Re: References - Environmental Impact of Nuclear Weapons

[CAPOTTE@saix367.sandia.gov]

     There is a book called "Effects of Nuclear Weapons" which is a 
     government publication.  That, I think, covers most aspects of health, 
     damage, and environmental contamination.  I don't have the book here 
     so I don't have the author, etc.  Can anyone fill in the details?

Dear RadSafers:
     
I am searching for references to the effects of nuclear weapons on the 
environment.  I would like to know of any references to studies focusing on:
     
 - the effects on soils, water, air, fisheries, wildlife, human, social, and
cultural resources - short and long term effects.  
     
 - environmental lessons learned from the nuclear weapons test programs of the
U.S., Former Soviet Union and others.
     
 - short and long term environmental effects in/near Hiroshima and Nagasaki
     
We are building a database of references to environmental impact of nuclear 
weapons.  I am searching for references and where I might find them.  Any 
publications you can point me toward will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in 
advance for your help.
