Handbook for Nuclear Weapons Effects under Arctic Conditions. Sanitized.

This report describes the changes to be expected in nuclear weapons effects in arctic conditions as compared with the temperature regions of the works. Previous research in this area has been reviewed and relevant information is presented. The emphasis was placed on low altitude and underwater burst...
