The United States conducted an underground test of a plutonium bomb

American experts conducted an underground experimental explosion at the site in Nevada.

As noted in the message, the explosion, called Pollux, became the 27-m in a row subcritical nuclear experiment. The previous one, Barolo B, was produced in February 2011 of the year, the media reported.

Representatives of the US Department of Energy said that the purpose of such experiments is to collect scientific information, which will greatly contribute to "ensuring the safety and efficiency of the national nuclear weapons".

A subcritical explosion involves the detonation of explosives around a radioactive material without reaching a critical mass and starting a chain reaction. In the course of the experiment, the behavior of plutonium under conditions of exposure to a large amount of explosives is studied.

Extreme tests were carried out in 1998 and 2000. In October this year, Rosatom announced that the tests would be resumed.
First, to determine the safety and reliability of older types of warheads
Secondly, the results of subcritical tests can also be used to create new generation warheads.. And it pleases.
Another indication that Russia is “on the way to something” at the Novaya Zemlya test site is the closure of civilian flights at Rogachevo Airport. The airport provides nuclear testing in the Matochkin Circle, which divides the northern and southern islands.
Also in October Barentsoffserver He reported on Russia's plans to transfer groups of MIG-31 supersonic fighters to the same water area.

nokki,

planning nuclear warhead. for Topol-M already created it is necessary to conduct not only test launches but also to resume subcritical tests which, incidentally, are not prohibited by the Non-Proliferation Treaty ..
Something can be learned on the Internet here

For the first time, such a development of the Russian military-industrial complex was talked about in an undertone during the time of Defense Minister Igor Sergeev. The minister fought to increase spending on the Strategic Missile Forces close to him in his previous duty station and, in particular, to increase the volume of purchases of the latest Topol-M strategic missile system. It was for him that the so-called planning nuclear warhead was created. What is it, the marshal and his entourage categorically refused to speak, but not without pride hinted that, unlike ordinary ballistic warheads, this device can at the very last moment as independently change the flight path - according to a previously entered program, so be redirected already over enemy territory.

[S_mirnov]

In general, they are for the reduction of ya. everywhere except America, and it should be noted we are actively helping them in this, unfortunately.
"US State Department spokesman Nuland recalled that within the framework of a program aimed at eliminating surplus Russian nuclear weapons, over 20 years it was possible to" destroy more than 7,6 thousand nuclear warheads, ensure the safety of fissile materials, reduce the level of biological threat and reorient military facilities to work in peaceful directions. "" This program benefits the Russian and American peoples, as well as the whole world. And we hope that it will be continued, "- said the representative of the State Department."

The current START-3 Treaty registers warheads as follows
[

b] “The number of warheads is the number of warheads deployed on deployed ICBMs and on deployed SLBMs”

Therefore, the so-called "return potential" is not regulated by anything. Only actually carriers of nuclear submarines and aircraft DA and ICBM delivery vehicles of the Strategic Missile Forces. Therefore, we can have any charges in the warehouses as much as we want, and it does not matter what charges or species characteristics.
Example. The START-1 treaty prohibits the equipping of existing types of "monoblock" missiles with separated warheads (therefore, on the first Topol we were on duty with one AP even though they could carry three) The START-I text clearly distinguishes between the concepts of "new type" and "modernized missile" for a number of parameters, for example Yars is a modernized rocket RT-2PM2 "Topol-M", equipped with an RGCh instead of one warhead and definitely fell under START-1
In the text of START-III RS-24 published immediately after signing was listed as separate from RT-2PM2 (RS-12M2 according to START) type. and accordingly did not fall under any prohibitions.

Here you are right, here is the news from Clinton .......................................... ...............................
.....
The United States will try to prevent the re-establishment of the Soviet Union in the new version under the guise of economic integration, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in Dublin.

According to the Financial Times, she said this at a press conference shortly before the meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Press Secretary of President Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov said that Clinton’s interpretation reflects a “completely misunderstanding” of integration processes. “Now we see a new type of integration in the territory of the former USSR that is based only on the economy,” he said. “Any other option for unification is completely impossible in today's world.”

Efforts are underway to re-Sovietize the region, said the head of the US State Department. She stressed that officially this will be called differently, for example, “Customs Union”, “Eurasian Union” and something like that. “But let's not be fooled,” Clinton said. “We know the real purpose of this, and are already trying to work out effective ways to slow down or prevent [integration].”

The Secretary of State linked Moscow’s desire for leadership in the region with new “repressions” by pro-Russian regimes in the republics of the former USSR, where tough laws were passed. In Washington, they are upset that 20 years after the collapse of the USSR, there is a rollback from the “progress indicators” that have already appeared. The Financial Times writes that Clinton’s tone showed that "the US has begun reassessing a reset of its relationship with Russia."

In general, Peskov reacts sluggishly. Her (Clinton's) statement is tantamount to saying that, say, Medvedev will declare that Russia will not allow the existence of the 3rd Reich under the guise of the European Union. It's time to put the State Department in its place, or it will be clearly and officially determined that Sash is our main enemy and all interactions are to be built with the enemy, respectively, to limit both economic and political interaction as much as possible. Otherwise, it turns out to be a one-sided game - you see, Sash officially interferes in the processes in our geopolitical zone, and he interferes openly with hostility, and ours are again bleating about "misunderstanding".

Unfortunately no! There was a fleeting topic about the development of super-powerful ammunition, sort of based on the decay of atomic nuclei, i.e. Nuclear weapons, but!

In short, I still didn’t understand anything, there was no time to read it, and then I just could not find data on this topic. In short, if something like this is being developed or developed, and even unilaterally, then you understand it yourself ... I hope that this is just a glitch and I just misunderstood something. I thought that we were talking about something similar, but, fortunately, I was mistaken

[Igarr]

It's actually the neutron bomb you're writing about, Jin.
and the fact that the article is a check of theoretical developments in nuclear weapons, but without a full-fledged nuclear explosion (with nuclear fission).
It’s easier to say (but not completely true) - a test of a model of a ship in a basin, not a ship in the ocean.
The equipment gives parameters - the theory is further specified - the cycle repeats.
Without explosions, we get a working bomb. With a certain degree of probability.

Yes, not at all. This story with these "under-explosions" has been going on since the days of Bill Clinton. The situation can be described primitively as follows: the American military-political elite has no consensus on the development of nuclear weapons. There are groups that believe that the United States should reduce its arsenals as much as possible, not develop new types of nuclear weapons, etc. Other groups believe that the opposite is true - the arsenals need to be modernized as much as possible, the infrastructure for testing them must be developed and production capacities must be created in order to quickly increase the number of new charges if necessary. And finally, on the third side, it is believed that it is necessary to leave everything as it is and simply maintain the combat readiness of the nuclear weapons units in storage.

[Jin]

Marine one, HM interesting. And what about the correspondence upstream? Where is the truth? And you heard something about what I wrote about?

[Marine One]

Quote: Jin

And what about the correspondence upstream?

As I understand it, this is a kind of "clean weapon". In theory, this is a kind of modernized nuclear warhead that strikes with the proper destructive force, but at the same time, environmental pollution with radioactive materials occurs according to the minimum principle. What we have in reality:

1) Neutron charges (NC). Due to the design features and the principle of operation, these are weapons of mass destruction of a tactical level and low power, rarely above 1 kt. You can't call it a clean weapon either. Yes, in open areas, induced radioactivity does not last long - up to several days. However, in buildings, equipment, etc. radiation sources are formed powerful, stable and long-term. Regarding NS, it is widely believed that after the explosion, only living beings die, and the "iron" remains unharmed. Yeah, schaz. No one canceled the shock wave, and the same kiloton charge within a radius of a kilometer will blow everything to smithereens without disassembling it.

2) "New generation" thermonuclear charges, assuming the absence of explosion products with a long decay period, as well as a small area of ​​radioactive contamination of the area. There are more legends here than verified information. In practice, to create such a bomb, quite roughly speaking, it is necessary to come up with some kind of non-nuclear fuse. That is, the fusion reaction must be initiated by an energy source alternative to the fission reaction. And then - the veil of secrecy and rumors about ongoing developments. In general, the meaning of such bombs is controversial both from the point of view of physics and from a military point of view, especially in the presence of powerful non-nuclear charges and high-precision means of their delivery.

This is understandable, colleague, but in the presence so far, fortunately, of a purely hypothetical "pure nuclear warhead" of the same size and mass as a warhead with "conventional" explosives, striking the factors of the first, surpass those of the second. Under certain conditions, the power can be excessive, which does not diminish, however, the prospect of the selective use of this type of weapons of mass destruction, with all that it implies ...
Best regards

[Bronis]

We also talked about the possibility of conducting such tests on a small earth. http://lenta.ru/articles/2012/10/04/object700/
It seems that carrying out full-fledged nuclear explosions is not so necessary. Both we and they are well aware of the mechanisms and consequences. And it’s not cheap (consequences). And for verification, they write, this is enough. But here also the NPT must take into account the ban on nuclear testing. The given option is a legal loophole.

In 1979, he worked on such an experiment, it was ground-based, after the explosion dismantled the equipment and filled up two underground bunkers, there was no decontamination and cleaning.

A subcritical explosion involves the detonation of explosives around a radioactive material without reaching a critical mass and starting a chain reaction. In the course of the experiment, the behavior of plutonium under conditions of exposure to a large amount of explosives is studied.

Maybe they are investigating a "dirty bomb" - this is when terrorists take possession of radioactive materials and detonate them without a nuclear reaction, but the radiation will spread?

"Dirty Bomb" combines conventional explosives like dynamite and radioactive material like ospent nuclear fuel such as enriched uranium and plutonium. In many cases, conventional explosives would kill more people who were nearby, but the dispersal of radioactive material is an enormous amount of fear.

Moreover, this is on materials whose half-life is too transient. Therefore, to store for a long time does not work ...

Quote: MG42

Can investigate the "dirty bomb"

A "dirty bomb" is usually made of highly radioactive materials, such as spent fuel rods. Strontium, Cesium, Iodine - long-lived isotopes if present - pose a great threat and long-term contamination of the area ...

[MG42]

So, for uranium 238U, the half-life is t 1/2 = 4,5 × 109 years. That is why the activity of uranium has not changed noticeably for several years. For radium 226Ra, the half-life is t 1/2 = 1600 years, therefore, the activity of radium is greater than that of uranium. It is clear that the shorter the half-life, the faster the radioactive decay. For different elements, the half-life can vary from millionths of a second to billions of years.

What a little?

The sample contains 10 g of the Pu-239 plutonium isotope with a half-life of 24 years.

Well

Iodine-131 (iodine-131, 131I), also called a radioiodine (despite the presence of other radioactive isotopes of this element), is a radioactive nuclide of a chemical element of iodine with atomic number 53 and mass number 131. Its half-life is about 8 days

In hydrogen, a firing nuclear charge is used to start a thermonuclear reaction, and plus there is a container with a substance for a thermonuclear reaction (based on deuterium and its compounds).
Here is at least the size of the dimensions of this container thermonuclear bomb and more plutonium.
But hydrogen can be easily made of high power, and plutonium ones have limitations.
Most often, the tests exploded charges of 5-20 kt, but there were also 100 kt underground explosions, this is usually at the Balapan site

What can I say:
Peacekeepers of yours m ......., led by a Nobel laureate !!!!

Shoigu fired Priezheva today! Hooray, comrades!

Dismissal is news from just a series of subcritical explosions with the subsequent release of radioactive isotopes. : But the chain reaction has not been reached.

Well, fired, and then what? Home arrest again? When will the Constitution of the Russian Federation begin to work, namely, Article 19? Some questions, when there will be answers, well, I would really like in this life !!!!!!!!

Or maybe the Pentagon still has its own plans for Iran, than Obama had planned! Yes, and just for intimidation they can explode!

I see, colleague!
I mistakenly understood from your message that you want to say that our BBs are heavier than the adversary. According to my data, there is no difference. Or is she miserable. Or the difference by the margin of safety ... And they in this matter neglect the coefficient. reserves, because of this, their warheads are actually destroyed in flight upon entering the atmosphere. They say, therefore, they make test launches only until the end of the active part of the carrier (before turning off the main engines), and after that they undermine the rocket. The official explanation, the trajectory was determined, the point of impact of the warheads was calculated, it was not for the Russians to see the entire flight path. Type assignment completed successfully ... :)

They would have to "throw" RS36M2 there, for an experiment ... And then see what was left of Nevada.

Let the amers try. And then we will buy all the info through our agents.

According to my data, a caliber of less than 152mm does not work with us (in the USA-155, external D ammunition).

Claim the very, most authenticity of your data?
Source? Pozhalsta - separate tank battalions of the RVGK, on ​​the T-72. Park, technical and storage areas were guarded by units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR. These are signs visible to everyone. Further info - ringing. Even if you have the appropriate sanction, it’s not in the internet to discuss these things.
ps. By the way, the military does not use the "D", but the caliber, the term is used. In our country, this is the distance between opposite fields of the barrel (in rifled barrels), in the western armies - between opposite rifling. So it turns out like a difference in numbers.

[Nechai]

ps. Yes there is not in the calibers of the actual problem. On the one hand, it is necessary not to exceed safe initial acceleration, and on the other hand, an appropriate initial speed is needed. It’s better to naughty in the distance. Well, at least for the range of safe removal.
If it weren’t for the catastrophe, then the Motherland equipped its warriors with 100mm unitary special b / supplies.
