 | The manual describes the toxicology of poisonous agents as well as some components of rocket fuel and technical fluids, i.e., the physico-chemical properties of these substances, the biochemical mechanism of their action on the organism, the clinical aspects, and treatment of casualties. It also describes the military properties and the injurious action of nuclear weapons, means of defense, dosimetry, detection of toxic agents, deactivation and degassing and other problems ... |

|
| The report emphasizes the dangers to eventual reconstruction that are posed by the disorganization inevitably following a nuclear war. What can go wrong in this reorganization period is examined by the use of scenarios and analogy. It is then suggested that during the crisis period preceding a nuclear war a number of useful actions enhancing the chance of postattack recovery should be undertaken as part of an emergency mobilization for ... |

Leonard J. Bickley; Jane-Ring F. Crane; Edward S. Pearsall; INSTITUTE FOR DEFENSE ANALYSES ALEXANDRIA VA PROGRAM ANALYSIS DIV
|
| This study estimates the potential performance of the US economy following two separate enemy attacks postulated to occur in June 1975-- a counterforce attack and one partially targeted on population. These estimates were generated as solutions to a linear programming problem. Maximization of total value added within a set of upper and lower bounds on final deliveries was taken as the objective function. The constraints include a set of input-output ... |

|
| The report examines the impact of a nuclear attack on selected occupational groups within the Census classifications and compares the impact of the attack on those groups with the changes in the Census classifications and concludes that the compositional impact for specific occupations may be greater than and different from the changes in the Census classifications of which such occupations are a part. In addition, the report examines the impact ... |

| THE STRATEGIC CONSEQUENCES OF NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION, |
JUN 1966 |

|
| The strategic position that the United States and the Soviet Union currently enjoy is so unassailable that even continuing action by third parties is unlikely to upset the central strategic balance for the next twenty years. Properly exploited, this central strategic balance could continue to provide some stability in regional conflicts--even in the face of nuclear spread. |
