Q

The deliberate use of radiological weapons to produce widespread injury and death of all life?

A

Radiological warfare

18
Q

Occurs at altitudes in excess of 100,000 feet, with ionosphere disruptions and EMP?

A

High altitude air burst

19
Q

The vacuum created collects debris caused by the severe blast damage resulting in radiation fallout?

A

Air burst where the fireball does not reach the surface

20
Q

Similar to the shallow underwater burst but with less visual effect and yields greater contaminated water?

A

Deep underwater burst

21
Q

Has the WORST fallout due to fireball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout?

A

Surface burst

22
Q

Has a small fireball and blast wave however, it causes large waves and water contamination?

A

Shallow underwater burst

23
Q

Shipboard shielding stations are categorized as?

Q

Stations made just inside the weather envelope, with access to deep shelter?

A

Ready-shelter stations

25
Q

Are low in the ship and near the centerline?

A

Deep-shelter stations

26
Q

Provide maximum shielding from nuclear radiation, often requiring personnel to be far removed from battle stations?

A

Deep-shelter stations

27
Q

Provide minimum shielding from nuclear radiation and allow crew to remain close to battle stations?

A

Ready-shelter stations

28
Q
