 3.0 meters. Because of the limitations in the scope of work, additional tasks are suggested which would provide information on the effect of yield on air blast and sensitivity of results to equations of state.
