analysis: The text appears to be discussing the effects of a nuclear weapon explosion on a city and its population. The language used is technical and scientific, with references to specific data and sources. The text also mentions the concept of "substantial contamination" and the risk of acute radiation injury. This suggests that the text is focused on the scientific and health aspects of a nuclear attack, rather than economic or social impacts.
