New Nuclear Vulnerability Data Base, Input Format, and Supporting Software for RCC

Abstract

The BRL developed Residual Combat Capability (RCC) methodology, which includes a nuclear vulnerability data bank, was specifically designed to be easily used. The state-of-the-art technique for the description of the nuclear vulnerability of military targets involves cumulative failure distributions. The parameters which characterize these distributions are floating point numbers: constants and logarithms of means and variances. Since many such numbers are involved, handling them is difficult and error-prone. Therefore, an interactive program to interface nuclear data into RCC, with data base management capabilities, was developed. Through the program, the user can interactively store or manipulate nuclear vulnerability data in the standard format, and output data files in English-word, user-oriented format compatible with all other RCC inputs.
