Is The Neutron Bomb Comingkommt Die Neutronenbombe PDF Download

The neutron bomb is the latest development in the apparently never ending search for new weapons, especially nuclear weapons, that can be used for highly specific purposes. Its official name is Enhanced Radiation Warhead (ERW). It was guarded as a secret for years and was disguised as a research and development project in ERDA (Energy Research and Development Administration). Its uncovering by reporters last summer stimulated a heated controversy which continues unabated. In the event of war, the neutron bomb's task is to kill more people with a single warhead than with a conventional nuclear weapon. At the same time, the damage to buildings, agriculture and materiel is to be reduced to a minimum. At present, the military seems to be seriously thinking about the use of tactical atomic weapons as a means of waging war. These thoughts and the well-known horrible biological effects of neutron radiation have roused resistance from many quarters.
