Q

What is the effects of High altitude air burst?

A

100,00+ feet, ionosphere disruptions and EMP

17
Q

What is the effects of Air burst?

A

does not touch surface, vaccuum created, radiation fallout

18
Q

What is the effects of Surface burst?

A

fireball touches surface, worst fallout, massive radioactive fallout

19
Q

What is the effects of Shallow underwater burst?

A

small firebal and blast wave causes large waves and water contamination

20
Q

What is the effects of Deep underwater burst?

A

less visual effect and yields greater contaminated water

21
Q

What are the shipboard shielding stations?

A

Ready-shelter

Deep-shelter

22
Q

What is a ready-shelter?

A

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

23
Q

What is a deep-shelter?

A

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

24
Q

What is DT-60 dosimeter?

A

placed in a special radiac computer-indicator to determine the total amount of gamma radiation to which the wearer is exposed in the 0-600 roentgens.
