Restoration of Runways Following Attack

Jerald E. Hill, J. J. O'Sullivan, Marc Peter, Jr.

ResearchPublished 1956

This short paper seeks to determine suitable planning criteria for the restoration of runways obstructed directly or indirectly by an attack with weapons of 0.5-, 1-, 2-, and 10-megaton yield ground burst. Runway obstructions are mainly the result of cratering effects, but residual radioactivity would hinder necessary repairs.
