Question from an ignorant person about Mt.St. Helens

In article , (RENABORNEY) wrote: Actually, it was not poorly designed at all, the first series of US thermonuclear devices workked "too well" producing unexpectedly high yields Ivy Mike as a test of principles: the actual yield was above predictions, but those predictions were pretty vague, because there were new ideas and a lot of new technology all being tried out together. One suspects that they erred on the side of being sure it would go off. In the context of an explosive device that was used to put several tons of calcium carbonate into the atmosphere, it was a badly placed and designed device. How could it be otherwise even had the powers that be intended to vapourise the island, they would not know how to design it to make the most of its abilities. It was one of the first ones after all. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
