Description: Federation of American Scientist report on US development of a new generation of precision low-yield nuclear weapons.
The Journal of the Federation of American Scientists Low-Yield Earth-Penetrating Nuclear Weapons Low-Yield Earth-Penetrating Nuclear Weapons Diagrams like this one give the false impression that a low-yield earth penetrating nuclear weapon would "limit collateral damage" and therefore be relatively safe to use. In fact, because of the large amount of radioactive dirt thrown out in the explosion, the hypothetical 5-kiloton weapon discussed in the accompanying article would produce a large area of lethal fallout.
