Hey, which one of our nukes did this?
Nuclear-weapons scientists have analyzed post-explosion debris for decades, but usually with an eye toward evaluating the effectiveness of the weapons they’ve built, or in the case of above-ground tests by another country, to determine what the explosive yield was, Dr. Fahey says. Such has been the case with trinitite.
But in speaking with weapons scientists, he says he learned that “they never bothered to ask the question: If I didn’t know what happened, how could I figure it out?” he says.
