断箭:核弹头事故的辐射危害(迈诺特USAF基地核武器事件)

Broken Arrows: Radiological hazards from nuclear warhead accidents (the Minot USAF base nuclear weapons incident)

Theodore Liolios

摘要:

根据许多新闻报道,2007年在迈诺特美国空军基地,六枚AGM-129先进巡航导弹错误地装上了W80-1热核弹头,被装在一架B-52 H重型轰炸机上,以代替六枚未装备武器的AGM-129导弹,等待运往巴克斯代尔美国空军基地进行处置。没有报告说这些核导弹真的失踪了,它们在安装到飞机上的36个小时里没有受到保护,无人看守。目前的工作是调查与假设的最坏情况事故有关的放射性危害,这种事故将使六枚弹头的核材料散落在大都市。使用计算机模拟得出事故后随之而来的癌症死亡率和土地污染的近似估计。还在线性风险模型框架内估计了卫生、净化和疏散费用。

英文摘要:

According to numerous press reports, in 2007 at Minot US Air Force Base six AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles mistakenly armed with W80-1 thermonuclear warheads were loaded on a B-52H heavy bomber in place of six unarmed AGM-129 missiles that were awaiting transport to Barksdale US Air Force Base for disposal. The live nuclear missiles were not reported missing, and stood unsecured and unguarded while mounted to the aircraft for a period of 36 hours. The present work investigates the radiological hazards associated with a worst-case postulated accident that would disperse the nuclear material of the six warheads in large metropolitan cities. Using computer simulations approximate estimates are derived for the ensuing cancer mortality and land contamination after the accident. Health, decontamination and evacuation costs are also estimated in the framework of the linear risk model.
