...kill people without destroying buildings. According to proponents, the bomb could break up a Soviet tank attack without destroying buildings outside the battle zone.

If built, the neutron bomb would replace many of NATO's 7,000 tactical nuclear warheads, which generally range in size from 10 to 50 kilotons, and are stored mostly in West Germany, the front line of the West's defense. Total estimated cost...
...construction details of the "neut" remain a guarded secret, but the principles are well known to physicists. Neutron bombs are essentially small thermonuclear devices, or H-bombs, the explosive equivalent of about 1,000 tons of TNT. Unlike the earliest A-bombs, which involved the fission-or splitting-of such radioactive materials as uranium and plutonium, H-bombs work by fusing isotopes of the simplest and lightest element, hydrogen, into slightly heavier atoms of helium, although they still require a small fission "trigger" to reach the sunlike temperatures (tens of millions of degrees) required for fusion...
