The purpose of this manual is to provide a guide to assist commanders in developing the firing and the assembly and transport elements of Honest John units whenever equipped with the lightweight XM33 launcher into efficient teams capable of operating effectively under combat conditions. The material...
During each hurricane season, there always appear suggestions that one should simply use nuclear weapons to try and destroy the storms. Apart from the fact that this might not even alter the storm, this approach neglects the problem that the released radioactive fallout would fairly quickly move ...
The earlier methods were unable to detect radioactive fallout more than a half-mile from each bomb site. The scientists examined copper samples from Hiroshima buildings for trace amounts of a radioactive nickel isotope produced by the atomic bomb explosion. The amount of nickel in each copper ...
A radioactive material, during its decay process, emits ionizing radiation that can easily turn neutral atoms into positively charged ions by knocking off their electrons. When a living being is exposed to such high-energy radiation, it doesn’t make someone radioactive or super-powered, but it...
The blast would be similar to that of a medium-sized nuclear detonation, but the radioactive fallout would be much, much worse——a veritable salad of everything on the periodic table turning into everything else as fast as possible.A mushroom cloud would rise over the city. The top of ...
The damage is caused by several things: A wave of intense heat from the explosion Pressure from the shock wave created by the blast Radiation Radioactive fallout, which includes clouds of fine radioactive particles of dust and bomb debris that fall back to the ground At the hypocenter, every...
Tactical nuclear weapons, by design, do not have as much radioactive fallout, since they are used against a specific target, but there is still some fallout. Nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein has built a simulation calledNukeMapto estimate the effects of nuclear strikes. According to NukeMap, ...

The heat energy of a hurricane is equivalent to a 10-megaton nuclear bomb exploding every 20 minutes. A hurricane would laugh if you dropped a nuke on it, and then spread the radioactive fallout far and wide. How else might we stop or control a hurricane?
