"History of 10,000 ton gadget":
Critical explanation and analysis
 "Destruction of a military target by a nuclear
fission weapon is comprehended mainly by the effects of a powerful blast wave
in air but the more distant military consequences of a nuclear explosion can
be significantly augmented by the thermal (heat) radiations emitted by the
fireball that emerges from the isothermal sphere. Furthermore, accurate
anticipation of the thermal characteristics and physical behavior of an
isothermal sphere as it endures and rises above a nuclear explosion can be
useful as a basis to predict the military and environmental effects of
radioactive fallout since most of the dangerous fission byproducts of an
atomic bomb detonation are concentrated in the isothermal sphere."
