Abstract


This report explores the volume, crowd placement and energy requirements of the plutonium rock band Disaster Area featured in Douglas Adams' second novel. The band was found to produce a loudness of 304 dB 1 m away from the speaker. This gave an estimate of 2.64*10^20 kg of plutonium undergoing fission in order to allow the two hour concert to perform at this noise level.
