The app demonstrates the physical and biological effect of a nuclear detonation as a function of range. The project was pursued for historic interest.

Equations:
1.Fireball radius for airbursts, contact bursts and surface bursts
2.Scaled burst altitude
3.Scaled burst distance
4.Peak overpressure at selected range for surface and optimum height burst
5.Reflected overpressure at selected range
6.Peak dynamic pressure at selected range for surface and optimum height burst.
7.Over pressure radius for selected yield.
8.Thermal injury radius
9.Blast radius
10.Ionizing radiation radius
11.Height of burst maximum for local fallout
12.Crater dimensions
13.Blast efficiency
14.Wind velocity for surface and optimum height burst.
