Hi
can anyone point me at accurate numbers for the pressure wave produced by a nuke blast of up to 50 megaton at a set distance from ground zero please ( say 0.6 miles )
I want to specify a pressure rating to an engineer who we will use to design our below ground shelter.
yes i did spend hours googling but i get the figure used in Sweden of 3 bar ( 45 PSI ) and i get a local business selling blast valves rated to 7 bar ( 105 PSI ) .
What is the correct number to use if you want to correctly rate the design pressure of the structure , blast door and blast valves used ?
thanks
