But because of its low-yield blast and heat effect, it would spare all buildings beyond a 140-yd. radius of ground zero. Moreover, the radiation dissipates quickly, and would not affect an area beyond a radius of 1% miles. More than other nukes, the bomb is thus very much a precision weapon, designed for battlefields of limited size...
