The N bomb
The bomb N is considered not like destructive but like tactical arm, draft of
a thermonuclear bomb of an inferior to kiloton but equipped power of opportune
technical sagacities so that it mainly concentrates the energy developed in the
reaction nuclear in the emission of fast neutrons and less in the effects than
explosion and of heat.
In the bomb N the neutron spread catches up a beam of beyond 1 kilometer, a beam
much advanced one to that destructive one of the device that would have to be
of 200-300 m. The neutrons can penetrate through remarkable spessori of matter
and therefore for a great range they can kill all the living beings without to
destroy to constructions and materials; this allows the war and industrial means
recovery of the enemy.
This type of device comes place to edge of projects them of artillery, from mortar,
or of a small surface-to-surface or air-to-ground missile.
“The dirty” bomb
In these last times with “the advent” of the fear of the terrorism
it has often been spoken about the dirty bomb, this device would not have to be
of no usefullness in war use.
Practically draft of a conventional explosive (c4, dynamite, etc.) place beside
of the radioactive material, at the moment of the explosion the radioactive matter
comes pulverized and dispersed in a beam not much large one, this depends also
on the power of the used explosive, on the place of the outbreak and the atmospheric
conditions (wind, etc.).
An outbreak of this type would render the zone hit radioactive and therefore it
would be necessary to evacuate the zone and, in case also to pull down the palaces
and the constructions hit in order then to clean up all the zone.
It projects them of poor
uranio
When inizziò to use the uranio in the bombs and in it centers them electrical
workers had also to be worked the uranio for being able to purify it, in fact
for the fission it comes used the isotope of the uranio-235. The problem turned
out in the fact that in nature a every atom of uranio-235 140 atoms of uranio-238
is found alone therefore after to have purified it an enormous stoccato amount
of uranio-238 was found to us.
Next to that point the military usuals thought well to take advantage of the weight
of this material, than in fact he turns out beyond two times heavier of the steel,
and, if fine subdivided, it is inflamed spontaneously: it is, like is said, piroforico.
Therefore it was believed to use it in order to increase the penetration of projects
them, so as to to smash in the armors better than steel of the tanks and the buildings
it armors to you, if the uranio polverizza in the impact against the structure
of the enemy, the fact that fires spontaneously of it facilitates the destructive
effect.
