What effect of a nuclear detonation often causes lung damage and ruptured eardrums?
The intense blast wave from a nuclear detonation is responsible for causing lung damage and ruptured eardrums. The rapid change in air pressure can lead to these injuries by creating a powerful shockwave that propagates outward from the explosion.
What type of device causes the purposeful dissemination of radioactive material across an area without a nuclear detonation?

What is emitted mainly during a nuclear detonation?
Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.

What is a fall out shelter?
A nuclear fall out shelter is anywhere you can hide from the effects of a nuclear detonation. When a nuclear device is detonated above the ground it causes debris to be tossed into the troposphere and sometime stratosphere. This then falls back to earth as radioactive particles. A fall out shelter usually has three feet of soil above it to absorb the gamma radiation that is emitted from these particles. In most cases the radioactive particles dissipate quickly and people have to only be in a fallout shelter for a few weeks. Underground shelters also act against blast and thermal radiation (heat radiation) from a nuclear detonation. http://www.waverage.com has more about this.
Why is a nuclear weapon dangerous?
Like anything that contains the word "weapon", it's dangerous. Mostly because Nuclear weapons can cause long-lasting radiation, which causes leukemia and radiation poisoning. That's on top of the enormous amount of destruction that take place when the shock waves from the detonation go through cities.
What causes engine failure?
There are four causes of the engine failure. The four causes of the engine failure includes engine overheating, lubrication problems, misassembly , and detonation.
