Abstract This report summarizes the proceedings of a FEMA-sponsored Conference (organized and arranged by SRI International under subcontract to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) on fire and the related effects of nuclear explosions (with passing attention to earthquakes and other nonnuclear mishaps). Plenary lectures were interspersed with reviews of the active FEMA Work Units, fire research programs separately sponsored, and concurrent discussion sessions on five separate technical topics. A significant portion of the 1982 Conference was devoted to reviews of the fire research programs at the National Bureau of Standards Center for Fire Research and the recently reinitiated program of assessment of the fire effects of nuclear explosions funded by the Defense Nuclear Agency. This report contains the program summaries and minutes from the five technical-issue discussion groups.
