About

Section II. NUCLEAR ACCIDENT HAZARDS 5. General a. A nuclear accident is an unexpected event involving- a nuclear weapon, utilization facility, or component of either, resulting in any of the following situations: (1) Loss of or serious damage to the weapon or component. (2) Nuclear or nonnuclear explosion of the weapon or facility. (3) Radioactive contamination. (4) Public hazard. b. Although nuclear weapons are designed to preclude a nuclear yield in the event of acci- dents, the high explosives and the radioactive fissionable material in themselves constitute a probable hazard. The precautions taken against these hazards are more than sufficient for the control of hazards from other components, such as explosive fuels. 6. Hazards a. High Explosives. All nuclear weapons contain conventional high explosives.
