Estimates of Thermal Radiation Environments got Planning a Thermal Simulation on a HE Test

Abstract

Data and guidelines were developed that will assist future experimental planning of a thermal radiation and airblast high explosive event. Estimates of nuclear radiation environments that are to be simulated in the event are made, and placement of the SAI thermal radiation devices are considered in the context of an airblast environment. The results are expected to help guide subsequent test planning.
