SNIP
Size and Weight. Nobody was capable of putting a 30-40 ton warhead of that size at those heights. Well, that, and atmospheric attenuation - all the prompt stuff, and the heat, gets absobed pretty quickly by the Atmosphere, and there'd be no fallout. There would, if you chose the right height, be pretty severe EMP effects, but you don't need a whopping huge bomb for that. SNIP: No fall out? The 100 MT was achieved by wrapping a multi-ton U238 jacket about Ivan. The fast neutrons from Ivan fission the U238 and now you have multi tons of fallout added to Ivan. This of course is the fission-fusion-fission bomb in mega-size. I make the fireball from 100MT about 67,000 feet in diameter. using known sizes and the W^1/3 relation. Walt BJ |
