Question 13

Explain the five types of nuclear explosions

Answer 13

High altitude air burst: Occurs at altitudes in excess of 100,000 feet
2. Air burst: Fireball does not reach the surface.
3. Surface Burst: Worst fallout due to the fireball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout.
4. Shallow underwater burst: Small fireball and blast wave; however, it causes large waves and water
contamination.
5. Deep underwater burst: Similar to the shallow underwater burst but with less visual effect and yields greater
contaminated water.
