I've physically been on/around both where that cannon was emplaced and where the detonation was getting to spend a day driving around the NTS/NNSA was pretty cool

It also killed Harry Daghlian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Daghlian quote:During an experiment on August 21, 1945, Daghlian was attempting to build a neutron reflector manually by stacking a set of 4.4-kilogram (9.7 lb) tungsten carbide bricks in an incremental fashion around a plutonium core. The purpose of the neutron reflector was to reduce the mass required for the plutonium core to attain criticality.[5] He was moving the final brick over the assembly, but neutron counters alerted Daghlian to the fact that the addition of that brick would render the system supercritical. As he withdrew his hand, he inadvertently dropped the brick onto the center of the assembly. Since the assembly was nearly in the critical state, the accidental addition of that brick caused the reaction to go immediately into the prompt supercritical region of neutronic behavior. This resulted in a criticality accident.[5] Don't manhandle nuclear cores. Also, listen to Fermi when he says you will be dead within a year if you tinker with nuclear cores with your bare hands.

We need more above ground testing so NASA can shoot it with that bad rear end new HDR camera they used on a rocket. Also a red camera shooting at 4k & 120fps

This one looks like the footage from the 700kt A-bomb the Brits were hoping would exceed a megaton in order to dupe the public that they already had the H-bomb, when they hadn't. They were scrambling to produce enough tritium, but in their haste, they hosed up their nuclear facility at Windscale. Speaking of Windscale, this is the hilarious setup of that plant.  "That's right. Let's just ramrod fuel elements in aluminum-finned casings through a giant air-cooled graphite core and have them drop into a little water basin on the other side? No, we don't need air filters for the giant chimney. What? Some douchebag is making us install huge filters anyway? Let's call the filters something that mocks his name then, boy will he feel stupid when the graphite core never catches fire. We need to convert fuel quicker? gently caress it, let's just make the casing of the fuel elements thinner so they get hotter, what could possibly go wrong. What's that? Elements got stuck and caught fire? Turn up the fan, we'll just blow the fire out. Okay, so turning up the fan made the fire spread, let's douse it in water, blazing uranium/aluminium really likes water." Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Aug 15, 2016 |

Windscale has the best understatement ever from the guy who had to open the inspection hatch and see if it was still on fire: "I went up to check several times until I was satisfied that the fire was out. I did stand to one side, sort of hopefully, but if you're staring straight at the core of a shut down reactor you're going to get quite a bit of radiation."

The best thing about that documentary is the nonchalant way the Brits are talking about their one-on-one with a no-poo poo-molten-down graphite reactor with burning fuel elements. "Bit of a blaze, covering looked a wee bit dodgy."

Nukechat and rocketchat combine forces! Back in the 70s, the US put together a pretty decent ABM system. It had two parts; the exoatmospheric interceptor, Spartan, could reach altitude over 500 km and had a 5 megaton W71 warhead. It was the sane member of the family. Sprint was Spartan's little brother. The W66 warhead on Sprint was a neutron bomb (everyone's favorite); intended to kill incoming warheads through ridiculous neutron flux. As it was designed to engage incoming warheads well within the atmosphere (wiki says 1500-30000m), Sprint needed very good acceleration and speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msXtgTVMcuA They also tested HiBEX, which could accelerate at 400gs and would have intercepted warheads at very low altitude; quote:HIBEX was designed for low level intercept of entry vehicles below 3 km altitude within 2 seconds of launch. Hibex' neutron-generating warhead would disable the fissile core of the incoming enemy re-entry vehicle. It would also kill all living things within a 5 km radius of detonation.

I read someone describe a missile launch as it not really looking like a launch, the missile "just hosed off" and that definitely describes a Sprint launch pretty well.quote:HIBEX was designed for low level intercept of entry vehicles below 3 km altitude within 2 seconds of launch. Hibex' neutron-generating warhead would disable the fissile core of the incoming enemy re-entry vehicle.

Ah, I was wondering about that, since I wasn't sure what airburst height would've been, but it didn't seem like it could've been all that much less than 3km since Hiroshima and Nagasaki apparently were 1800 feet, giving a pretty small interception window. Antiforce would mean groundburst, so you get a couple more hundred meters to nuke the nuke in. That's interesting / insane.

Not to mention most of those silos are in the middle of a field somewhere, there may only be one house within 5km. Not like it mattered, Safeguard was operational for all of 5 months.
