Can't go into the scenario, but the ET ruptures and explodes instantly. I have all the data on procedures, all I need is some hard data on the explosive force in relation to a full detonation of an ET on the pad.

I have the data for such an explosion of a Saturn V but can't find anything NASA surely would have written somewhere to describe the worst-case of a shuttle stack detonating on the pad.

Does anyone know where I can go to find what NASA thought for such a case here a stack blew up on the pad before lifting off? They must have written something like that to establish safe minimums for people on the ground as well as for rescue/recovery people. I'd also like ay theorized data on what they thought it'd do the surrounding structures as a part of the book would cover people climbing all over what was left, afterward.
