Summary

Overpressure criteria for damage and injury from NUREG-1805 and from Barry, converted to kPa. Lung-damage criteria differ markedly between the sources. Based on Iqbal and Salley (2004), pp. 15-7, 15-8 and 15-12, and Barry (2002), p. 5-186.

Original illustration for TNT equivalence, level 4 Expert.

  • Source basis: Iqbal and Salley (2004), pp. 15-7, 15-8 (Table 15-1, after Clancey 1972) and p. 15-12 (Table 15-3, after Fischer et al. 1995); Barry (2002), p. 5-186 (Table 5-13.4)
  • Alt text: Chart of overpressure damage and injury thresholds from two sources on a logarithmic kilopascal axis, from glass breakage at 1 kPa to 99 % mortality at 350 kPa.
