Question 518

All security managers must have a disaster plan to deal with nuclear attack and must be well informed regarding the disaster propensities of such an explosion. The effects of nuclear weapons differ from those of conventional weapons in all of the following ways except:

An experimental device exploded in the Aleutian Islands in November 1971 had an estimated yield of more than 5 megatons (MT), which means it released more energy than the explosion of 50 million tons of TNT.

A fairly large amount of the energy in a nuclear explosion is referred to as 'thermal radiation.'

'Thermal radiation' is capable of causing skin burns and of starting fires at considerable distances.

A nuclear detonation also produces an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) sometimes called 'radio flash.'

If a nuclear explosion occurs at or near the ground, great quantities of radioactive earth and other materials are drawn upward to high altitudes. When the radioactive particles fall back to earth, the phenomenon is known as 'fallout.'

Question 519

One of the greatest hazards that would result from a nuclear attack is radioactive fallout.

A security manager should be well informed concerning the full potential of damage associated with this type of disaster. Which of the following is an incorrect statement?

Gamma radiation most concerns civil preparedness planners as it cannot be detected by any of the human senses.

Gamma radiation is measured in units call roentgens.

In an all-out nuclear attack against U.S. military, industrial, and population centers, it is estimated that severe to moderate damage from the blasts and heat effects would occur in about 50 percent of the nation's area.

Gamma radiation can be detected only with special instruments.

It is estimated that millions of Americans could survive the radiation effects of a large- scale nuclear attack by seeking protection in fallout shelters.
