The Effects of Nuclear War

May 1979

NTIS order #PB-296946



The study examines the full range of effects that nuclear war would have on 

civilians: direct effects from blast and radiation; and indirect effects 

from economic, social, and politicai disruption. Particular attention is 

devoted to the ways in which the impact of a nuclear war would extend over 

time. Two of the study’s principal findings are that conditions would 

continue to get worse for some time after a nuclear war ended, and that the 

effects of nuclear war that cannot be calculated in advance are at least as 

important as those which analysts attempt to quantify.



Of particular interest is one scenario that are evaluated:
