A Proposed Rationale to Adapt DELFIC to Subsurface Bursts.

Abstract

The work reported here is intended to provide the basis for modifying the DELFIC fallout code for subsurface bursts. Models are presented for main cloud effective yield and soil loading, base surge radial growth, height and soil loading, and induced activity. The problem of using high explosive test results to supplement the nuclear data is discussed. (Author)
