	Broken Arrows: Nuclear Weapons Accidents \| atomicarchive.com
		Since 1950, there have been 32 nuclear weapon accidents, known as "Broken Arrows." A Broken Arrow is defined as an unexpected event involving nuclear weapons that result in the accidental launching, firing, detonating, theft or loss of the weapon.
		Preliminary exams by bomb disposal officers said it was a miracle that one Mark 6 with exposed detonators sheared didn't explode.
		A nuclear detonation was not possible since the nuclear capsule was not on board the aircraft.

	B43 nuclear bomb Information
		Depending on version, the B43 was 18 inches (45 cm) in diameter, and length was between 12 ft 6 in and 13 ft 8 in (3.81 m and 4.15 m).
		The B43 was never used in anger, but it was involved in a nuclear accident when an A-4 Skyhawk of the USS Ticonderoga (VA-56) was lost off the coast of Japan on 5 December 1965.
		The B43 was phased out in the 1980s, and the last B43 weapons were retired in 1991 in favor of the newer B61 and B83 weapons.

	Nuclear Warships and Naval Nuclear Weapons 1990: A Complete Inventory
		Eight U.S. naval nuclear weapons under development since the mid-1970s -- vertical launch ASROC with a nuclear warhead, Standard Missile 2 (Nuclear), nuclear Harpoon, nuclear Phoenix, Sea Lance, the anti-submarine warfare standoff weapon, insertable nuclear components, a naval nuclear artillery projectile -- were cancelled for one reason or another.
		Nuclear Propulsion One of the most intriguing aspects of the current and projected cutbacks in naval forces is the coming decline in the number of nuclear reactors at sea.
		As nuclear weapons assigned for purely "naval" missions are eliminated, the remaining nuclear weapons -- long-range SLCMs, land-based attack aviation, and aircraft carrier aviation -- are shown to be integral to theater, and increasingly strategic, arsenals.

		Note: US nuclear weapons of all types (bombs, warheads, shells, and others) are numbered in the same sequence starting with the Mark 1 and (as of March 2006) ending with the W-91 missile warhead (which was cancelled prior to introduction into service).
		In some cases, such as B53 nuclear bomb and W-53 warhead, and the W54 and Davy Crockett Mk-54, the same core nuclear system was used in multiple applications.
		In other cases, variants are assigned their own number, such as the B61 nuclear bomb which was the parent design for the W80, W81, and W84.

	U.S. nuclear stockpile, July 1996 \| thebulletin.org
		The W48 artillery shell (March 1996), the B61 Mod-0 bomb (June 1996), and the W70 for the Lance (February 1996) are warheads for which disassembly has been completed, or is nearly complete.
		Despite no new nuclear warhead production since 1990, delivery of the eighteenth and final Trident submarine in 1997, and completion of B-2 bomber production in 1998, the cost of modernizing and maintaining the nuclear force continues to be sizable.
		In weapons nomenclature B stands for "bomb" and W for "warhead." The number following the letter indicates the order in which it was introduced into the stockpile; for example, W88 followed W87.

	NRDC: Nuclear Data - Table of US Strategic Bomber Forces, 1945-2012
		The SIOP is the central nuclear war plan of the U.S. It is developed by the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff at the Strategic Air Command in Omaha, Nebraska.
		It is incredibly complex once matching over 10,000 nuclear warheads with their targets taking into account factors of reliability, timing, target hardness, collateral damage, etc. The U.S. bomber's role in the overall plan must be integrated with ballistic missile salvos from SSBNs and land based forces in the U.S. and Europe.
		The average bomb loadings are assumed to be: 4.5 in 1964, 5 in 1965, 5.5 in 1966, 6 in 1967, 7 in 1968, and 8 in 1969.

		Insofar as the world perceives the five nuclear navies as dangerous and unstable, their freedom of movement and the continued generosity of their respective governments is compromised.
		If they had admitted that the Belknap and the Kennedy were carrying nuclear warheads, the Navy would be forced to deal with the controversy, if not the restrictions, that could accompany port calls at nations that are not eager to have nuclear weapons introduced into their territory.
		This incident made it onto the "Chronology of Nuclear Accident Statements" released by the Department of Defense in 1968, but it sank from view soon thereafter and was conspicuously absent from a register of nuclear weapons accidents released in April 1981.

		All of the events leading up to a fusion bomb unleashing its energy happen in about 600 billionths of a second (550 billionths of a second for the fission bomb implosion, 50 billionths of a second for the fusion events).
		According to the Nuclear Posture Review, the first four of these boats are slated for removal from the nuclear role (either through retirement or removal of missile tubes and reorientation to other missions).
		The ACM carries a W80-1 nuclear warhead (5Kt or 170-200 Kt yield), is 6.84m long with a 3.34m wingspan, weighs 1680kg and has a range of 3000km.

		The BLU-61/B was an aerially dispensed anti-material fragmentation and incendiary bomblet.
		The bomb was used in Vietnam for mine-clearing (detonating the mines by the overpressure of the FAE's explosion) and as an anti-personnel weapon.
		The cradle with the bomb is then pulled out of the aircraft by an extraction parachute, after which the bomb separates from the cradle and descends in a nose-down attitude under its own stablization and retarding parachute.

	Nuclear Bombs Stored at Nellis
		Vucanovich said her confidence in nuclear weapons safety has been bolstered by the track record of the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy in handling and storing weapons ever since 1961, when the government began testing them at the Nevada Test Site, 66 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
		He said the type of nuclear bombs presently stored at the Nellis depot are the B61 Mod 3 and the B61 Mod 4.
		Both are tactical nuclear bombs designed by scientists at the Los Alamos, N.M., laboratory for delivery by F-111 and F-16 fighter jets, and for allied aircraft.

		In a sense, the JASONs were shadow-boxing their own visualizations as to tactical nuclear weapons that might have been used by the Viet Cong, although at the time, there was no way to know what the Soviets or Chinese might have supplied.
		The bomb is optimized for a particular yield, and the crater diameter is about double that of a surface-burst of the same yield.
		However, this weapon was not yet in service (indeed, it is still not in service although a variant of the B61 bomb has been created that placed a hardened steel casing around the warhead to enable it to penetrate about 20 feet into dry earth when dropped from 40,000 feet).

		This treaty was intended to ban all nuclear tests (based on a negotiated definition of "nuclear test") by all nuclear weapon possessing states (declared or undeclared).
		The Russian nuclear arsenal remains in an uncertain state of flux due to the direct and indirect consequences of the breakup and economic collapse of the Soviet Union.
		The bomb was exploded inside the hull of the HMS Plym (1450 ton frigate) which was anchored in 40 feet of water 400 yards off shore.

	The B83 Bomb
		The megaton class B83 is the most modern nuclear bomb in the U.S. arsenal.
		The warhead is mounted forward in the bomb body in the first compartment (the "forward case") to make the bomb nose-heavy.
		The B83 is descended from the earlier B-77 bomb program which was terminated due to cost, complexity, and weight of the bomb delivery system.

		It was carrying 2 nuclear torpedoes and 16 missiles with two warheads each when it went down 600 miles northeast of Bermuda in 1986.
		In 1989, the American military finally disclosed that the B43 nuclear warhead that fell into the sea near Okinawa was still at the bottom of the sea, only 100km from the nearest Japanese island.
		50,000 nuclear fuel assemblies from those reactors sit in storage tanks, some of which are undoubtedly leaking, and in open air bins on military bases and shipyards.

	Nuclear Terrorism: How Serious a Threat to Russia? - Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs - Harvard ...
		In fact, as the most recent Harvard report on containing the nuclear threat shows, under Bush fewer ‘near nukes’ (lumps of highly enriched uranium (HEU) and plutonium from which a terrorist could make a nuclear weapon) in Russia were secured in the two years after 9/11 than in the two years prior to 9/11.
		Chechen separatists have had a long-standing interest in acquiring nuclear weapons and material to use in their campaign against Russia. In addition to surveying Kurchatov, Chechen militants have conducted surveillance of the railway system and special trains designed for shipping nuclear weapons across Russia.
		If and when the first nuclear terrorist attack occurs, whoever is president of Russia or the U.S. will do all this and more. On the morning after, these leaders will have to explain why they did not take these actions sooner.

	B-52 STRATOFORTRESS FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Although built for the role of Cold War-era nuclear deterrent, its conventional capabilities are these days the more important role in USAF operations, where its long range, heavy weapons load and fearsome reputation are indispensable.
		B-52s dropped bombs on suspected enemy arms caches and hideouts on the Trail, often inflicting huge losses on the Communist forces, as well as on the citizens of Laos and Cambodia.
		The remaining G and H models were used for nuclear standby ("alert") duty to maintain the air strike "tip" of the United States' nuclear deterrence "triad." This triad was the combination of nuclear-armed land-based missiles, submarine-based missiles, and manned bombers.

		The B-1B was originally built as a nuclear-armed replacement for the B-52.
		In this capacity, the plane's three bomb bays were compatible with SRAM and ALCM nuclear missiles as well as free-fall nuclear bombs.
		Early phases of this effort gave the B-1B the ability to carry a large payload of Mk 82 500-lb or Mk 84 1,000-lb unguided bombs, cluster munitions, and the GPS-guided GBU-31 JDAM.

	B61
		Designed by the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory in northern New Mexico, the lightweight bomb could be delivered by the Air Force, Navy and NATO planes at very high altitudes and at speeds above Mach 2.
		The B61 series was developed to replace older, tactical Air Force nuclear bombs such as the B28, B43, and B67.
		The retarded ground burst is also called "laydown" because the weapon lies on the ground for a period before detonation.
