Washington, DC: United States Department of the Army, Headquarters [Prepared by the United States Department of Defense and Published by the United States Atomic Energy Commission], 1962.

Glossary. Index. NO Calculator at the back--pocket removed. In order to anticipate the physical damage and personal injuries that would result from a nuclear attack, and thus to encourage emergency responders and public officials to prepare themselves, numerous federal agencies joined together in 1957 to release information about the energy released in a nuclear explosion. An updated report was completed in 1962. It was prepared by the Defense Atomic Support Agency of the Department of Defense in coordination with other cognizant government agencies and was published by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The conclusions reached herein represent the combined judgment of the most competent scientists working on the problem. The purpose of this book is to present as accurately as possible, within the limits of national security, a comprehensive summary. When "The Effects of Atomic Weapons" was published in 1950, the explosive energy yields of the fission bombs available at that time were equivalent to some thousands of tons (i.e., kilotons) of TNT. With the development of thermonuclear (fusion) weapons, having energy yields in the range of millions of tons (i.e., megatons) of TNT, a new presentation, entitled "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons," was issued in 1957. A completely revised edition was published in 1962. More

Samuel Glasstone (3 May 1897 – 16 November 1986) was a British-born American academic and writer of scientific books. He authored over 40 popular textbooks on physical chemistry and electrochemistry, reaction rates, nuclear weapons effects, nuclear reactor engineering, Mars, space sciences, the environmental effects of nuclear energy and nuclear testing. After numerous studies of physical chemistry, for example the discovery of the C–H···O interaction, Glasstone worked with Henry Eyring and Keith Laidler on the theory of absolute reaction rates. His book The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, co-authored with Philip J. Dolan, has appeared in three editions: 1957, 1962, and 1977 (originally titled The Effects of Atomic Weapons), and documented the effects of nuclear explosions. Professor Alexander Sesonske (1921-2013) Alexander Sesonske arrived at Purdue University from Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in September 1954 as an associate professor of Chemical Engineering. From 1954 to 1957 he brought nuclear engineering from an introductory course for chemical engineers to an interdisciplinary graduate program open to students from various engineering disciplines. In 1955, the first edition of Nuclear Reactor Engineering by Samuel Glasstone and Alexander Sesonke was published. Subsequent editions have long been the principle textbooks in reactor engineering.

Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1950. Revised Edition [stated]. Wraps. x, 456 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Charts. Appendices. Index. In 1948 the Weapons Effects Classification Board, a committee of military and civilian scientists serving as advisers to the Atomic Energy Commission recommended that a handbook on the effects of atomic weapons be prepared. This volume is the result. This presents a technical summary of the results to be expected from the detonation of atomic weapons (other than information that was kept secret at that time). Contributors supported the topics of Shock Waves and Blast Damage, Thermal Radiation and Incendiary Effects, Nuclear Radiation and Instrumentation, Effects on Personnel, Protection of Personnel, and miscellaneous material. Reviewers included Luis Alvarez, Hans Bethe, E. O. Lawrence and Edward Teller. Arnold Kramish was on the Board of Editors. More
