Effect of Nuclear Weapons The energy released from

a nuclear weapon comesin four major categories:

Blast 40-60% of totalenergy

Thermal radiation 30-50% of total energy

Ionizing radiation 5% of

total energy Residual radiation (fallout)

5-10% of total energy

Effect of Nuclear Weapons Although a nuclear

weapon is capable of

causing the same

destruction as usualexplosives through the

effects of blast and

thermal radiation, release

much larger amounts of

energy in a much shorterperiod of time.

Effect of Nuclear Weapons Most of the damage

caused by a nuclear

weapon is not directlyrelated to the nuclear

process of energy

release, and would be

present for any

explosion of the same

magnitude.

Foreign Policy President George W. Bushhas

singled out terrorist nuclearattacks on the United States asthe defining threat the nation willface in the foreseeable future. Inaddressing this specter, he hasasserted that Americans' "highestpriority is to keep terrorists fromacquiring weapons of massdestruction.

" So far, however, his words have

not been matched by deeds. TheBush administration has yet todevelop a strategy for combating

the threat of nuclear terror.
