What type of threat does a blast radius specifically pertain to?

The concept of blast radius is intrinsically linked to explosive threats, as it refers to the area around the point of detonation where the effects of an explosion can be felt. This includes not only the immediate destruction caused by the explosion but also the subsequent impact of shockwaves, flying debris, and heat produced during the blast. Understanding the blast radius is crucial for EOD personnel when assessing the potential damage and risk to personnel and infrastructure in the vicinity of an explosive device. Effective threat mitigation and safety planning rely heavily on accurately determining this radius, making it a fundamental aspect of dealing with explosives.
