Comet and Asteroid Threat Impact Analysis

James A. Marusek*
Impact, Bloomfield, Indiana, 47424

[Abstract] A comet or asteroid impact event can release tremendous destruction which
has been compared to the damage released from a very large thermonuclear explosion. This
is a fairly useful analogy. The nuclear explosion effects are a well-studied science that can be
directly applied to the study of impacts. This paper provides formulas for converting
impactor size, speed and density into impact energy (megatons of TNT equivalent). The
level of impact energy is then applied to nuclear weapon effects tables to provide estimates
for the magnitude of damage as a function of distance from point-of-impact.

A 1 Megaton blast is produced by a meteor 89 feet in diameter; about the size of a house. This will injure 25% of the people within an 8 mile radius, blow down 30% of trees within 5 miles, kill 50% of people within 4 miles, and 98% of people within 1 mile of the impact crater.
