UNIT 6LESSON 9 OVERVIEW Recognize how weapon yield and burst type affect radiological fallout (RADFO). Diagram the zones of most hazardous fallout using the information contained in the Basic Wind Data Message. Diagram the zones of most hazardous fallout using the information contained in the Effective Downwind Message. Compute effective downwind directions and speeds using standard-pressure-level winds. OUTLINE Nuclear burst Basic Wind Data Message Computation of effective fallout winds using standard-pressure-level windsThe Radiological FallOut (RADFO) from a nuclear weapon can affect a widespread area around a blast site. If you are ever involved in an operation where the use of nuclear weapons is considered, the operational commander will need to know the potentially hazardous areas due to RADFO. This information is used in making decisions regarding evasive action, evacuation, radiological countermeasures, and so forth.Learning Objective: Recognize how weapon yield and burst type affect RADFO. |
