Effects of nuclear explosions
The energy released from a
nuclear weapon
detonated in the
troposphere
can be divided into four basic categories:
Blast
—40–50% of total energy
Thermal radiation
—30–50% of total energy
Ionizing radiation
—5% of total energy (more in a
neutron bomb
)
Residual radiation
—5–10% of total energy with the mass of the explosion
