Abstract
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 civil defense.
