Structure Shielding Against Fallout Gamma Rays from Nuclear Detonations (Classic Reprint) by L. V. Spencer Pdf
Excerpt from Structure Shielding Against Fallout Gamma Rays From Nuclear Detonations Attempts to develop satisfactory methods for estimating the shielding properties of ordinary buildings against gamma rays from radioactive fallout began in the early 1950's. Intensive research of many kinds was carried out during the decade from about 1956 to 1966; but in the past decade, there has been a steady decline of new research on these problems. There are many reasons for this, one of which is not, however, the achievement of a fully satisfactory state of the technology. An updating and improvement of the material presented here is overdue, but is not easily effected. We intend this publication to serve 1) as a reference for engineering students, 2) as a reference and source of ideas for engineers engaged in research and development on radiation shielding problems, 3) as a basic reference by architects and engineers concerned with the design of buildings with protective features, and 4) a reference for officials responsible for civil protection in nuclear emergencies. These multiple uses are expected partly because this is the first attempt to bring together and summarize much of the material presented.

Ground Roughness Effects on the Energy and Angular Distribution of Gamma Radiation from Fallout by C. M. Huddleston,Zolin G. Burson,R. M. Kinkaid,Q. C. Klinger Pdf
The effect of ground roughness on the radiation field above ground that has been contaminated with fallout from the explosion of a nuclear device was investigated on three types of Nevada terrain: (1) a flat dry-lake bed, (2) semirough terrain or land that has a known and controlled degree of roughness, and (3) typical wild desert. A modified Navy 5-ton six-wheel-drive truck was used as a mobile laboratory. A collimator and a scintillation crystal with a 512 channel analyzer were used to measure gamma-ray spectra at various polar angles. Dose-vs.-height measurements were also made up to a height of 40 ft. The project was undertaken to determine the importance of ground roughness as a factor in radiation shielding.

Penetration Into Concrete of Gamma Radiation from Fallout by W. F. Titus Pdf
The penetration into concrete of gamma radiation from fallout has been measured in an idealized geometry as a function of time after the detonation of a nuclear device. At the same time, the exposure dose rate in air at heights of 3 and 9 ft above the ground was measured with two detectors suspended from a tower and shielded from above with lead so as to be sensitive primarily to radiation from fallout on the ground. For this test a 'sandwich' made of seven concrete slabs, forming a mass of concrete with face dimensions large enough to reduce edge effects to a negligible amount, was buried with its top surface flush with the ground. Remote-reading detectors were placed between the concrete slabs, thus permitting measurements of dose rate as a function of depth in concrete. The concrete mass and the tower were located in the center of a cleared and leveled area approximately 200 yd in diameter. Thus the gamma radiation at the detectors originated from an essentially infinite-plane source of radiation. Results are presented both as a function of time after detonation and of depth of penetration of the radiation into concrete. A comparison of the results with theoretical calculations is made.

The Medical Implications of Nuclear War by Fred Solomon,Robert Q. Marston,Lewis Thomas,Steering Committee for the Symposium on the Medical Implications of Nuclear War,Institute of Medicine Pdf
Written by world-renowned scientists, this volume portrays the possible direct and indirect devastation of human health from a nuclear attack. The most comprehensive work yet produced on this subject, The Medical Implications of Nuclear War includes an overview of the potential environmental and physical effects of nuclear bombardment, describes the problems of choosing who among the injured would get the scarce medical care available, addresses the nuclear arms race from a psychosocial perspective, and reviews the medical needs--in contrast to the medical resources likely to be available--after a nuclear attack. "It should serve as the definitive statement on the consequences of nuclear war."--Arms Control Today
