Abstract
In Chaps. 4 and 5 the nuclear blast standard and the high explosive or TNT blast standard were described. Each of these standards provides a full description of a free field blast wave in a sea level constant atmosphere. All blast parameters are given (or calculable from the provided parameters) as a function of range at a given time.
