Definition A nuclear weapon is an explosive mass destruction weapon based on the use of intranuclear energy released during chain reactions of fission of heavy nuclei of some uranium and plutonium isotopes or during thermonuclear fusion reactions of light nuclei of hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) into heavier nuclei, for example, isotope nuclei helium.




Among modern means of armed struggle, nuclear weapons occupy a special place - they are the main means of defeating the enemy. Nuclear weapons make it possible to destroy the means of mass destruction of the enemy, inflict heavy losses on him in manpower and military equipment in a short time, destroy structures and other objects, contaminate the area with radioactive substances, and also exert a strong moral and psychological impact on the available personnel and thereby create a side, using nuclear weapons, favorable conditions for achieving victory in the war.




Sometimes, depending on the type of charge, narrower concepts are used, for example: atomic weapons (devices that use fission chain reactions), thermonuclear weapons. Features of the destructive effect of a nuclear explosion in relation to personnel and military equipment depend not only on the power of the ammunition and the type of explosion, but also on the type of nuclear charger.


Devices designed to carry out the explosive process of releasing intranuclear energy are called nuclear charges. The power of nuclear weapons is usually characterized by the equivalent of TNT, i.e. so much TNT in tons, the explosion of which releases the same amount of energy as the explosion of a given nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapons are conditionally divided by power into: ultra-small (up to 1 kt), small (1-10 kt), medium (kt), large (100 kt - 1 Mt), extra-large (over 1 Mt).


Types of nuclear explosions and their damaging factors Depending on the tasks solved with the use of nuclear weapons, nuclear explosions can be carried out: in the air, on the surface of the earth and water, underground and water. In accordance with this, explosions are distinguished: air, ground (surface), underground (underwater).




This is an explosion produced at a height of up to 10 km, when the luminous area does not touch the ground (water). Air explosions are divided into low and high. Strong radioactive contamination of the area is formed only near the epicenters of low air explosions. Infection of the area along the trail of the cloud does not have a significant impact on the actions of personnel.


The main damaging factors of an air nuclear explosion are: an air shock wave, penetrating radiation, light radiation, and an electromagnetic pulse. During an air nuclear explosion, the soil swells in the area of ​​​​the epicenter. Radioactive contamination of the terrain, which affects the combat operations of troops, is formed only from low air nuclear explosions. In areas of application of neutron munitions, induced activity is formed in the soil, equipment and structures, which can cause damage (irradiation) to personnel.


An air nuclear explosion begins with a short blinding flash, the light from which can be observed at a distance of several tens and hundreds of kilometers. Following the flash, a luminous area appears in the form of a sphere or hemisphere (with a ground explosion), which is a source of powerful light radiation. At the same time, a powerful flux of gamma radiation and neutrons propagates from the explosion zone into the environment, which are formed during a nuclear chain reaction and during the decay of radioactive fragments of nuclear charge fission. Gamma rays and neutrons emitted in a nuclear explosion are called penetrating radiation. Under the action of instantaneous gamma radiation, the atoms of the environment are ionized, which leads to the appearance of electric and magnetic fields. These fields, due to their short duration of action, are commonly called the electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear explosion.


At the center of a nuclear explosion, the temperature instantly rises to several million degrees, as a result of which the substance of the charge turns into a high-temperature plasma that emits X-rays. The pressure of gaseous products initially reaches several billion atmospheres. The sphere of incandescent gases of the luminous area, seeking to expand, compresses the adjacent layers of air, creates a sharp pressure drop at the boundary of the compressed layer and forms a shock wave that propagates from the center of the explosion in various directions. Since the density of the gases that make up the fireball is much lower than the density of the surrounding air, the ball rises rapidly. In this case, a mushroom-shaped cloud is formed, containing gases, water vapor, small particles of soil and a huge amount of radioactive explosion products. Upon reaching the maximum height, the cloud is transported over long distances under the influence of air currents, dissipates, and radioactive products fall to the earth's surface, creating radioactive contamination of the area and objects.


Ground (surface) nuclear explosion This is an explosion produced on the surface of the earth (water), in which the luminous area touches the surface of the earth (water), and the dust (water) column from the moment of formation is connected to the explosion cloud. A characteristic feature of a ground (surface) nuclear explosion is a strong radioactive contamination of the terrain (water) both in the area of ​​​​the explosion and in the direction of the explosion cloud.







Ground-based (surface) nuclear explosion During ground-based nuclear explosions, an explosion funnel and strong radioactive contamination of the area are formed on the surface of the earth both in the area of ​​the explosion and in the wake of the radioactive cloud. During ground and low air nuclear explosions, seismic explosive waves arise in the ground, which can disable buried structures.






Underground (underwater) nuclear explosion This is an explosion produced underground (under water) and characterized by the release of a large amount of soil (water) mixed with nuclear explosive products (fragments of uranium-235 or plutonium-239 fission). The damaging and destructive effect of an underground nuclear explosion is determined mainly by seismic explosive waves (the main damaging factor), the formation of a funnel in the ground, and strong radioactive contamination of the area. Light emission and penetrating radiation are absent. Characteristic of an underwater explosion is the formation of a sultan (column of water), the basic wave formed during the collapse of the sultan (column of water).


Underground (underwater) nuclear explosion The main damaging factors of an underground explosion are: seismic explosive waves in the ground, air shock wave, radioactive contamination of the terrain and atmosphere. Seismic blast waves are the main damaging factor in a comflet explosion.


Surface nuclear explosion A surface nuclear explosion is an explosion carried out on the surface of the water (contact) or at such a height from it, when the luminous area of ​​the explosion touches the surface of the water. The main damaging factors of a surface explosion are: air shock wave, underwater shock wave, light radiation, penetrating radiation, electromagnetic pulse, radioactive contamination of the water area and coastal zone.






The main damaging factors of an underwater explosion are: an underwater shock wave (tsunami), an air shock wave, radioactive contamination of the water area, coastal areas and coastal facilities. During underwater nuclear explosions, the ejected soil can block the riverbed and cause flooding of large areas.


High-altitude nuclear explosion A high-altitude nuclear explosion is an explosion produced above the boundary of the Earth's troposphere (above 10 km). The main damaging factors of high-altitude explosions are: air shock wave (at an altitude of up to 30 km), penetrating radiation, light radiation (at an altitude of up to 60 km), X-ray radiation, gas flow (exploding products of an explosion), electromagnetic pulse, atmospheric ionization (at an altitude of over 60 km).








Space nuclear explosion Space explosions differ from stratospheric ones not only in the values ​​of the characteristics of the accompanying physical processes, but also in the physical processes themselves. The damaging factors of cosmic nuclear explosions are: penetrating radiation; x-ray radiation; ionization of the atmosphere, due to which a luminescent glow of the air occurs, lasting for hours; gas flow; electromagnetic impulse; weak radioactive contamination of the air.




The damaging factors of a nuclear explosion The main damaging factors and the distribution of the share of the energy of a nuclear explosion: shock wave - 35%; light radiation - 35%; penetrating radiation - 5%; radioactive contamination -6%. electromagnetic pulse -1% Simultaneous exposure to several damaging factors leads to combined damage to personnel. Armament, equipment and fortifications fail mainly from the impact of the shock wave.


Shock wave A shock wave (SW) is a region of sharply compressed air propagating in all directions from the center of an explosion at supersonic speed. Hot vapors and gases, seeking to expand, produce a sharp blow to the surrounding layers of air, compress them to high pressures and densities, and heat them to high temperatures (several tens of thousands of degrees). This layer of compressed air represents the shock wave. The front boundary of the compressed air layer is called the front of the shock wave. The SW front is followed by an area of ​​rarefaction, where the pressure is below atmospheric. Near the center of the explosion, the velocity of SW propagation is several times higher than the speed of sound. As the distance from the explosion increases, the wave propagation speed decreases rapidly. At large distances, its speed approaches the speed of sound in air.




Shock wave The shock wave of a medium-sized ammunition passes: the first kilometer in 1.4 s; the second in 4 s; fifth in 12 s. The damaging effect of hydrocarbons on people, equipment, buildings and structures is characterized by: velocity pressure; overpressure in the shock front and the time of its impact on the object (compression phase).


Shock wave The impact of SW on people can be direct and indirect. With direct exposure, the cause of injury is an instantaneous increase in air pressure, which is perceived as a sharp blow leading to fractures, damage to internal organs, and rupture of blood vessels. With indirect impact, people are amazed by flying debris of buildings and structures, stones, trees, broken glass and other objects. Indirect impact reaches 80% of all lesions.


Shock wave With an excess pressure of kPa (0.2-0.4 kgf / cm 2), unprotected people can get light injuries (light bruises and concussions). The impact of SW with excessive pressure kPa leads to lesions of moderate severity: loss of consciousness, damage to the hearing organs, severe dislocations of the limbs, damage to internal organs. Extremely severe lesions, often fatal, are observed at excess pressure over 100 kPa.


Shock wave The degree of damage by a shock wave to various objects depends on the power and type of explosion, mechanical strength (stability of the object), as well as on the distance at which the explosion occurred, the terrain and the position of objects on the ground. To protect against the impact of hydrocarbons, one should use: trenches, cracks and trenches, which reduce its effect by 1.5-2 times; dugouts 2-3 times; asylum 3-5 times; basements of houses (buildings); terrain (forest, ravines, hollows, etc.).


Light radiation Light radiation is a stream of radiant energy, including ultraviolet, visible and infrared rays. Its source is a luminous area formed by hot explosion products and hot air. Light radiation propagates almost instantly and lasts, depending on the power of a nuclear explosion, up to 20 s. However, its strength is such that, despite its short duration, it can cause skin (skin) burns, damage (permanent or temporary) to the organs of vision of people, and ignition of combustible materials of objects. At the moment of formation of a luminous region, the temperature on its surface reaches tens of thousands of degrees. The main damaging factor of light radiation is a light pulse.


Light emission A light impulse is the amount of energy in calories falling per unit area of ​​the surface perpendicular to the direction of radiation, for the entire duration of the glow. The weakening of light radiation is possible due to its shielding by atmospheric clouds, uneven terrain, vegetation and local objects, snowfall or smoke. Thus, a thick layer attenuates the light pulse by A-9 times, a rare one by 2-4 times, and smoke (aerosol) screens by 10 times.


Light radiation To protect the population from light radiation, it is necessary to use protective structures, basements of houses and buildings, and the protective properties of the terrain. Any obstruction capable of creating a shadow protects against the direct action of light radiation and eliminates burns.


Penetrating radiation Penetrating radiation is a stream of gamma rays and neutrons emitted from the zone of a nuclear explosion. The time of its action is s, the range is 2-3 km from the center of the explosion. In conventional nuclear explosions, neutrons make up approximately 30%, in the explosion of neutron ammunition, % of the Y-radiation. The damaging effect of penetrating radiation is based on the ionization of cells (molecules) of a living organism, leading to death. Neutrons, in addition, interact with the nuclei of atoms of certain materials and can cause induced activity in metals and technology.


Penetrating radiation Y radiation photon radiation (with photon energy J) arising from a change in the energy state of atomic nuclei, nuclear transformations or particle annihilation.


Penetrating Radiation Gamma radiation is photons, i.e. electromagnetic wave that carries energy. In the air, it can travel long distances, gradually losing energy as a result of collisions with the atoms of the medium. Intense gamma radiation, if not protected from it, can damage not only the skin, but also internal tissues. Dense and heavy materials such as iron and lead are excellent barriers to gamma radiation.


Penetrating radiation The main parameter that characterizes penetrating radiation is: for γ-radiation, the dose and dose rate of radiation, for neutrons, the flux and flux density. Permissible exposure doses for the population in wartime: single dose within 4 days 50 R; multiple during the day 100 R; during the quarter 200 R; during the year 300 R.


Penetrating radiation As a result of the passage of radiation through the materials of the environment, the intensity of the radiation decreases. The weakening effect is usually characterized by a layer of half attenuation, i.e. with. such a thickness of the material, passing through which the radiation is reduced by 2 times. For example, the intensity of y-rays is reduced by a factor of 2: steel 2.8 cm thick, concrete 10 cm, soil 14 cm, wood 30 cm. Protective structures of GO are used as protection against penetrating radiation, which weaken its impact from 200 to 5000 times . A pound layer of 1.5 m protects almost completely from penetrating radiation. GO


Radioactive contamination (contamination) Radioactive contamination of the air, terrain, water area and objects located on them occurs as a result of the fallout of radioactive substances (RS) from the cloud of a nuclear explosion. At a temperature of approximately 1700 ° C, the glow of the luminous region of a nuclear explosion stops and it turns into a dark cloud, to which a dust column rises (therefore, the cloud has a mushroom shape). This cloud moves in the direction of the wind, and RVs fall out of it.


Radioactive contamination (contamination) The sources of radioactive substances in the cloud are the fission products of nuclear fuel (uranium, plutonium), the unreacted part of the nuclear fuel and radioactive isotopes formed as a result of the action of neutrons on the ground (induced activity). These RVs, being on contaminated objects, decay, emitting ionizing radiation, which in fact are the damaging factor. The parameters of radioactive contamination are: exposure dose (according to the impact on people), radiation dose rate, radiation level (according to the degree of contamination of the area and various objects). These parameters are a quantitative characteristic of damaging factors: radioactive contamination during an accident with the release of radioactive substances, as well as radioactive contamination and penetrating radiation during a nuclear explosion.




Radioactive contamination (contamination) Radiation levels at the outer boundaries of these zones 1 hour after the explosion are 8, 80, 240, 800 rad/h, respectively. Most of the radioactive fallout that causes radioactive contamination of the area falls out of the cloud an hour after a nuclear explosion.


Electromagnetic pulse Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a combination of electric and magnetic fields resulting from the ionization of the atoms of the medium under the influence of gamma radiation. Its duration is a few milliseconds. The main parameters of EMR are currents and voltages induced in wires and cable lines, which can lead to damage and disable electronic equipment, and sometimes to damage to people working with the equipment.


Electromagnetic pulse During ground and air explosions, the damaging effect of an electromagnetic pulse is observed at a distance of several kilometers from the center of a nuclear explosion. The most effective protection against an electromagnetic pulse is the shielding of power supply and control lines, as well as radio and electrical equipment.


The situation that develops during the use of nuclear weapons in the centers of destruction. The focus of nuclear destruction is the territory within which, as a result of the use of nuclear weapons, mass destruction and death of people, farm animals and plants, destruction and damage to buildings and structures, utility and energy and technological networks and lines, transport communications and other objects occurred.




Zone of complete destruction The zone of complete destruction has an overpressure at the front of the shock wave of 50 kPa at the border and is characterized by: massive irretrievable losses among the unprotected population (up to 100%), complete destruction of buildings and structures, destruction and damage to utility and energy and technological networks and lines, as well as parts of civil defense shelters, the formation of solid blockages in settlements. The forest is completely destroyed.


Zone of severe destruction The zone of severe destruction with excess pressure at the front of the shock wave from 30 to 50 kPa is characterized by: massive irretrievable losses (up to 90%) among the unprotected population, complete and severe destruction of buildings and structures, damage to utilities, energy and technological networks and lines, the formation of local and continuous blockages in settlements and forests, the preservation of shelters and the majority of anti-radiation shelters of the basement type.


Medium damage zone Medium damage zone with overpressure from 20 to 30 kPa. It is characterized by: irretrievable losses among the population (up to 20%), medium and severe destruction of buildings and structures, the formation of local and focal blockages, continuous fires, the preservation of utility networks, shelters and most of the anti-radiation shelters.


Zone of weak destruction The zone of weak destruction with excess pressure from 10 to 20 kPa is characterized by weak and medium destruction of buildings and structures. The focus of the lesion but the number of dead and injured can be commensurate with or exceed the lesion in an earthquake. So, during the bombing (bomb power up to 20 kt) of the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, most of it (60%) was destroyed, and the death toll amounted to people.


Exposure to ionizing radiation The personnel of economic facilities and the population that enter the zones of radioactive contamination are exposed to ionizing radiation, which causes radiation sickness. The severity of the disease depends on the dose of radiation (irradiation) received. The dependence of the degree of radiation sickness on the magnitude of the radiation dose is shown in the table on the next slide.


Exposure to ionizing radiation Degree of radiation sickness Radiation dose that causes disease, rad people animals Light (I) Medium (II) Severe (III) Extremely severe (IV) More than 600 More than 750 Dependence of the degree of radiation sickness on the magnitude of the radiation dose


Exposure to ionizing radiation In the conditions of hostilities with the use of nuclear weapons, vast territories can be in zones of radioactive contamination, and exposure of people to mass. In order to exclude overexposure of the personnel of facilities and the population in such conditions and to increase the stability of the functioning of objects of the national economy under conditions of radioactive contamination in wartime, permissible exposure doses are established. They are: with a single irradiation (up to 4 days) 50 rad; repeated irradiation: a) up to 30 days 100 rad; b) 90 days 200 rad; systematic exposure (during the year) 300 rad.


Exposure to ionizing radiation Rad (rad, abbreviated from the English radiation absorbed dose), non-systemic unit of absorbed radiation dose; it is applicable to any type of ionizing radiation and corresponds to a radiation energy of 100 erg absorbed by an irradiated substance weighing 1 g. dose 1 rad = 2.388×10 6 cal/g = 0.01 j/kg.


Exposure to ionizing radiation SIEVERT (sievert) is a unit of equivalent dose of radiation in the SI system, equal to the equivalent dose if the dose of absorbed ionizing radiation, multiplied by a conditional dimensionless factor, is 1 J/kg. Since different types of radiation cause different effects on biological tissue, a weighted absorbed dose of radiation, also called the equivalent dose, is used; it is obtained by modifying the absorbed dose by multiplying it by the conventional dimensionless factor adopted by the International Commission on X-Ray Protection. At present, the sievert is increasingly replacing the physical equivalent of the roentgen (FER), which is becoming obsolete.

Light radiation To protect the population from light radiation, it is necessary to use protective structures, basements of houses and buildings, and the protective properties of the terrain. Any obstruction capable of creating a shadow protects against the direct action of light radiation and eliminates burns.

Description of the slide:

Penetrating radiation Penetrating radiation is a stream of gamma rays and neutrons emitted from the zone of a nuclear explosion. The time of its action is 10-15 s, the range is 2-3 km from the center of the explosion. In conventional nuclear explosions, neutrons make up approximately 30%, in the explosion of neutron ammunition - 70-80% of the Y-radiation. The damaging effect of penetrating radiation is based on the ionization of cells (molecules) of a living organism, leading to death. Neutrons, in addition, interact with the nuclei of atoms of certain materials and can cause induced activity in metals and technology.

Description of the slide:

Penetrating Radiation Gamma rays are photons, i.e. electromagnetic wave that carries energy. In the air, it can travel long distances, gradually losing energy as a result of collisions with the atoms of the medium. Intense gamma radiation, if not protected from it, can damage not only the skin, but also internal tissues. Dense and heavy materials such as iron and lead are excellent barriers to gamma radiation.

Description of the slide:

Penetrating radiation As a result of the passage of radiation through the materials of the environment, the intensity of the radiation decreases. The weakening effect is usually characterized by a layer of half attenuation, i.e. with. such a thickness of the material, passing through which the radiation is reduced by 2 times. For example, the intensity of y-rays is reduced by 2 times: steel 2.8 cm thick, concrete - 10 cm, soil - 14 cm, wood - 30 cm. up to 5000 times. A pound layer of 1.5 m protects almost completely from penetrating radiation.

Description of the slide:

Radioactive contamination (contamination) Radioactive contamination of the air, terrain, water area and objects located on them occurs as a result of the fallout of radioactive substances (RS) from the cloud of a nuclear explosion. At a temperature of approximately 1700 ° C, the glow of the luminous region of a nuclear explosion stops and it turns into a dark cloud, to which a dust column rises (therefore, the cloud has a mushroom shape). This cloud moves in the direction of the wind, and RVs fall out of it.

slide number 49

Description of the slide:

Radioactive contamination (contamination) The sources of radioactive substances in the cloud are the fission products of nuclear fuel (uranium, plutonium), the unreacted part of the nuclear fuel and radioactive isotopes formed as a result of the action of neutrons on the ground (induced activity). These RVs, being on contaminated objects, decay, emitting ionizing radiation, which in fact are the damaging factor. The parameters of radioactive contamination are: radiation dose (according to the impact on people), radiation dose rate - radiation level (according to the degree of contamination of the area and various objects). These parameters are a quantitative characteristic of damaging factors: radioactive contamination during an accident with the release of radioactive substances, as well as radioactive contamination and penetrating radiation during a nuclear explosion.

Description of the slide:

Electromagnetic pulse During ground and air explosions, the damaging effect of an electromagnetic pulse is observed at a distance of several kilometers from the center of a nuclear explosion. The most effective protection against an electromagnetic pulse is the shielding of power supply and control lines, as well as radio and electrical equipment.

Description of the slide:

The situation that develops during the use of nuclear weapons in the centers of destruction. The focus of nuclear destruction is the territory within which, as a result of the use of nuclear weapons, mass destruction and death of people, farm animals and plants, destruction and damage to buildings and structures, utility and energy and technological networks and lines, transport communications and other objects occurred.

Zone of complete destruction The zone of complete destruction has an overpressure at the front of the shock wave of 50 kPa at the border and is characterized by: massive irretrievable losses among the unprotected population (up to 100%), complete destruction of buildings and structures, destruction and damage to utility-energy and technological networks and lines, as well as parts of civil defense shelters, the formation of solid blockages in settlements. The forest is completely destroyed.

Description of the slide:

Medium damage zone Medium damage zone with overpressure from 20 to 30 kPa. It is characterized by: irretrievable losses among the population (up to 20%), medium and severe destruction of buildings and structures, the formation of local and focal blockages, continuous fires, the preservation of utility networks, shelters and most of the anti-radiation shelters.

slide number 59

Description of the slide:

Zone of weak destruction The zone of weak destruction with excess pressure from 10 to 20 kPa is characterized by weak and medium destruction of buildings and structures. The focus of the lesion but the number of dead and injured can be commensurate with or exceed the lesion in an earthquake. So, during the bombing (bomb power up to 20 kt) of the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, most of it (60%) was destroyed, and the death toll amounted to 140,000 people.

Description of the slide:

Exposure to ionizing radiation Under the conditions of hostilities with the use of nuclear weapons, vast territories can be in the zones of radioactive contamination, and exposure of people can become widespread. In order to exclude overexposure of the personnel of facilities and the population in such conditions and to increase the stability of the functioning of objects of the national economy under conditions of radioactive contamination in wartime, permissible exposure doses are established. They are: with a single irradiation (up to 4 days) - 50 rad; repeated irradiation: a) up to 30 days - 100 rad; b) 90 days - 200 rad; systematic exposure (during the year) 300 rad.

Description of the slide:

Exposure to ionizing radiation SIEVERT (sievert) is a unit of equivalent dose of radiation in the SI system, equal to the equivalent dose if the dose of absorbed ionizing radiation, multiplied by a conditional dimensionless factor, is 1 J/kg. Since different types of radiation cause different effects on biological tissue, a weighted absorbed dose of radiation, also called the equivalent dose, is used; it is obtained by modifying the absorbed dose by multiplying it by the conventional dimensionless factor adopted by the International Commission on X-Ray Protection. At present, the sievert is increasingly replacing the physical equivalent of the roentgen (FER), which is becoming obsolete.

Definition

A nuclear weapon is a weapon of mass destruction of explosive action, based on the use of intranuclear energy released during chain reactions of fission of heavy nuclei of some isotopes of uranium and plutonium or during thermonuclear reactions of fusion of light nuclei of hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) into heavier ones, for example, nuclei of helium isotopes .

slide 3

A nuclear explosion is accompanied by the release of a huge amount of energy, therefore, in terms of destructive and damaging effect, it can exceed the explosions of the largest ammunition filled with conventional explosives by hundreds and thousands of times.

slide 4

Among modern means of armed struggle, nuclear weapons occupy a special place - they are the main means of defeating the enemy. Nuclear weapons make it possible to destroy the means of mass destruction of the enemy, inflict heavy losses on him in manpower and military equipment in a short time, destroy structures and other objects, contaminate the area with radioactive substances, and also exert a strong moral and psychological impact on the available personnel and thereby create a side, using nuclear weapons, favorable conditions for achieving victory in the war.

slide 5

slide 6

Sometimes, depending on the type of charge, narrower concepts are used, for example: atomic weapons (devices that use fission chain reactions), thermonuclear weapons. Features of the destructive effect of a nuclear explosion in relation to personnel and military equipment depend not only on the power of the ammunition and the type of explosion, but also on the type of nuclear charger.

Slide 7

Devices designed to carry out the explosive process of releasing intranuclear energy are called nuclear charges. The power of nuclear weapons is usually characterized by the equivalent of TNT, i.e. so much TNT in tons, the explosion of which releases the same amount of energy as the explosion of a given nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapons are conditionally divided by power into: ultra-small (up to 1 kt), small (1-10 kt), medium (10-100 kt), large (100 kt - 1 Mt), extra-large (over 1 Mt).

Slide 8

Types of nuclear explosions and their damaging factors

Depending on the tasks solved with the use of nuclear weapons, nuclear explosions can be carried out: in the air, on the surface of the earth and water, underground and water. In accordance with this, explosions are distinguished: air, ground (surface), underground (underwater).

Slide 9

Air nuclear explosion

  • Slide 10

    An air nuclear explosion is an explosion produced at an altitude of up to 10 km, when the luminous area does not touch the ground (water). Air explosions are divided into low and high. Strong radioactive contamination of the area is formed only near the epicenters of low air explosions. Infection of the area along the trail of the cloud does not have a significant impact on the actions of personnel.

    slide 11

    The main damaging factors of an air nuclear explosion are: an air shock wave, penetrating radiation, light radiation, and an electromagnetic pulse. During an air nuclear explosion, the soil swells in the area of ​​​​the epicenter. Radioactive contamination of the terrain, which affects the combat operations of troops, is formed only from low air nuclear explosions. In areas of application of neutron munitions, induced activity is formed in the soil, equipment and structures, which can cause damage (irradiation) to personnel.

    slide 12

    An air nuclear explosion begins with a short blinding flash, the light from which can be observed at a distance of several tens and hundreds of kilometers. Following the flash, a luminous area appears in the form of a sphere or hemisphere (with a ground explosion), which is a source of powerful light radiation. At the same time, a powerful flux of gamma radiation and neutrons propagates from the explosion zone into the environment, which are formed during a nuclear chain reaction and during the decay of radioactive fragments of nuclear charge fission. Gamma rays and neutrons emitted in a nuclear explosion are called penetrating radiation. Under the action of instantaneous gamma radiation, the atoms of the environment are ionized, which leads to the appearance of electric and magnetic fields. These fields, due to their short duration of action, are commonly called the electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear explosion.

    slide 13

    At the center of a nuclear explosion, the temperature instantly rises to several million degrees, as a result of which the substance of the charge turns into a high-temperature plasma that emits X-rays. The pressure of gaseous products initially reaches several billion atmospheres. The sphere of incandescent gases of the luminous area, seeking to expand, compresses the adjacent layers of air, creates a sharp pressure drop at the boundary of the compressed layer and forms a shock wave that propagates from the center of the explosion in various directions. Since the density of the gases that make up the fireball is much lower than the density of the surrounding air, the ball rises rapidly. In this case, a mushroom-shaped cloud is formed, containing gases, water vapor, small particles of soil and a huge amount of radioactive explosion products. Upon reaching the maximum height, the cloud is transported over long distances under the influence of air currents, dissipates, and radioactive products fall to the earth's surface, creating radioactive contamination of the area and objects.

    Slide 14

    Ground (surface) nuclear explosion

    This is an explosion produced on the surface of the earth (water), in which the luminous area touches the surface of the earth (water), and the dust (water) column from the moment of formation is connected to the explosion cloud. A characteristic feature of a ground (surface) nuclear explosion is a strong radioactive contamination of the terrain (water) both in the area of ​​​​the explosion and in the direction of the explosion cloud.

    slide 15

    slide 16

    Slide 17

    The damaging factors of this explosion are: air shock wave, light radiation, penetrating radiation, electromagnetic impulse, radioactive contamination of the area, seismic explosive waves in the ground.

    Slide 18

    During ground-based nuclear explosions, an explosion crater and a strong radioactive contamination of the area are formed on the surface of the earth both in the area of ​​​​the explosion and in the wake of the radioactive cloud. During ground and low air nuclear explosions, seismic explosive waves arise in the ground, which can disable buried structures.

    Slide 19

    Underground (underwater) nuclear explosion

    Underground nuclear explosion with soil ejection

    Slide 20

    Underground nuclear explosion

    slide 21

    This is an explosion produced underground (under water) and characterized by the release of a large amount of soil (water) mixed with nuclear explosive products (fragments of uranium-235 or plutonium-239 fission). The damaging and destructive effect of an underground nuclear explosion is determined mainly by seismic explosive waves (the main damaging factor), the formation of a funnel in the ground and strong radioactive contamination of the area. Light emission and penetrating radiation are absent. Characteristic of an underwater explosion is the formation of a sultan (column of water), the basic wave formed during the collapse of the sultan (column of water).

    slide 22

    The main damaging factors of an underground explosion are: seismic explosive waves in the ground, air shock wave, radioactive contamination of the terrain and atmosphere. Seismic blast waves are the main damaging factor in a comflet explosion.

    slide 23

    Surface nuclear explosion

    A surface nuclear explosion is an explosion carried out on the surface of the water (contact) or at such a height from it when the luminous area of ​​the explosion touches the surface of the water. The main damaging factors of a surface explosion are: air shock wave, underwater shock wave, light radiation, penetrating radiation, electromagnetic pulse, radioactive contamination of the water area and coastal zone.

    slide 24

    Underwater nuclear explosion

    An underwater nuclear explosion is an explosion produced in water at a certain depth.

    Slide 25

    slide 26

    The main damaging factors of an underwater explosion are: an underwater shock wave (tsunami), an air shock wave, radioactive contamination of the water area, coastal areas and coastal facilities. During underwater nuclear explosions, the ejected soil can block the riverbed and cause flooding of large areas.

    Slide 27

    high altitude nuclear explosion

    A high-altitude nuclear explosion is an explosion produced above the boundary of the Earth's troposphere (above 10 km). The main damaging factors of high-altitude explosions are: air shock wave (at an altitude of up to 30 km), penetrating radiation, light radiation (at an altitude of up to 60 km), X-ray radiation, gas flow (exploding products of an explosion), electromagnetic pulse, atmospheric ionization (at an altitude of over 60 km).

    Slide 28

    Stratospheric nuclear explosion

    High-altitude nuclear explosions are subdivided into: stratospheric - explosions at altitudes from 10 to 80 km, space - explosions at altitudes of more than 80 km.

    Slide 29

    slide 30

    The damaging factors of stratospheric explosions are: x-ray radiation, penetrating radiation, air shock wave, light radiation, gas flow, ionization of the environment, electromagnetic pulse, radioactive contamination of the air.

    Slide 31

    space nuclear explosion

    Space explosions differ from stratospheric ones not only in the values ​​of the characteristics of the accompanying physical processes, but also in the physical processes themselves. The damaging factors of cosmic nuclear explosions are: penetrating radiation; x-ray radiation; ionization of the atmosphere, due to which a luminescent glow of the air occurs, lasting for hours; gas flow; electromagnetic impulse; weak radioactive contamination of the air.

    slide 32

    Slide 33

    Damaging factors of a nuclear explosion

    The main damaging factors and the distribution of the share of the energy of a nuclear explosion: shock wave - 35%; light radiation - 35%; penetrating radiation - 5%; radioactive contamination -6%. electromagnetic pulse -1% Simultaneous exposure to several damaging factors leads to combined damage to personnel. Armament, equipment and fortifications fail mainly from the impact of the shock wave.

    slide 34

    shock wave

    A shock wave (SW) is a region of sharply compressed air propagating in all directions from the center of the explosion at supersonic speed. Hot vapors and gases, seeking to expand, produce a sharp blow to the surrounding layers of air, compress them to high pressures and densities, and heat them to high temperatures (several tens of thousands of degrees). This layer of compressed air represents the shock wave. The front boundary of the compressed air layer is called the front of the shock wave. The SW front is followed by an area of ​​rarefaction, where the pressure is below atmospheric. Near the center of the explosion, the velocity of SW propagation is several times higher than the speed of sound. As the distance from the explosion increases, the wave propagation speed decreases rapidly. At large distances, its speed approaches the speed of sound in air.

    Slide 35

    slide 36

    The shock wave of an ammunition of medium power passes: the first kilometer in 1.4 s; the second - in 4 s; fifth - in 12 s. The damaging effect of hydrocarbons on people, equipment, buildings and structures is characterized by: velocity pressure; overpressure in the shock front and the time of its impact on the object (compression phase).

    Slide 37

    The impact of HC on people can be direct and indirect. With direct exposure, the cause of injury is an instantaneous increase in air pressure, which is perceived as a sharp blow leading to fractures, damage to internal organs, and rupture of blood vessels. With indirect impact, people are amazed by flying debris of buildings and structures, stones, trees, broken glass and other objects. Indirect impact reaches 80% of all lesions.

    Slide 38

    With an overpressure of 20-40 kPa (0.2-0.4 kgf / cm2), unprotected people can get light injuries (light bruises and concussions). The impact of SW with an overpressure of 40-60 kPa leads to lesions of moderate severity: loss of consciousness, damage to the hearing organs, severe dislocations of the limbs, and damage to internal organs. Extremely severe lesions, often fatal, are observed at excess pressure over 100 kPa.

    Slide 39

    The degree of shock wave damage to various objects depends on the power and type of explosion, the mechanical strength (stability of the object), as well as on the distance at which the explosion occurred, the terrain and the position of objects on the ground. To protect against the impact of hydrocarbons, one should use: trenches, cracks and trenches, which reduce its effect by 1.5-2 times; dugouts - 2-3 times; shelters - 3-5 times; basements of houses (buildings); terrain (forest, ravines, hollows, etc.).

    Slide 40

    light emission

    Light radiation is a stream of radiant energy, including ultraviolet, visible and infrared rays. Its source is a luminous area formed by hot explosion products and hot air. Light radiation propagates almost instantly and lasts, depending on the power of a nuclear explosion, up to 20 s. However, its strength is such that, despite its short duration, it can cause skin (skin) burns, damage (permanent or temporary) to the organs of vision of people, and ignition of combustible materials of objects. At the moment of formation of a luminous region, the temperature on its surface reaches tens of thousands of degrees. The main damaging factor of light radiation is a light pulse.

    Slide 41

    Light pulse - the amount of energy in calories falling per unit area of ​​the surface perpendicular to the direction of radiation, for the entire duration of the glow. The weakening of light radiation is possible due to its shielding by atmospheric clouds, uneven terrain, vegetation and local objects, snowfall or smoke. So, a thick layer attenuates the light pulse by A-9 times, a rare one - by 2-4 times, and smoke (aerosol) screens - by 10 times.

    Slide 42

    To protect the population from light radiation, it is necessary to use protective structures, basements of houses and buildings, and the protective properties of the terrain. Any obstruction capable of creating a shadow protects against the direct action of light radiation and eliminates burns.

    slide 43

    penetrating radiation

    Penetrating radiation - a stream of gamma rays and neutrons emitted from the zone of a nuclear explosion. The time of its action is 10-15 s, the range is 2-3 km from the center of the explosion. In conventional nuclear explosions, neutrons make up approximately 30%, in the explosion of neutron ammunition - 70-80% of the Y-radiation. The damaging effect of penetrating radiation is based on the ionization of cells (molecules) of a living organism, leading to death. Neutrons, in addition, interact with the nuclei of atoms of certain materials and can cause induced activity in metals and technology.

    Slide 44

    Y radiation - photon radiation (with a photon energy of 1015-1012 J) that occurs when the energy state of atomic nuclei changes, nuclear transformations or particle annihilation.

    Slide 45

    Gamma radiation is photons, i.e. electromagnetic wave that carries energy. In the air, it can travel long distances, gradually losing energy as a result of collisions with the atoms of the medium. Intense gamma radiation, if not protected from it, can damage not only the skin, but also internal tissues. Dense and heavy materials such as iron and lead are excellent barriers to gamma radiation.

    Slide 46

    The main parameter characterizing penetrating radiation is: for y-radiation - the dose and dose rate of radiation, for neutrons - the flux and flux density. Permissible exposure doses to the population in wartime: single - within 4 days 50 R; multiple - within 10-30 days 100 R; during the quarter - 200 R; during the year - 300 R.

    Slide 47

    As a result of the passage of radiation through the materials of the environment, the intensity of the radiation decreases. The weakening effect is usually characterized by a layer of half attenuation, i.e. with. such a thickness of the material, passing through which the radiation is reduced by 2 times. For example, the intensity of y-rays is reduced by 2 times: steel 2.8 cm thick, concrete - 10 cm, soil - 14 cm, wood - 30 cm. up to 5000 times. A pound layer of 1.5 m protects almost completely from penetrating radiation.

    Slide 48

    Radioactive contamination (contamination)

    Radioactive contamination of the air, terrain, water area and objects located on them occurs as a result of the fallout of radioactive substances (RS) from the cloud of a nuclear explosion. At a temperature of approximately 1700 ° C, the glow of the luminous region of a nuclear explosion stops and it turns into a dark cloud, to which a dust column rises (therefore, the cloud has a mushroom shape). This cloud moves in the direction of the wind, and RVs fall out of it.

    Slide 49

    The sources of RS in the cloud are the fission products of nuclear fuel (uranium, plutonium), the unreacted part of the nuclear fuel and radioactive isotopes formed as a result of the action of neutrons on the ground (induced activity). These RVs, being on contaminated objects, decay, emitting ionizing radiation, which in fact are the damaging factor. The parameters of radioactive contamination are: radiation dose (according to the impact on people), radiation dose rate - radiation level (according to the degree of contamination of the area and various objects). These parameters are a quantitative characteristic of damaging factors: radioactive contamination during an accident with the release of radioactive substances, as well as radioactive contamination and penetrating radiation during a nuclear explosion.

    Slide 50

    Scheme of radioactive contamination of the area in the area of ​​a nuclear explosion and in the wake of the movement of the cloud

    Slide 51

    Radiation levels at the outer boundaries of these zones 1 hour after the explosion are 8, 80, 240, 800 rad/h, respectively. Most of the radioactive fallout, causing radioactive contamination of the area, falls out of the cloud 10-20 hours after a nuclear explosion.

    Slide 52

    electromagnetic pulse

    An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a combination of electric and magnetic fields resulting from the ionization of the atoms of the medium under the influence of gamma radiation. Its duration is a few milliseconds. The main parameters of EMR are currents and voltages induced in wires and cable lines, which can lead to damage and disable electronic equipment, and sometimes to damage to people working with the equipment.

    Slide 53

    During ground and air explosions, the damaging effect of an electromagnetic pulse is observed at a distance of several kilometers from the center of a nuclear explosion. The most effective protection against an electromagnetic pulse is the shielding of power supply and control lines, as well as radio and electrical equipment.

    Slide 54

    The situation that develops during the use of nuclear weapons in the centers of destruction.

    The focus of nuclear destruction is the territory within which, as a result of the use of nuclear weapons, mass destruction and death of people, farm animals and plants, destruction and damage to buildings and structures, utility and energy and technological networks and lines, transport communications and other objects occurred.

    Slide 55

    Zones of the focus of a nuclear explosion

    To determine the nature of possible destruction, the volume and conditions for carrying out rescue and other urgent work, the nuclear lesion site is conditionally divided into four zones: complete, strong, medium, weak destruction.

    Slide 56

    Zone of complete destruction

    The zone of complete destruction has an overpressure at the front of the shock wave of 50 kPa at the border and is characterized by: massive irretrievable losses among the unprotected population (up to 100%), complete destruction of buildings and structures, destruction and damage to utility and energy and technological networks and lines, as well as parts shelters of civil defense, the formation of solid blockages in settlements. The forest is completely destroyed.

    Slide 57

    Zone of severe destruction

    The zone of severe destruction with excess pressure at the shock wave front from 30 to 50 kPa is characterized by: massive irretrievable losses (up to 90%) among the unprotected population, complete and severe destruction of buildings and structures, damage to public utilities and technological networks and lines, the formation of local and solid blockages in settlements and forests, the preservation of shelters and most anti-radiation shelters of the basement type.

    Slide 58

    Medium damage zone

    Zone of medium destruction with overpressure from 20 to 30 kPa. It is characterized by: irretrievable losses among the population (up to 20%), medium and severe destruction of buildings and structures, the formation of local and focal blockages, continuous fires, the preservation of utility networks, shelters and most of the anti-radiation shelters.

    Slide 59

    Zone of weak damage

    The zone of weak destruction with excess pressure from 10 to 20 kPa is characterized by weak and medium destruction of buildings and structures. The focus of the lesion but the number of dead and injured can be commensurate with or exceed the lesion in an earthquake. So, during the bombing (bomb power up to 20 kt) of the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, most of it (60%) was destroyed, and the death toll amounted to 140,000 people.

    Slide 60

    Exposure to ionizing radiation

    The personnel of economic facilities and the population entering the zones of radioactive contamination are exposed to ionizing radiation, which causes radiation sickness. The severity of the disease depends on the dose of radiation (irradiation) received. The dependence of the degree of radiation sickness on the magnitude of the radiation dose is shown in the table on the next slide.

    Slide 61

    Dependence of the degree of radiation sickness on the magnitude of the radiation dose

    Slide 62

    Under the conditions of hostilities with the use of nuclear weapons, vast territories may turn out to be in the zones of radioactive contamination, and exposure of people may take on a mass character. In order to exclude overexposure of the personnel of facilities and the population in such conditions and to increase the stability of the functioning of objects of the national economy under conditions of radioactive contamination in wartime, permissible exposure doses are established. They are: with a single irradiation (up to 4 days) - 50 rad; repeated irradiation: a) up to 30 days - 100 rad; b) 90 days - 200 rad; systematic exposure (during the year) 300 rad.

    Slide 63

    Rad (rad, abbreviated from English radiationabsorbeddose - absorbed dose of radiation), off-system unit of absorbed dose of radiation; it is applicable to any kind of ionizing radiation and corresponds to a radiation energy of 100 erg absorbed by an irradiated substance weighing 1 g. 1 rad = 2.388×10-6 cal/g = 0.01 j/kg.

    Slide 64

    SIEVERT (sievert) - a unit of equivalent dose of radiation in the SI system, equal to the equivalent dose if the dose of absorbed ionizing radiation, multiplied by a conditional dimensionless factor, is 1 J / kg. Since different types of radiation cause different effects on biological tissue, a weighted absorbed dose of radiation, also called the equivalent dose, is used; it is obtained by modifying the absorbed dose by multiplying it by the conventional dimensionless factor adopted by the International Commission on X-Ray Protection. At present, the sievert is increasingly replacing the physical equivalent of the roentgen (FER), which is becoming obsolete.

    Slide 65

    Radioactivity: alpha, beta, gamma radiation

    The word "radiation" comes from the Latin radius and means a beam. In principle, radiation is all types of radiation existing in nature - radio waves, visible light, ultraviolet, and so on.

    The history of the creation and development of nuclear weapons This conclusion was the impetus for the development of nuclear weapons. In 1896, the French physicist A. Becquerel discovered the phenomenon of radioactive radiation. It marked the beginning of the era of the study and use of nuclear energy. 1905 Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. A very small amount of matter is equivalent to a large amount of energy. 1938, as a result of experiments by German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, they manage to break a uranium atom into two approximately equal parts by bombarding uranium with neutrons. British physicist Otto Robert Frisch explained how energy is released when the nucleus of an atom divides. In early 1939, the French physicist Joliot-Curie concluded that a chain reaction was possible that would lead to an explosion of monstrous destructive power and that uranium could become an energy source, like an ordinary explosive.

    Description of the slide:

    On July 16, 1945, the world's first atomic bomb test, called Trinity, was carried out in New Mexico. On the morning of August 6, 1945, an American B-29 bomber dropped the Little Boy uranium atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The power of the explosion was, according to various estimates, from 13 to 18 kilotons of TNT. On August 9, 1945, the Fat Man plutonium atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. Its power was much greater and amounted to 15-22 kt. This is due to the more advanced design of the bomb. The successful test of the first Soviet atomic bomb was carried out at 7:00 on August 29, 1949 at the constructed test site in the Semipalatinsk region of the Kazakh SSR. The test of the bombs showed that the new weapon was ready for combat use. The creation of this weapon marked the beginning of a new stage in the use of wars and military art.

    Description of the slide:

    A shock wave is an area of ​​sharp compression of air, propagating in all directions from the center of the explosion at supersonic speed. The shock wave is the main damaging factor in a nuclear explosion and about 50% of its energy is spent on its formation. The front boundary of the compressed air layer is called the front of the air shock wave. And it is characterized by the magnitude of excess pressure. As you know, overpressure is the difference between the maximum pressure in the front of an air wave and the normal atmospheric pressure in front of it. Overpressure is measured in Pascals (Pa).

    Description of the slide:

    Light radiation is a stream of radiant energy, including visible, ultraviolet and infrared rays. Its source is a luminous area formed by hot products of the explosion and hot air up to millions of degrees. Light radiation spreads almost instantly and, depending on the power of the nuclear explosion, the time of the fireball lasts 20-30 seconds. The light radiation of a nuclear explosion is very strong, it causes burns and temporary blindness. Depending on the severity of the lesion, burns are divided into four degrees: the first is redness, swelling and soreness of the skin; the second is the formation of bubbles; the third - necrosis of the skin and tissues; the fourth is charring of the skin.

    Description of the slide:

    Penetrating radiation (ionizing radiation) is a stream of gamma rays and neutrons. It lasts for 10-15 seconds. Passing through living tissue, it causes its rapid destruction and death of a person from acute radiation sickness in the very near future after the explosion. In order to assess the effect of various types of ionizing radiation on a person (animal), two of their main characteristics must be taken into account: ionizing and penetrating abilities. Alpha radiation has a high ionizing but weak penetrating power. So, for example, even ordinary clothes protect a person from this type of radiation. However, getting alpha particles into the body with air, water and food is already very dangerous. Beta radiation is less ionizing than alpha radiation, but more penetrating. Here, for protection, you need to use any shelter. And finally, gamma and neutron radiation have a very high penetrating power. Alpha radiation is helium-4 nuclei and can be easily stopped with a sheet of paper. Beta radiation is a stream of electrons that an aluminum plate is enough to protect against. Gamma radiation has the ability to penetrate even denser materials.

    Description of the slide:

    The damaging effect of penetrating radiation is characterized by the magnitude of the radiation dose, i.e., the amount of radioactive radiation energy absorbed by a unit mass of the irradiated medium. Distinguish: the exposure dose is measured in roentgens (R). characterizes the potential danger of exposure to ionizing radiation with a general and uniform exposure of the human body; the absorbed dose is measured in rads (rad). determines the effect of ionizing radiation on biological tissues of the body, having different atomic composition and density Depending on the dose of radiation, four degrees of radiation sickness are distinguished: total dose of radiation, rad degree of radiation sickness latent period duration 100-250 1 - mild 2-3 weeks (curable) 250-400 2 - average week (with active treatment, recovery after 1.5-2 months) 400-700 3 - severe for several hours (with a favorable outcome - recovery after 6-8 months) More than 700 4 - extremely severe no (lethal dose )

    21 slide

    Description of the slide:

    Radioactive particles, falling from the cloud to the ground, form a zone of radioactive contamination, the so-called trace, which can extend for several hundred kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion. Radioactive contamination - contamination of the terrain, atmosphere, water and other objects with radioactive substances from the cloud of a nuclear explosion. Depending on the degree of infection and the danger of injuring people, the trace is divided into four zones: A - moderate (up to 400 rad.); B - strong (up to 1200 rad.); B - dangerous (up to 4000 rad.); G - extremely dangerous infection (up to 10,000 rad.).
