Re: Weapon Efficency

[Kim Merritt <merritt9@llnl.gov>]

I believe it would vary weapon to weapon.  I also some of the weapons
had/have the ability to dial-a-yield where you can vary the boosting.  If
you ever geta chance stop by the the National Atomic Museum in Albuquerque,
they have a lot of information there about various weapons systems and the
history of the Manhattan project.  They also have some infamous relics
there such as the casings from the actual weapons involved in the Palomares
incident.
