Show Buckaroos have 10 games, tourney Nuclear explosion releases great heat; fires caused ever did occur. Fire storms from the heat of a nuclear weapon could occur if we were ever attacked. Lack of water, the vastness of the fires, and lack of equipment would be very evident in a holocaust of this type. NUCLEAR EFFECTS Regardless of the type of w eapons nuclear exploded, there are four principal effects (1) heat, (2) blast, (3) immediate or initial nuclear radiation, and (4) residual radio-activ- e radiation from fallout. These occur in varying combinations, depending on nearness to the point of detonation. Only at very close range would one encounter all effects. Survival at this distance would require very good protection. In this particular article we are going to dwell strictly on the heat or thermal effects of a nuclear weapon. Actually the thermal effects consist of fires caused by direct ignition of combustible materials (the hazards of mass fires), skin burns on exposed portions of the body and temporary or permanent blindness from the intense light of the fireball. A great amount of energy is released within a fraction of a second after the explosion of a nuclear weapon. Approximately 50 per cent of this energy is consumed in the blast and shock, 35 per cent is given off as heat and 15 per cent is in the form or radiation. In regard to radiation, 50 per cent of the 15 per cent occurs in the flash itself, whereas only about 10 per cent of the 15 per cent is residual (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following ig one in a series of articles dealing with rural civil defense and answer some of the concerning the questions phenomena most likely to be encountered and protective measures possible. The information is made available through the Utah State university and is reprinted by The Record as a public service to rural families) A great deal has been written in the last few years nuclear weapons. Most of the information has been very good; however, as in all things new to us, many of the terms and conditions may sound very technical and complicated. The purpose of this series of articles is to attempt to simplify many of the technical terms and also to discuss what effect nuclear weapons would have on farmers as individuals, their families, their livestock, their land, and their capability to produce crops which are safe for human and animal consumption. The nuclear shots conducted by the Russians give us a good indication of the effects of atomic fallout. The radio-activfallout from these weapons has cover--emany thousands of square miles of the earths surface. This gives us a good indication that no one or no country is immune to the effects of nuclear warfare. We have also read and heard about the terrific fires not long ago in and around the city of Los Calif. This again Angeles, should give people some idea of the problems that mankind could face if nuclear warfare fire-fightin- g e in A radiation or fallout. The heat from this fireball is approximately equal to that of the sun. During hours of darkness, temporary or permanent blindness could be caused by the thermal radiation. This would occur if a person were looking in the general direction of the fireball at the precise moment of the detonation. The lens of the eye focuses heat as well as light rays on the retina of the eye. In addition to temporary or flash blindness, actual burns of the retina could occur from an undue amount of thermal radiation entering the eye. Neither flash blindness or retina damage constitutes a major hazard during daylight hours because of the restriction of the pupil of the eye which limits the amount of light intake. The duration or length that the intense light will last depends upon the size and design of the nuclear weapon exploded. A small weapon may produce a brilliant light for a short duration, whereas a larger weapon may have an intense light for a much longer duration. The length of time of brilliance in relation to time has been figured as Weapon size 20 kilotons 100 kilotons 1 Lgth of time of brilliance 3 seconds 7 seconds 24 seconds 67 seconds 95 seconds megaton 10 megatons 20 megatons Skin burns, if they occur, will do so in the first few seconds. It takes about 1 second for the thermal output from a 1 megaton burst to reach its peak intensity, and about 3 seconds for a 10 megaton s of the burst. energy is radiated within 6 seconds from a 1 megaton burst and within 17 seconds from a 10 megaton burst. Evasive action from the heat must be taken instantly if it is to be effective. However with weapons in the megaton range, the thermal radiation is emitted over a longer period of time so alert individuals who take evasive action within a few seconds will not suffer such severe burns. Getting exposed portions of your body behind some solid substance such as heavy clothing, wood, concrete, etc., would help shield you from the heat. Thermal burns on exposed cases skin, and in some through clothing, may be sustained by people who are exposed to thermal radiation. First degree burns, of which sunburn Is an example, cause only redness of the skin. Second degree burns are deeper, and blistering may result; third degree burns involve Injury to tissues below the skin. Second and third degree burns, which heal quite slowly may be incapacitating, depending on the location and the amount of body burned. trZ V 10 non-leag- and the one tournament faces Monticello High school cage crew during the neriod leading up to actual league play on Jan. 3.

This same holds true for the reflection of a large fraction of thermal radiation that occurs from a nuclear blast. There may be the possibility of the clothing starting on fire, however, if the person is too close to the blast. condiUnder atmospheric tions where the visibility is about 10 miles or more, the potentiality of many fires is considered to be a threat from the detonation of nuclear weapons in densely populated The type of many fires, which have been termed fire storms, would not be expected to start unless more than 20 per cent of the area is built up with flammable materials or is forest or dry grazing land. Widely spaced homes in suburban areas might not be in a firestorm area; however, these could catch fire if flammable materials such as paper, curtains, petroleum products etc., were close by. From a 10 megaton weapon, newspapers may ignite at 26 miles, dry rotted wood at 22 miles, fine dry grass and leaves at 20 to 21 miles, and wood at 8 miles. These isolated fires could burn down as the blast wave passes over them. However, they may burn themselves out or they may spread if there are quantities of burnable material close by. This is just another good reason why we should keep trash well picked up around our homes. Also it has been proven that a wooden or frame home has a higher kindling point than an unpainted frame or wooden home. Therefore, it would take more heat to kindle a home of this type. light-colore- d, In Utah, people have a taste for good living and 2! light-color- IN Anti-freez- START HAMS CAKE MIXES T A 10c 215c CUCUMBERS CRANBERRIES 25c a Specials Good Friday, Saturday & h.x kl 49c 35c 9 hpkosCh.C' .Tr.k;.y....... $10 $i0 $100 Monday Vi November 15, 16 & 18 We give Gold Strike Stamps in all departments Lb. ;ravE33m GcEGdjs7 meat pieshv .QW" tni 1 size YBeM0wC3-- 10c H; ArAla Certifresh, Mere BLANDING Gd- - 69c |
