Fallout FALLOUT FORECASTS IN SURFACE AND UNDER WATER BURSTS
نویسنده
چکیده
‘The increased efficiency with which superweapons disperse radioactive materials is to some extent counter-acted by the delay in arrival of fallout from the high source cloud and the rapid rate of decay which occurs in the interim.’ – R.L. Stetson, E.A. Schuert, W.W. Perkins, T.H. Shirasawa, and H.K. Chan, Distribution and Intensity of Fallout, Operation Castle, Project 2.5a, U.S. Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory, weapon test report WT-915, January 1956, classified ‘Secret – Restricted Data’ (only 240 copies printed), p. 101.

A New Mechanism for H2o Precipitation on an Earlier
Introduction: There is considerable evidence derived from both orbital observations of geomorphology and geochemical and mineralogical investigations by the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) that suggests condensed H 2 O was present at some location on the Martian surface in the past history. Orbital measurements by the Gamma Ray Spectrometer on board the Mars Odyssey spacecraft also indicate that ...
متن کاملArchitectural Glass for Earthquake - resistant Buildings
Significant differences exist in the performance of various architectural glass types subjected to simulated earthquake conditions. Controlled laboratory studies were conducted to investigate the cracking resistance and fallout resistance of different types of architectural glass installed in the same storefront and mid-rise wall systems. Quantitative data obtained from these studies are summar...
متن کاملRadiation injury and effects of early fallout.
This is the second of four articles on the medical aspects of nuclear explosions. Last week described the blast and heat effects and explained that with modern large bombs significant radiation injury was likely to be due to fallout rather than to the radiation emitted by the explosion itself because most people subjected to the extremely short-lived initial radiation would be killed or fatally...
متن کاملCoupling of fog and marine microbial content in the near-shore coastal environment
Microbes in the atmosphere (microbial aerosols) play an important role in climate and provide an ecological and biogeochemical connection between oceanic, atmospheric, and terrestrial environments. However, the sources and environmental factors controlling the concentration, diversity, transport, and viability of microbial aerosols are poorly understood. This study examined culturable microbial...
متن کاملMonthly Runoff Predictions Based on Rainfall Forecasts in a Small Oklahoma Watershed
Conditions under which monthly rainfall forecasts translate into monthly runoff predictions that could support water resources planning and management activities were investigated on a small watershed in central Oklahoma. Runoff response to rainfall forecasts was simulated using the hydrologic model SWAT. Eighteen scenarios were examined that represented combinations of wet, average, and dry an...
