In order to anticipate the physical damage and personal injuries that would result from a nuclear attack, and thus to encourage emergency responders and public officials to prepare themselves, numerous federal agencies joined together in 1957 to release information about the energy released in a nuclear explosion. An updated report was completed in 1962. It was prepared by the Defense Atomic Support Agency of the Department of Defense in coordination with other cognizant government agencies and was published by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The conclusions reached herein represent the combined judgment of the most competent scientists working on the problem. The purpose of this book is to present as accurately as possible, within the limits of national security, a comprehensive summary. When "The Effects of Atomic Weapons" was published in 1950, the explosive energy yields of the fission bombs available at that time were equivalent to some thousands of tons (i.e., kilotons) of TNT. With the development of thermonuclear (fusion) weapons, having energy yields in the range of millions of tons (i.e., megatons) of TNT, a new presentation, entitled "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons," was issued in 1957. A completely revised edition was published in 1962. Samuel Glasstone (3 May 1897 ? 16 November 1986) was a British-born American academic and writer of scientific books. He authored over 40 popular textbooks on physical chemistry and electrochemistry, reaction rates, nuclear weapons effects, nuclear reactor engineering, Mars, space sciences, the environmental effects of nuclear energy and nuclear testing. Glasstone was born on 3 May 1897 in London. He received two doctorates, in 1922 and 1926 (Ph.D. and D.Sc.), in chemistry at London University. Glasstone discovered the C?H???O interaction in 1937. After several academic appointments in England, he moved to the US in 1939 and became a naturalized citizen in 1944. After numerous studies of physical chemistry, for example the discovery of the C?H???O interaction mentioned above, Glasstone worked with Henry Eyring and Keith Laidler on the theory of absolute reaction rates. He was an accomplished author and consultant to the AEC at the time. Former Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Chairman Glenn T. Seaborg wrote: "Over a period of 17 years he has produced for the AEC 12 classical nuclear texts or reference books, each a model in its field. His books . show what science writing at its best can be ? unfailingly correct, but also fluent, lucid, graceful and superbly organized." His book The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, has appeared in three editions: 1957,[5] 1962,[6] and 1977[7] (originally titled The Effects of Atomic Weapons[8]), and documented the effects of nuclear explosions. The 3rd edition was co-authored with Philip J. Dolan. Revised Edition. This pamphlet supersedes DA Pam 39-3, 1 May 1957.…
