The armor on most up-armored HMMWVs holds up well against lateral attacks, when the blast is distributed in all different directions, but offers little protection from a mine blast below the truck, such as buried improvised explosive devices ( IEDs ) and land mines.

Both of Watt's basic engine types were commercially very successful, and by 1800, the firm Boulton & Watt had constructed 496 engines, with 164 driving reciprocating pumps, 24 serving blast furnaces, and 308 powering mill machinery ; most of the engines generated from 5 to.

* Used in blast furnaces, limestone extracts iron from its ore.

When motorcycles were invented, some riders took to wearing heavy leather jackets to protect from road rash and wind blast ; some also wear chaps or full leather pants to protect the lower body.

The damage came from three main effects: blast, fire, and radiation.

Most knowledge about nuclear weapon urban blast destruction originates from studies of Little Boy at Hiroshima.

Data from the explosion at Nagasaki offers less insight, since hilly terrain deflected the blast and generated a more complicated pattern of destruction.

It falls to earth downwind of the crater and can produce, with radiation alone, a lethal area much larger than that from blast and fire.

Most of the deaths resulted from the collapse of the building, rather than the bomb blast itself.

At the end of the first day of rescue efforts, 153 had been treated at St. Anthony Hospital, eight blocks from the blast, over 70 at Presbyterian, 41 at University, and 18 at Children's.

After a nuclear blast, one bureaucrat suggested in those halcyon days, about all you had to do was haul out the broom and sweep off your sidewalks and roof.

Once " stand off " nuclear weapon designs were developed, bombers did not need to pass over the target at high altitude to make an attack ; they could fire and turn away to escape the blast.

Blast doors are designed to absorb the shock wave of a nuclear blast, bending and then returning to their original shape.

Unfortunately, the atmospheric nuclear blast creates an electrical storm, which revives Godzilla once more.

Estimates of the energy of the blast range from 5 to as high as 30 megatons of TNT ( 21 – 130 PJ ), with the most likely — roughly equal to the United States ' Castle Bravo thermonuclear bomb tested on March 1, 1954 ; about 1, 000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan ; and about one-third the power of the Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated.

McCoy, realizing what has happened, flees the truck and finds an abandoned bunker, barely escaping the oncoming nuclear blast.

ABC, Hume and Papazian realized that for the scene depicting the nuclear blast, they would have to use state-of-the-art special effects and they took the first step by hiring some of the best special effects people in the business to draw up some storyboards for the complicated blast scene.

It should also be noted that according to the movie the only thing S. H. I. E. L. D knew capable of penetrating vibranium was a nuclear blast or vibranium itself.

Therefore for an ER weapon to incapacitate a modern tank crew through irradiation, the weapon must now be detonated at such a close proximity to the tank that the nuclear explosion's blast would now be equally effective at incapacitating it and its crew.

If the reactor and the ballistic missiles explode while the K-19 is surfaced, the resulting nuclear blast will destroy not only the K-19 but also the nearby US navy ship and, most likely, the NATO base as well.

Radiation ( including radiated heat ) from a nuclear warhead diminishes as the square of the distance ( called the inverse-square law ), and blast pressure diminishes as the cube of the distance.

Fallout ( also fall-out ) is the residual radioactive material propelled into the upper atmosphere following a nuclear blast or a nuclear reaction conducted in an unshielded facility, so called because it " falls out " of the sky after the explosion and shock wave have passed.

This radioactive dust, consisting of material either directly vaporized by a nuclear blast or charged by exposure, is a highly dangerous kind of radioactive contamination.

Whereas a nuclear weapon will usually create mass casualties immediately following the blast, a dirty bomb scenario would initially cause only minimal casualties from the conventional explosion.

Although initial witness reports stated that the resultant fireball was equivalent to the Hiroshima nuclear explosion, scientific analysis places the force of the blast at anywhere from 100-500 tonnes TNT equivalent – around 3 % of Hiroshima's yield.

Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb was originally designed to have a yield of about, but the yield was reduced to 50 megatons to reduce nuclear fallout ( and also to prevent the blast from destroying the drop aircraft ).

Even small nuclear devices can devastate a city by blast, fire and radiation.

Air Force One landed at Offutt shortly before 3: 00 p. m. At 3: 06, Bush passed through security to the US Strategic Command Underground Command Center () and was taken into an underground bunker designed to withstand a nuclear blast.

Prior to Argus, Hardtack Teak had shown disruption of radio communications from a nuclear blast.

In the 1960s on the same site a nuclear-blast-proof underground bunker was constructed as a monitoring post, one of over 1500 constructed in the UK, for use in measuring direction, strength of blast and fallout in the event of the UK coming under nuclear attack.
