Finn (Readers favorite) JCS-NSC Joint Meeting, Situation Room, October 16, Caleb continues his criticism of SIOP-62 "On March 1, 1954, off Namu Island in Bikini Atoll, we conducted a thermonuclear test called Castle Bravo, " Caleb began. "We exploded a 15-megaton surface burst bomb called the Shrimp. The resulting fireball was approximately 4.5 miles in diameter. It created a crater more than 6, 500 feet in diameter and 250 feet deep. The mushroom cloud reached 47, 000 feet with a diameter of 7 miles all in one minute. Nine minutes later, the cloud was 130, 000 feet and 62 miles in diameter. It expanded at more than 100 meters per second. The blast-just a single nuclear weapon, mind you contaminated more than 7, 000 square miles of the surrounding Pacific Ocean. Measurable fallout was detected in such faraway places as the Southwestern United States and Australia. Crew members on the Daigo Fukuryu Maru, a fishing vessel sailing approximately 200 miles east of the explosion, experienced severe radiation sickness. Some died. Look at what a 15-kiloton bomb did to Hiroshima, killing over 60 percent of its 250, 000 residents. Yet SIOP-62 proposes 240 kilotons for all Soviet cities of a similar size and a total of more than 7, 000 megatons for all targets. This is massive overkill and will destroy the entire Earth's atmosphere." Book III will take you to a post-nuclear war world where life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and mercifully short.
