In order to provide for possible protection against nuclear weapons, it is necessary to estimate the presumable effects of the explosion on its environment. For this purpose, the source terms from the burst have to be investigated. This requires a physical model of the dynamics of the exploding system during the nuclear excursion phase, but no information about weapon design and construction. Based on such a model, computer calculations have been performed for a typical example. A quantitative… Expand
