Over the last year or so I have been tracking down images mostly related to the US nuclear weapons program. Most of these were images people had never seen before, depicting nuclear weapons rarely see by members of the general public. Other images have had to do with nuclear weapons testing, showing

This document is unusual in that it describes the yield of the W54 warhead as being 0.02 kilotonnes of TNT (0.084 TJ) and that the weapon contained 26 pounds (12 kg) of HE. I believe this document was mistakenly declassified as the declassification of weapon yield is normally made with a

I have also been uploading images found by others here onto
Knowledge. I feel I must clearly delineate which images I found and which come from other nuclear weapons researchers. For this purpose, images extracted from reports by others are "found" by others. Some of the better ones come from

My primary interests on
Knowledge are in the areas of nuclear weapons, their associated systems, and nuclear warfare tactics and theory. I also occasionally spend time editing other topics like civilian nuclear energy, small arms, non-nuclear weapon systems, and history topics.

I have obtained a number of documents from different places that aren't found elsewhere, so I put them on

By "found" I mean the images were buried in technical reports or where listed on various internet archives where they were forgotten about.
