Albuquerque, NM: Sandia Corporation, 1960. Reprint from the Defense Technical Information Center, circa 2007. Stapled twice on left side, Wraps. 76, [1] pages. Illustrations. Tables. Mailing label on back cover. The Sandia report is dated 1960 and the Civil Effects Test Group report is dated 1961. The Contents include chapters on: Introduction, Test Results, Discussion, and Conclusions. A 6- by- 6 by 20-ft structure located at a distance of 2000 ft from Ground Zero (GZ) was subjected to a precursors wave from the Priscilla shot, a 37-kt shot detonated at an altitude of 700 ft. The wave struck a 6- by 20-ft face of the structure with a peak incident overpressures of between 24 and 26 psi. Free-field measurements of overpressure, dynamic pressure, and force were made at the same radial distance about 25 ft from the end of the structure. Local asymmetries in the blast wave gave different incident conditions for points separated on a fixed radius by only 35 ft. Dust concentrations and dust momentum flux were higher close to the ground than at the 10-ft-high gauge station located near the structure and contributed significantly to the blast loading on the front of the structure. This dust was accelerated through a high=velocity flow that feeds downward to the lower layers. The unusual oscillation seen in records of overpressures on the structure in earlier tests was again observed. A relation between the incident overpressures and the ration of the impulse on the structure to the incident impulse is suggested. Similar measurements were made on a 9 2/3- by ==11- by 17 ft structure located at a distance of 1150 ft from GZ, where the peak overpressure was 87 psi. More

Frank Charles Barnaby is Nuclear Issues Consultant to the Oxford Research Group, a freelance defence analyst, and a prolific author on military technology, based in the UK. Barnaby trained as a nuclear physicist and worked at the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, Aldermaston, between 1951 and 1957. He was on the senior scientific staff of the Medical Research Council (UK) when a university lecturer at University College London (1957–67). Barnaby was Director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) from 1971–81. In 1981, Barnaby became a founding member of the World Cultural Council. He was a Professor at the VU University Amsterdam 1981–85, and awarded the Harold Stassen Chair of International Relations at the University of Minnesota in 1985. Barnaby contends that future wars may be fought entirely by machines--with little or no direct human involvement. More

Createspace, 2013. Presumed first paperback edition/first printing. Trade paperback. 268 pages. Illustrations, black & white. Signed by author on page 'i'. From an on-line posting: " EMP is a fictional book that that brings to reality the life of the survivors living underground in the aftermath of an EMP and nuclear attack. Following an EMP attack upon the United States, a contingency plan kicks in to sequester some of the nation s top scientists and their families in the abandoned Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository at Jackass Flats, Nevada. A nuclear exchange that occurs later isolates this group of survivors in a highly technological environment inside the mountain to ensure their survival on a planet that in the timespan of one-second reentered the Stone Age. EMP is a work of fiction because to date the world has never experienced an EMP, electromagnetic pulse attack or a nuclear winter. However, it is just a matter of time before a group or nation of radicals will use such a dreadful device in a terrorist attack on a American city with the same effect as described in this book. More
