This VHS is not a numbered course lecture and appears to be supplementary material. It has the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFFRI) logo and the Medical Effects of Ionizing Radiation (MEIR) logo. Acting on the human body, the blast shock waves cause pressure waves through the tissues. These waves mostly damage junctions between tissues of different densities (bone and muscle) or the interface between tissue and air. Lungs and the abdominal cavity, which contain air, are particularly injured. The damage causes severe hemorrhaging or air embolisms, either of which can be rapidly fatal. The overpressure estimated to damage lungs is about 70 kPa. Some eardrums would probably rupture around 22 kPa (0.2 atm) and half would rupture between 90 and 130 kPa (0.9 to 1.2 atm). More

"Ten Seconds" was a factual and chronological account of the events preceding the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. Originally produced as a television special and motion picture in 1963. {may be only an excerpt]. A nuclear and radiation accident is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency as "an event that has led to significant consequences to people, the environment or the facility." The U.S. military has established a system for mission-specific risk-based dose limits that includes life-saving activities. Patients with medical or traumatic injury who also have whole-body or significant partial-body irradiation (combined injury) have a worse prognosis and will require a higher triage priority. More

This issue also includes the following regular features: Short Subjects, Among Our Guests, Photo Short, and 10 Years Ago. The front cover shows Carl Newton adjusting the "Skylid" roof in the central greenhouse of his White Rock home. Each metal panel has a black canister, facing the sky, and a light canister, facing inside. Freon flows through tubing from the black canister, when the sun's heat forces the liquid to the inside canister, where it condenses. The shift in weight causes the Skylids, which are mounted on ball-bearing pivots, to open. At night, the black canisters radiate much of their heat outward and cool down. the Freon medium shifts again and the Skylids close, preventing a great deal of heat loss. Adobe walls and window openings transfer the sun's stored heat to other living quarters throughout the evening. the photo is by Johnnie Martinez. The new printer was the Panorama Press of Albuquerque. From the 10 years ago section, in 1968 Regular gas at the Los Alamos service station was 27.9 cents a gallon. More

Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1965. American Edition. Presumed first printing thus. Hardcover. ix, [5], 265, [9] pages. Footnotes. DJ has some wear and soiling. Includes Preface to the American Edition, as well as chapters on Fifteen Years of Technological Revolution, 1945-60; The Strategic Theory Takes Shape; Europe and the McNamara Doctrine; The Independent French Deterent; The Future of the Atlantic Alliance; Logic and Paradoxes of the Strategic Theory; and Final Considerations. This book grew out of a course on the influence of nuclear weapons on international relations that Raymond Aron taught at the Institut d"etudes politiques in 1962-63. The book ends with a chapter on Final Considerations. In that final chapter the author tries to look ahead to four variables governing the future of the game of deterrence: The number of countries possessing atomic or thermonuclear weapons; The qualitative arms race, the possible political developments, involving either a realignment of nations, and the consistency or inconsistency of strategic doctrines. Originally written to explain the U.S. position to the French, the book is equally valuable for explaining it to Americans. Finally, and perhaps most vital ,Aron points out where Americans and Europeans have misinterpreted each other's views, and separates the unnecessary confusion from the real issues at stake for the Western allies.

Aldermaston: Atomic Weapons Establishment. single sheet of stationary. Approximately 8.25 inches by 11.75 inches. Creased down the middle (long side). with and AWE marked ballpoint pen. The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) is responsible for the design, manufacture and support of warheads for the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent. It is the successor to the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE) with its main site on the former RAF Aldermaston and has major facilities at Burghfield, Blacknest and RNAD Coulport. AWE plc, responsible for the day-to-day operations of AWE, is owned by a consortium of Jacobs Engineering Group, Lockheed Martin UK and Serco through AWE Management Ltd, which holds a 25-year contract (until March 2025) to operate AWE. All the sites are owned by the Government of the United Kingdom which has a golden share in AWE plc. The establishment is the final destination for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament's annual march from Trafalgar Square, London. The first Aldermaston March was conceived by the Direct Action Committee and took place in 1958. More
