Yesterday, I blogged about an old British Cold War idea for a nuclear land mine that was designed but never built. The Soviet Union also had some interesting designs for Cold War nuclear weapons. In the 1950s before the development of the “mutually assured destruction” doctrine, it was considered reasonable to talk about tactical nuclear weapons for battlefield use.

When we talk about nuclear weapons, we usually mean nuclear missiles and bombs delivering megatons of destruction from half way across the globe. While these have been a great threat for decades, there are also tactical nuclear weapons with low yields that are meant to be used on battlefields against troops and armor instead of cities full of civilians.
Ambient office = 105 nanosieverts per hour

Soil exposed to rain water = 67 nanosieverts per hour
