    Amazing Historical Nuclear Weapons Photograph!
    Operation Teapot, WASP. March 29, 1955  Nevada Test Site
    This B-36 airdrop was a LASL air defense oriented weapons effects test, using the Ranger Able uranium core in a new compact, light weight implosion system. The implosion system was a sphere 22 inches in diameter but only weighed 120 lbs. It was dropped in a Mk-12 bomb case. This was the fifth time the Ranger Able core design had been used in a test. This test evaluated the effects of low altitude detonations. The total device weight was 1500 lb. Although the bomb was much heavier, the implosion system was the lightest nuclear explosive system fired up until this time (broken the following year during Operation Redwing).
