How can E=mc^2 be used to calculate the radiation from a nuclear blast?

[nlink1979]

Hello everyone I am new to PF actually this is my first thread. I am looking for the equation to see how far and how, the radiation from the Nuclear Blast using E=mc^2. Can anybody help? Please[?]

Could you be more specific?

You can use e=Mcc2 to calculate the force, but that's it. You cannot use this formula to calculate distance, shockwave, etc. There are many other variables to account for.

Actually what they wanted was about fallout radii, a school presentation, apparently.

They needed to know the types of radiation, the longevity of the radio activity, (as per emitter/emmissions) and the need to pay attention to the direction of the winds

Hit the library. There's published material for all of this information.

Humm, library? Humm, isn't that a lot like the internet? a big library with actual human intern'actions...

(wanted a fast(er)/easier reply??)
