|
 | Procedures under development by the Air Force Weapons Laboratory to simulate ground motions produced by high-yield nuclear explosions are reviewed. In particular, design information for the High Explosive Simulation Technique (HEST) is presented, and the efforts to develop a technique for simulating direct-induced ground motions (DIHEST) are summarized.

|
| The basic objective of the program is to study methods by which nuclear debris measurements can be made more extensive and interpretable through utilization of important new advances in high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. The program focussed on two principal areas: (1) a laboratory program to investigate, for selected weapons materials, the fission product gamma-ray spectra obtained under various conditions and (2) a study of the utility and feasibility of ... |

| Evaluation of Mk 7 Mod 2 Bomb Trailer for Use with Nuclear Weapons. |
24 OCT 1969 |
|
| Authors:
Charles R. Bowen; NAVAL WEAPONS EVALUATION FACILITY ALBUQUERQUE NM
|
| The Mk 7 Mod 2 Bomb Trailer was evaluated by the Naval Weapons Evaluation Facility (NWEF), Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87117. The evaluation was conducted to determine the suitability of the Mk 7 Mod 2 Bomb Trailer for the transport of nuclear weapons over various road surfaces at specified speeds and for the loading of nuclear weapons on Navy aircraft. Design and materiel deficiencies were discovered during ... |

| WEAPONS RADIATION SHIELDING HANDBOOK. CHAPTER 4. NEUTRON AND GAMMA-RAY ALBEDOS, |

|
| Air-filled openings through weapons radiation shields (for example, ducts, passageways, etc.) can increase the total amount of radiation penetrating the shield, primarily as a result of radiation successively scattering from the walls of the openings. Most techniques that have been developed for estimating the transmission of radiation through such openings depend on the use of albedos, an albedo being the fraction of radiation incident on a surface that is reflected ... |

| ANALYSIS OF HEAT TRANSFER IN A THREE-LAYER SLAB: CONSTANT FLUX ON ONE SURFACE AND ZERO FLUX ON THE OTHER SURFACE (U), |

|
| The one-dimensional time-dependent equation of heat conduction is solved for an infinite three-layer slab. The conventional Laplace transform technique is not employed, but rather the method of separation of variables is applied with a novel eigenfunction expansion of the initial temperature distribution. Boundary conditions considered are constant flux on one side of the slab and zero flux on the other. (Author) |

| A SYMPOSIUM ON NUCLEAR CHINA, TRENDS AND PROSPECTS. |
1966 |
|
| Authors:
NAVAL ORDNANCE TEST STATION CHINA LAKECA
|
| Representatives of government policy-making organizations concerned with Communist China met with interested and knowledgeable representatives of universities and research organizations 11-13 December 1964, at the University of California, San Diego. The purpose of this symposium were to exchange and integrate information, to define areas of agreement and disagreement, and, where possible, to draw meaningful conclusions and make recommendations therefrom. The main topics of discussion were (1) the nature of Communist ... |
