	Nuclear weapons delivery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuclear weapons delivery is the technology and systems used to place a nuclear weapon at the position of detonation, on or near its intended target.
		Weapons which are used primarily as part of a doctrine of deterrence by threatening large targets, such as cities, are known as "strategic" nuclear weapons.
		Weapons meant for use in limited military maneuvers, such as destroying specific military, communications, or infrastructure targets, are known as "tactical" nuclear weapons, and are usually of much smaller yields.

	Nuclear weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The detonation of a nuclear weapon is accompanied by a blast of neutron radiation.
		Nuclear weapons were symbols of military and national power, and nuclear testing was often used both to test new designs as well as to send political messages.
		Nuclear weapons have been at the heart of many national and international political disputes and have played a major part in popular culture since their dramatic public debut in the 1940s and have usually symbolized the ultimate ability of mankind to utilize the strength of nature for destruction.

	MILNET: Nuclear Weapons Delivery
		During all manipulations of the weapons prior to takeoff or launch of a nuclear armed aircraft or rocket, the switch would be in its normal state of safe, which prevented not only PAL activation, but physical maninpulation of nuclear components which could cause detonation.
		As mentioned earlier, the weapon was usually connected to the aircraft so that it could be armed with the final arming command (in later scenarios this required the arming personnel (pilot or bombadier) to reenter the correct PAL sequence, matching the one input on the ground for the device.
		Larger nuclear weapons could be constructed using the small device as the primary, however, larger weapons are more easily detected with radiation measurement devices, and the sheer weight of MT scale weapons (lots of U235 or U238 for instance...Uranium is heavier than lead) would mean truck or rail transport.

	Nuclear weapons - Uncyclopedia
		Perhaps the biggest danger from a nuclear explosion is the dazzling initial light that is emitted for several seconds; looking directly at it can be as dangerous as staring into the sun for too long, and those with fair skin may require lotion.
		If a nuclear explosion occurs on or near the ground, the head of the mushroom may float on the breeze for many miles, drifting to earth and dirtying exposed washing, car windscreens and light-coloured paintwork.
		According to modern research, Nuclear Weapons are best used in confined quarters like the UnStar, and a room, preferably not in private, but open to the world, so a possible Fart Detonation could wreak havoc amongst the entire human race.

	Nuclear weapons facts
		A nuclear weapon is a weapon which derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions of either nuclear fission or the more powerful fusion.
		As a result, even a nuclear weapon with a relatively small yield is significantly more powerful than the largest conventional explosives, and a single weapon can destroy or seriously disable an entire city.

		"Destroy" means, with regard to a nuclear weapon and its delivery vehicle, to remove the warhead from its delivery vehicle, dismantle and disable the warhead, dispose of its special nuclear material, and dismantle and disable or convert the delivery vehicle to non-nuclear use, in accordance with the provisions of this Convention.
		All treatment of nuclear material that improves its quality to the level of special nuclear material or improves the accessibility of special nuclear material is prohibited, as for example separation of plutonium from spent fuel, enrichment of uranium in U-235 beyond unavoidable civilian requirements but not beyond 20% or extraction of tritium from heavy water.
		All delivery vehicles capable of use for the delivery of nuclear weapons or non- nuclear weapons {Schedule 2 of Annex on Delivery Vehicles} shall be destroyed according to Article IV {Phases for Implementation} or converted for purposes not prohibited under this Convention.
