Hi all! Just a little question regarding tiny nuclear detonations.
Say that you have a 0.1 Kiloton warhead go boom at sea level on
the surface of an ocean. The first thing I want to know is whether
of not you agree with the blast radius given by Striker rules
(no damage beyond 300 meters, if I'm reading this correctly).
The second thing I'm wondering about is, how high in TL would you
have to go before you could squeeze the bomb (detonation equipment,
shielding, and nuclear material) into the space of... roughly...
a soccer ball (or football for those of you outside the United
States)? The third thing I want to know is, how far away, roughly,
could the average person hear the "little boom"? And fourth,
would the waves generated by this critter pose a significant
hazard to costal populations which are more than five or ten
miles from ground zero? Finally, could a reliable nuke be made
at the 0.01 - 0.001 range in order to deliver a little bang
(say to completely destroy a city block with something the size
of a grapefruit)? Just wondering out loud. It's for the
Harrison Chapters, of course. Muchos thanx in advance...
