Blast damage to people

People can be injured by explosions from direct blast effects (including overpressure and thermal radiation) or indirect blast effects (mostly missile damage). 

Blast damage effects are estimated using probit analysis, discussed in section 2-6.

A reactor contains the equivalent of 10,000 lb of TNT. If it explodes, estimate the injury to people and the damage to structures 500 ft away. 

Injury to personnel is determined using probit equations from Table 2-5. The probit equation for deaths resulting from lung hemorrhage is
