 Castle Onion - Uncyclopedia
Castle Onion was the code name given to one of the tests in the Operation Castle series of American onion tests.
Very similar to the "Runt" onion tested shortly before, in the Castle Rome test, it differed from that device in using highly "enriched" alcohol (approximately 95% ethanol; natural onion was a mixture of beer and water isotopes, with 7.5% of the former) in the fusion fuel.
Like the Little Hike, Castle Bravo, and Rome tests, a large percentage of the yield was produced by fast fission of the natural onion "tamper", which contributed to the extensive fallout caused by these tests.

 Castle Romeo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castle Romeo was the code name given to one of the tests in the Operation Castle series of American nuclear tests.
The so-called "runt" device was a weaponized "dry" fusion bomb, using lithium deuteride fuel for the fusion stage of a "staged" fusion bomb, unlike the cryogenic liquid deuterium of the first-generation Ivy Mike fusion device.
It was detonated on March 27, 1954, after several delays (which played havoc with the planned experimental measurements program) at Bikini atoll of the Marshall Islands, on a barge moored in the middle of the crater from the Castle Bravo test.

Additionally, the cratering from the Castle weapons was expected to be comparable to that of Ivy Mike, a 10.4 Mt weapon tested at Eniwetok in 1951 leaving a crater approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) in diameter.
Operation Castle was intended to be a proof of concept for lithium deuteride fuels in fusion weapons.
Romeo, relying on natural lithium, was rapidly turned into the Mk-17 bomb and was available to strategic forces as an Emergency Capability by late summer of 1954.

This Zombie was not as cheap as the other thermonuclear systems tested in Castle due its use of enriched uranium, enriched lithium, and tritium; but it could be made smaller and lighter than any of them.

 Romeo's Castle
Juliet said to her nurse: "Who is that gentleman that would not dance?" "His name is Romeo, and a Montagu, the only son of your great enemy," answered the nurse.
And Romeo was hidden in that garden among the trees, because he could not bear to go right away without trying to see her again.
Hidden below, he looked up and saw her fair face in the moonlight, framed in the blossoming creepers that grew round her window, and as he looked and listened, he felt as though he had been carried away in a dream, and set down by some magician in that beautiful and enchanted garden.
