Abstract: Troops exposed to thermal radiation from nuclear weapons have the possibility of taking evasive action to protect them from burns. A method for predicting the effectiveness of troops attempting such evasion is presented here and it is shown that there is much to be gained by instant evasive action, particularly for the larger yield weapons.
