In this article, which appeared in the June 1958 issue of the Soviet journal, Atomic Energy, Sakharov estimated that about 10,000 people would ultimately suffer cancers, genetic disorders, and other ill effects from the radioactivity produced by a I-megaton nuclear explosion in the atmosphere. According to this estimate, the 1961 Soviet test of a 58-megaton nuclear explosive-,an explosion that ...

The interplay between spectator and participant matter in heavy-ion collisions is investigated in the context of a microscopic transport model. Transport simulations show that flow patterns for the participant matter are strongly influenced by the presence of the nearby spectator matter. However, the influence is mutual. During the explosion of the participant zone, the spectator matter acquire...

In this study the influence of atmospheric conditions, release height and particle size are studied on radiological impact due to a hypothetical 15 KT nuclear explosion using HotSpot model. Simulations show that among different parameters, burst produces highest total effective dose (TED). It is found maximum TED about 4 orders higher for surface compared elevated explosions. The range acute do...

The aim of this study was to evaluate radiation situation at the “ Pirit ” peaceful underground nuclear explosion site . with capacity 37.6 kt оf TNT equivalent carried out on May 25, 1981 territory Kumzhinskoye gas condensate field a depth 1.5 km is located near northern coast European part Russia in delta Pechora River ( Nenets Autonomous District ). stop uncontrolled gushing Radiation assess...
