The Scattering of Thermal Radiation Into Open Underground Shelters (open access)

The Scattering of Thermal Radiation Into Open Underground Shelters

From Introduction: "The elimination of the burn hazard in shelters depends upon a separate, systematic investigation of each suspected agent. The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the contribution made by radiant energy and, if such contribution proved to be significant, to suggest means of eliminating this component."
