NO DATES GIVEN |
| No date has been given for the subsequent explosions nor has Indication been given of the nature of the weapons to be exploded. But there is no doubt that those which are not purely experimental devices will be bombs designed for V-class bombers to release In course of complicated aerobatics intended to increase the " getaway" time before the weapons explode. | |
| There is good reason to believe that such weapons will be of the "dirty" variety. That is to say, the amount of radioactive fission products will be directly related to the energy' released of the bomb. | |
| In this respect, Britain is a good way behind the Americans. They have already progressed a long way towards the development of "clean" weapons in this energy range. | |
| They have done this by reducing the amount of he bomb's explosive force derived from splitting heavy atoms and increasing the proportion derived from fusing lighter atoms. It is the heavy atoms that produce contamination. |
