	B61 nuclear bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The newest variant is the B61 Mod 11, a hardened penetration bomb with a reinforced casing (according to some sources, containing depleted uranium) and a delayed-action fuse, allowing it to penetrate several metres into the ground before detonating, damaging fortified structures further underground [2].
		At present, the primary carrier for the B61 Mod 11 is the B-2 Spirit.
		Most versions of the B61 are equipped with a parachute retarder (currently a 24-ft (7.32 m) diameter nylon/Kevlar chute) to slow the weapon in its descent, giving the aircraft a chance to escape the blast (or to allow the weapon to survive impact with the ground in laydown mode).

	B61 Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The B61 Family are a series of thermonuclear bombs and thermonuclear warheads based on the B61 nuclear bomb.
		The nuclear device within the outer B61 core is probably the same overall dimensions as the W80 warhead, which is 11.8 inches in diameter and 31.4 inches long.
		Though details are unclear, the B90 nuclear bomb design for the US Navy is dimensionally similar or identical to the B61 core and W80 warhead, and it is likely that it is a B61 family device.

		The B61, originally known (prior to 1968) as the Mk 61, was designed in 1963.
		Approximately 150 are deployed with USAF units in Great Britain, Germany, and Turkey, and held in U.S. custody for use by NATO squadrons in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
		The newest variant is the B61 Mod 11, a hardened penetration bomb with a reinforced casing (according to some sources, containing depleted uranium) and a delayed-action fuse, allowing it to penetrate fortified structures such as command posts before detonating.

	The B61 Family of Nuclear Bombs
		All B61 models are scheduled to undergo life extension and retrofit programs over the next decade, and approximately 400 bombs are scheduled to be “consumed” in quality and reliability testing through 2025.
		The basic B61 bomb weighs approximately 700 pounds, is slightly over 13 inches in diameter, and is 11.8 feet long from nose to fin-tip.
		The B61 has also served as the basic design for three other warheads: the W80-0 sea-launched cruise missile warhead; the W80-1 warhead for the air-launched cruise missile and the advanced cruise missile; and the W85 warhead for the Pershing II missile.

	The B61
		The physics package of the B61 has been adapted to several yield other warheads - the W-80, W-81 (now retired and dismantled), W-84 (now retired and in the inactive stockpile), and the W-85 (which was retired, and then readapted to yield another B61 variant).
		The lowest yield option for the B61 (the same for all tactical mods) is 300 tons which probably represents the basic unboosted yield of the fission primary.
		The original B61 bomb and warhead systems have gone through many modifications since the initial development effort, extending up to the present time (a ground penetrator version is in development right now).

	B61-11 Concerns and Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The current B61 modification allegedly involves only the nonnuclear components of the bomb (notwithstanding months of effort at Los Alamos National Laboratory [LANL]).
		The B61 family of weapons can be configured with a wide variety of yields, including 0.3, 1.5, 5, 10, 45, 60, 60, 80, 170, and 340 kilotons.
		There were underground nuclear tests of earth penetrator warheads in 1988 and 1989 of both "interim" and "strategic" designs; the former was in fact based on the B61 and was called the W61.

		The B61 "mod-11" gravity bomb is the first new nuclear capability added to the U.S. arsenal since 1989.
		Since this modification of the B61 is not currently in the stockpile, there is no Stockpile Evaluation data for it.
		None of the writers at the breakfast meeting seemed to note that since 1978, the United States had assured the world that it would never use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries that signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), unless the nation were allied in aggression with a nuclear weapon state.

	Los Alamos Study Group
		Interest in a B61-based earth penetrator appears to have been revived with an October 1993 request by Harold Smith, assistant to the secretary of defense for atomic energy, to explore alternatives to the B53.
		At present, said Smith, the United States had no conventional weapon capable of destroying the plant from the air, and such a weapon would not be ready in less than two years.
		However, by the end of the year, the United States would have a nuclear warhead based on the B61 that would be able to do the job.

		But a serious flaw in the concept of nuclear earth-penetrating weapons, even those with relatively low yields, is that they cannot penetrate deeply enough to contain a nuclear explosion and its deadly radioactive fallout.
		The current tactical versions of the B61 are the Mods 3, 4, and 10.
		The B61 bomb has the unique distinction of being the only remaining nuclear weapon deployed outside U.S. borders (excluding the missile warheads on patrolling nuclear-powered ballistic-missile subs).

		They contend that the B61 11 is a new weapon because it gives the United States a new capability¾to destroy deeply buried targets, such as command and control bunkers.
		The position of the U.S. government is that the B61 11 is only a modification of the existing B61 7 bomb and that it utilizes an existing nuclear package that has not required a nuclear test.
		Although subsequently repudiated, Harold Smith, assistant to the secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical and biological defense programs, asserted in April 1996 that the B61 11 could be used to destroy a suspected underground chemical weapons facility under construction in Libya, a member of the NPT.

		The B83 bomb was also considered as a candidate, but B61-7 was chosen because it was the "most mature" (note that for the RNEP, the DOE chose the B83 rather than the B61).
