:
: "Neutron bomb" is the colloquial term for what in treaty-ese is called
: an 'enhanced radiation warhead'. Basically, it's a fission bomb (basic
: atom bomb), made in such a fashion as to make a small bang and a lot
of
: gamma and x-ray radiation. They were designed to be very small, enough
: so as to be useful as artillery shells, and they were supposed to be
: used on enemy tanks - the armor would not stop the radiation,, and
thus
: the crew would die, leaving a useless tank. Using them in cities and
: such is not a good idea - concrete and other building materials would
: soak up the gamma rays, and become radioactive themselves. As far as I
: know, no large amounts of these were ever produced, because they were
: banned by treaty very soon after the idea was first fielded.
:
: If I remember the EVA story correctly, an N2 bomb would have the exact
: opposite effect of a neutron bomb - big bang, no radiation. One way of
: doing this, possibly, would be by making a fusion bomb that doesn't
use
: a fission reaction to start. (normally, the only way to start a fusion
: reaction is to start with a fission, because of the extreme
requirements
: for fusion to start). Fusion reactions are a lot cleaner than fission,
: mostly because the by-products of both successful and unsuccessful
: fission are both toxic and radioactive, while fusion by-products are
: among the most commonly occuring elements, and very few of them have
: large enough nuclei to emmit radiation.
:
: If anyone knows in their hearts that this is dead wrong, feel free to
: correct me, it's been a while since I studied the matter...

Maybe they are "cold fusion". Eva is in the future, so perhaps by then
cold fusion will be possible.
