The study involves the continued development of computer codes to predict the initiation and spread of fire in urban areas following a nuclear attack. Specifically, provisions were made in the computer codes to reflect recent improvements in the state of knowledge in regard to firebrands, effects of blast on ignitions caused by fireball, and shielding of interior building fuels from exposure to the fireball by trees, bushes and awnings. Also allowances were made in the codes for buildings that contain room fires as well as for evaluating the consequences of removing window coverings or room items from exposure to the fireball. Detailed discussions of all the changes are included as well as an overall discussion of major features of the codes. Input/output data are described for each of the codes. (Author)
