If you’ve got an hour and a half and want to find out exactly what a three stage thermonuclear weapon is and how it works or whether a neutron bomb was really invented to empty a city of humans but leave the buildings intact then this guide might interest you.\u00a0 I’d always wanted to know how a cobalt bomb worked.<\/p>\n
I watched it with great interest.\u00a0 I learned a number of things that I hadn’t known.\u00a0 For instance, in a multi-megaton bombardment of a city very few of the deaths will be by radiation poisoning.\u00a0 The fireball and blast wave will kill mostly everyone who would have received a fatal dose of primary radiation from the fission and fusion neutrons and gamma radiation.\u00a0 and the fallout will be dispersed into the stratosphere by the mushroom cloud for the whole world to enjoy later.\u00a0 And I didn’t realize that hydrogen bombs were filled with styrofoam.\u00a0 Don’t tthese monsters know how environmentally unfriendly styrofaom is?<\/p>\n
