Physics Today, 1976
The “debate ”on civil defense by Arthur Broyles and Eugene Wigner versus Sidney Drell (April, page 45) ignored the major role that fire will play in any nuclear war, be it large or small. The tendency of the physicist to assign the most familiar effect the greatest importance was apparent in this article.

Communications for civil defense [PDF]
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Part I: Communication and Electronics, 1953 HERE IN America, we have never been subjected to the kind of devastating all-out home-front attack that was launched against so many cities and towns of Europe, Asia, and Africa during World War II. There are those who may ask, what is civil defense and why does it need communications? Let us consider first, what civil defense is.

Are proposals to control biological warfare merely "cosmetic adornment" to conceal the stalemate of disarmament talks? Joshua Lederberg, Stanford's distinguished geneticist, hopes not. The implements of biological warfare, he fears, have the potential to inflict a "virological Hiroshima."1 To mitigate, if possible, such a catastrophe, the Army's ...

Instrumentation in civil defense [PDF]
Electrical Engineering, 1951 Radiological hazards after an atomic bomb explosion vary according to whether it is an air burst, water burst, or ground burst. The Federal Civil Defense Administration has tentative specifications for different radiation-detection instruments. A warning is given to prospective instrument buyers regarding instruments they might buy for personal use in ...

Principal hazards of radioactivity produced by detonations of atomic weapons are I (half-life 11.5 days) and Sr (Half-life approximately 30 years). General protective measures that can be taken against radioactive fallout are shelter and decontamination, and the avoidance of ingestion or inhalation of contaminated mediums from the environment.

, 1998 Wigner’s interest in civil defense was influenced in part by his experiences growing up in Central Europe at the time he did. He was a teenager during most of World War I. He was a new Ph.D. working in Germany at the time of the economic crash in Germany in 1929 and saw first-hand the Nazi Party become a major political force in the Reichstag in the ...
