Mid-morning. You did some chores – swept the
back deck and attached the outdoor thermometer to the vertical board frame on
the gutter in the shade below the roof of the porch so it can be easily seen
from the front door window. Joe and Jason have not yet arrived. You thought
they would be early Carol did not. – Amorella
0935
hours. The weather is a cool sixty-degree and it is quite damp. Supposedly we
will have more rain today, my arthritis says that personally this is not good
news. I would just as soon be taking a nap right about now. This morning I
awoke thinking about my Uncle Jay Schick and Uncle Dee Schick both older brothers
of my mother and Aunt Ruthie who will be 88 this Halloween. Two more people I
very early named with letters J and D. In those days the family was still
around Westerville. Uncle Jay moved to Abilene, Texas to work his
father-in-law’s oil wells. Uncle Jay eventually moved to California and made a
success business of selling high-end home appliances. Their real first names
were James and Eugene. Another brother was Curtis. I didn’t see him so often as
he lived in Toledo. Eventually, I called him Uncle Curtie so once I was in
first grade I used real names for people not letters. The letter business must
have bothered me during sleep as I remembered it first thing. I don’t like
being reminded of my ignorance as to how the world works early on. I tended on
listening to myself rather than other people’s explanations as to how things
are like they are. Grandma Schick always had this saying on the wall about
“having the wisdom to know the difference” – I forget the rest of it. And,
about “feeling bad for not having shoes until I meet a man who has no feet.” I
forget the rest of that too. Somewhere around four or five I liked Grandma
Schick for having words on the wall as well as pictures. Obviously, I am
abnormally attached to them. This is not going to change in my 74th year. (1000)
Joe is not coming until about three for
about an hour. Carol is working on the checkbooks. Eventually you are out to
lunch. – Amorella
1227
hours. We spent over an hour watching MSNBC on the train accident at the
Hoboken Terminal.
Mid-afternoon. Joe and Jason just left and
have most work done. They installed a cement board on top of the three/quarter
plywood base that the granite will sit on surrounding the tub and on the
connected seat in the shower. Monday, Nick (granite), Joe and Jason will be
here working. Nick will install all the granite, bath, vanity and shower. Joe
and Jason will finish up the floor base under the bath so the cement can be
poured under the tub base for added stability for the tub. – Amorella
1541
hours. The master bath is coming along well. I like their construction methods –
it is a little more money overall but Kessler is known for his upscale upgrades
in southwest Ohio. Ours is not that upscale (some people spend a hundred
thousand dollars on an upgraded master bath). We are well below half of that. Why
I ever thought this could be done in two weeks is beyond me. This project is
getting more exciting now that we can see the progress. Carol is on the phone
with Kim and all sounds well. Kim is working fifteen hours a week as a
consultant with Team Telos now rather than ten and she loves it.
Late afternoon. You had a revelation last
night before sleep that ‘angel or alien’ constructions have long been a
personal focus to help humanity survive better on planet Earth because you do
not have the confidence in human nature itself. The reasons are for the same
for many people your age – nuclear and biological weaponry.

It is believed that the largest nuclear weapons currently
deployed are a 5 Megaton (MT) Chinese warhead on Dong Feng (East Wind) 5 (DF-5)
missiles and a Russian 5MT warhead on the UR-100N (NATO reporting name SS-19
Stiletto) missiles. The Chinese may have already replaced the single warhead
with three Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs) each with a 300
Kiloton (KT) warhead. The Russians are expected to do the same upgrading to
MIRVs with 400 KT warheads. This would leave the Chinese with the largest
deployed warhead of 3.3 MT on the DF-4 missiles.
The destructive potential of these weapons can be estimated from
empirical equations found on the site “Nuclear Weapons Frequently Asked
Questions” (author: Carey Sublette) (Nuclear Weapons
Frequently Asked Questions) (see
Section 5).
The empirical equations estimate the potential destructiveness
of a nuclear weapon based on its yield equivalent of TNT. They give a radius of
lethality for prompt ionizing radiation (not “fallout”), thermal pulse, and
blast. For radiation this lethal unshielded threshold is 500 rem. For the
thermal pulse, the lethal unshielded threshold is assumed to be 8 cal/cm^2
which would result in 3rd degree burns. For the blast effect, the equation
yields the radius of a 4.6 psi overpressure assuming the weapon is detonated at
an optimum height.
For a 5MT weapon these radii are:
Rradiation = 4.2 km
Rthermal = 22.6 km
Rblast = 12.3 km

Little Boy, the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima was equivalent to
15,000 tons of TNT. The bomb detonated at 580 meters above the
city. Buildings were structurally damaged in a 1 mile radius. As
many as 150, 000 people died as a direct and indirect result of the bomb.
The Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear device ever detonated, is
the equivalent of 50,000,000 tons of TNT. This is 3333.33 times more
powerful than Little Boy. If this bomb were dropped on a city the size of
New York or London, The damage would extend well over several
hundred miles, and the death toll could easily be in the tens of millions,
depending on location, wind direction and height of detonation.
One other factor is a massive electro magnetic pulse (EMP) that
would wipe out communications and transportation for many thousands of square
miles, extending the damage much farther.

Explosive power of a nuclear weapon is usually expressed in
kiloton (kt) or Megaton (Mt) TNT equivalent. The first nuclear weapon used
during the Trinity Test (16 July 1945) had a yield of 19 kt. The Mk-I Little
Boy on Hiroshima had yield of 12.5 kt and the Mk-IIIA Fat Man used on
Nagasaki 25 kt.
The largest weapon ever created was the Soviet RDS-220 Vanya
with a yield of 50 Mt which is 4,000 times the energy of the Mk-I Little Boy.
To have an idea of the blast radius and damage caused, I suggest
you check out NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein: NUKEMAP
The RDS-220 Vanya used in the test was a scaled down ver
sion of a 100 Mt weapon, the Soviets scaled it down to allow the
bomber to escape (Tu-95V); the bomber escape only narrowly. The fireball had a
diameter of some 9 km and most structures within a 20 km radius would have been
levelled (there weren’t actually that many structures around, the test took
place on Novaya Zemblya).
These days most weapon yields have been optimized and are
roughly around 500 kt. In the 1960s the warhead all had large yields 2–5 Mt on
average, to compensate for lack of accuracy. This was vital when destroying
hard targets such as underground bunkers, missile siles, airfields carved out
of mountains, naval bases carved out of cliffs, etc. As the accuracy improved,
the yields diminished. A 500 kt warhead has a good kill percentage against a
hard target and multiple warheads can be used for saturation bombing of urban-industrial
targets. A simple example: If you wan to totally destroy New York City you need
40 x 500 kt weapons (total yield 20 Mt) or 7 x 20 Mt weapons (total yield 140
Mt) … the destruction would be the same. So smaller warheads are more economic
than larger ones.
The largest yield in the US inventory is the B83Y2 Mod.0 at 2 Mt
but this weapon is no longer deployed, it is in storage. The largest yield in
the British arsenal as a Trident II warhead at 100 kt (there are also two
smaller yield Trident II warheads for tactical use). The largest French
warheads are the TN-81 and TNA both at 300 kt for use with the ASMP cruise
missile. China fields a 4.5 Mt warhead on the DF-5A. Russia still deploys some
R-36M2 (15A18M2) Voyevoda ICBMs with the 15F175 20 Mt warhead. India’s largest
warhead has a 250 kt yield for use on the Agni-III/IV. Pakistani warheads have
a top yield of 150 kt and those of Israel 100 kt. North Korea’s largest weapon
is estimated at 10 kt.
Now it is important to point out miniaturizing a weapon is more
difficult than making a big large yield one. What countries want are optimal
yields (they vary for the purpose they are intended for) with as low a mass as
possible to make delivery easier: that’s the big challenge.

[This is in
reference to a small nuclear war between only India and Pakistan.]
You had plenty of very useful answers with minute details that I
read and learnt from as well.
You asked about the most powerful nuclear explosion, here is
what will happen if there was ever a regional nuclear exchange between India
and Pakistan on a much smaller scale. You can extrapolate the following
scenario and take it from there. I thought the following would shed some light
on the devastation that some think will only be limited to the subcontinent.
Here is the result of studies done at three American
Universities. The link follows the main points.
•
If the war
is fought with 100 Hiroshima-size weapons (currently available in
India-Pakistan arsenals), which have half of 1 percent (0.05%) of the total
explosive power of all currently operational and deployed U.S.-Russian nuclear
weapons
•
•
20 million
people will die from the direct effects of the weapons, which is equal to nearly half the number of
people killed during World War II
•
•
Weapons
detonated in the largest cities of India and Pakistan will create massive
firestorms which will produce millions of tons of smoke
•
•
1 to 5
million tons of smoke will quickly rise 50 km above cloud level into the
stratosphere
•
•
The smoke
will spread around the world, forming a stratospheric smoke layer that will block
sunlight from reaching the surface of Earth
•
•
Within 10
days following the explosions, temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere would
become colder than those experienced during the pre-industrial Little Ice Age
•
•
These
nuclear war-induced effects on temperature would be twice as largeas
those which followed the largest volcanic eruption in the last 500 years, in
1816, which caused “The Year Without Summer”
•
Year Without a Summer
•
This cold
weather would also cause a 10% decline in average global rain fall and
a large reduction in the Asian summer monsoon.
•
•
25-40% of
the protective ozone layer would be destroyed at the mid-latitudes, and 50-70%
would be destroyed at northern high latitudes.Massive increases of harmful UV light would result, with
significantlynegative effects on human, animal and plant life.
•
•
These
changes in global climate would cause significantly shortenedgrowing seasons
in the Northern Hemisphere for at least years. It would be too cold to
grow wheat in most of Canada.
•
•
World
grain stocks, which already
are at historically low levels, would becompletely depleted. Grain
exporting nations would likely cease exports in order to meet their own food
needs.
•
•
Some
medical experts predict that ensuing food shortages would cause hundreds of
millions of already hungry people, who now depend upon food imports, to starve
to death during the years following the nuclear conflict.
•
Here is the link to some global maps in the above study
Five Millions
Tons of Smoke in the Stratosphere
In short, the humanity will soon cease to exist. I can't even
imagine what will happen to the planet after the explosion of the most powerful
nuclear weapon.

add it tonight. What bothers me the most about the above is the fall out from
even a small nuclear war.
This shows your passion for your species’

FACT SHEETS
& BRIEFS
Updated: February 2014
The danger posed by Biological Weapons (BW) and
Chemical Weapons (CW) still lingers two decades after the cold war’s end.
Despite the reduction of threats as an increasing number of states fulfill
their commitments under international conventions, a small number of states
still maintain declared and undeclared stockpiles and even active BW and CW
programs. A bio-technology revolution is making bio-technology more readily
available and presents a potential future proliferation risk. Dual-use chemical
processes also present a series of ongoing challenges. Progress has certainly
been made by Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) state-parties and the
Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in the destruction
of declared CW stockpiles. However, progress on the implementation of the
Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) has been slower due to the lack of a
formal verification mechanism.
The chart below details countries possessing or
developing CW or BW. It draws on open source intelligence including
unclassified government assessments. Taking into account the clandestine
and controversial nature of these programs, state capabilities are considered
under four headings: State declarations detail the state’s official position on
the weapons in question and whether they have declared stockpiles or programs.
Allegations look at allegations made by other states, namely the U.S. as to
what the status of programs and stockpiles are. Potential delivery systems
consider the means that suspected possessors have of delivering such weapons.
Any other information is also included which may be of relevance to a state’s
capabilities.
The
chart also details whether each state has signed, ratified, or acceded to
relevant international treaties: the 1972 BWC, which bans offensive biological
weapons development and possession; the 1993 CWC, which outlaws chemical
weapons development, possession, and use; and the 1925 Geneva Protocol, which
forbids the use of chemical and biological weapons in war.

Reaching Critical Will
Biological weapons
What are biological weapons?
Biological warfare is the deliberate spreading of disease
amongst humans, animals, and plants. Biological weapons (BW) introduce a
bacteria or virus into an environment for hostile purposes, that is not
prepared to defend itself from the intruder. As a result, this agent can become
very effective at killing plants, livestock, pets, and humans. There are a huge
variety of genetically or traditionally modified bacterias and viruses to
withstand antibiotics, that could be used as biological weapons, but some of
the most common types today are bacteria, rickettsiae, viruses, toxins, and
fungi.
Deadly and Cheap
When compared to the cost of a nuclear weapons program,
biological weapons are extremely cheap. It is estimated that 1 gram of toxin could
kill 10 million people. A purified form of botulinum toxin is approximately 3
million times more potent than Sarin, a chemical nerve agent. As a comparison,
a SCUD missile filled with botulinum toxin could affect an area of 3700 sq.km,
an area 16 times greater than could be affected with Sarin.
It is important to note that while it is relatively cheap to
produce the biological weapons agents in large quantities, sophisticated
weapons are slightly more difficult to develop and produce. For example, when a
missile is flying it gets very hot, biological agents are killed. Therefore,
the missile has to be fitted with a cooling system. In addition, storing
biological weapons agents requires much effort, due to the quick decay of many
of these sorts of agents. However, as far as weapons of mass destruction are
concerned, biological weapons are relatively cheap to develop and produce. In
one analysis, the comparative cost of civilian (unprotected) casualties is
"$2,000 per square kilometer with conventional weapons, $800 with nuclear
weapons, $600 with nerve-gas weapons, and $1 with biological weapons." Not
surprisingly, biological weapons have long since become known as the poor man's
atom bomb.
Any nation with a reasonably advanced pharmaceutical and medical
industry has the capability of mass producing biological weapons. This fact
also leads to problems with determining what countries have programs. Anything
from a piece of fruit to a ballistic missile could be used to deliver a
biological weapon to a target. Along with this is the fact that with certain
organisms, only a few particles would be needed to start an infection that
could potentially cause an epidemic.
Conventional weapons explode once and are finished. With a few
particles of Hanta virus many thousands of people could become carriers that
infect thousands more people.
A seed culture of anthrax bacteria could be grown to mass
quantities in around 96 hours. The level of technology needed to do this kind
of work is also much lower when compared to Nuclear weapons. Most of the
techniques used can be found in textbooks and journals available worldwide. The
information is not considered "hot" like certain kinds of nuclear
information. The techniques are taught in undergraduate courses in Colleges and
Universities worldwide.
When have biological weapons been used - a short history
The first recorded use of biological agents is the Romans using
dead animals to foul the enemies water supply. This had the dual effects of
decreasing enemy numbers and lowering morale.
1346-1347 - Mongols catapult corpses contaminated with
plague over the walls into Kaffa (in Crimea), forcing besieged Genoans to flee.
Some historians believe that this event was the cause of the epidemic of plague
that swept across medieval Europe killing 25 million.
1710 - Russian troops allegedly use plague-infected corpses
against Swedes
1767 - During the French and Indian Wars, the British give
blankets used to wrap British smallpox victims to hostile Indian tribes.
1916-1918 - German agents use anthrax and the equine
disease glanders to infect livestock and feed for export to Allied forces.
Incidents include the infection of Romanian sheep with anthrax and glanders for
export to Russia, Argentinian mules with anthrax for export to Allied troops,
and American horses and feed with glanders for export to France 1937 - Japan
begins its offensive biological weapons program. Unit 731, the BW research and
development unit, is located in Harbin, Manchuria. Over the course of the
program, at least 10,000 prisoners are killed in Japanese experiments.
1939 - Nomonhan Incident - Japanese poison Soviet water
supply with intestinal typhoid bacteria at former Mongolian border. First use
of biological weapons by Japanese.
1937 - Japan begins its offensive biological weapons program.
Unit 731, the BW research and development unit, is located in Harbin,
Manchuria. Over the course of the program, at least 10,000 prisoners are killed
in Japanese experiments.
1940 - The Japanese drop rice and wheat mixed with
plague-carrying fleas over China and Manchuria
1942 - U.S. begins its offensive biological weapons program
and chooses Camp Detrick, Frederick, Maryland as its research and development
site.
1945 - Only known tactical use of BW by Germany. A large
reservoir in Bohemia is poisoned with sewage.
1951 - In a test of BW dispersal methods, biological simulants
are sprayed over San Francisco.
1966 - The United States conducts a test of vulnerability
to covert BW attack by releasing a harmless biological simulant into the New
York City subway system.
1969 - President Nixon announces unilateral dismantlement
of the U.S. offensive BW program.
1970 - President Nixon extends the dismantlement efforts to
toxins, closing a loophole which might have allowed for their production.
1978 - In a case of Soviet state-sponsored assassination,
Bulgarian exile Georgi Markov, living in London, is stabbed with an umbrella
that injects him with a tiny pellet containing ricin (a highly toxic, natural
protein).
1979 - Outbreak of pulmonary anthrax in Sverdlovsk, Soviet
Union.
1992- Russian president Boris Yeltsin acknowledges that the
outbreak was caused by an accidental relase of anthrax spores from a Soviet
military microbiological facility.
1985-1991 - Iraq develops an offensive biological weapons
capability including anthrax, botulium toxin, and aflatoxin.
How can biological weapons be defended against?
Biological defense may be divided into the following categories:
prevention, protection, detection, treatment, and decontamination.
Prevention may take
several forms. In the case of biological warfare, international disarmament and
inspection regimes may deter production and dissemination of biological warfare
agents. Intelligence assets may indicate potential threats and allow for
preventative action to be undertaken.
Protection against
biological warfare agents is limited. Protective suits, clothing, gas masks and
filters may provide limited protection for short periods of time. However, the
persistence of biological agents such as anthrax makes such protections mainly
useful for military personnel and first responders. Anthrax can remain active
and potentially lethal for at least 40 years. (source: Biological Warfare: A
Historical Perspective) It should be noted that anthrax is an exception, as
most other agents do not live that long. Protection (as detection and
treatment) of Biological Warfare is the establishment and maintenance of a good
health care system. In addition, vaccination is a form of protection, which may
provide substantial protection against naturally occurring agents, although
vaccines often provide limited or no protection against genetically engineered
variants designed to defeat such vaccines.
Detection. During the
Gulf War, US and allied forces suffered from a lack of reliable biological
agent detection systems. Subsequently, a number of detection systems have been
developed. Often it takes from a few hours to a few days to detect exposure to
a biological weapon. However, advances in biotechnology will help develop
improved and quicker detectors. Current detectors include: SMART (Sensitive
Membrane Antigen Rapid Test) JBPDS (Joint Biological Point Detection System)
BIDS (Biological Integrated Detection System) IBAD (Interim Biological Agent
Detector) (source: Biological Warfare and Detection Capabilities) Treatment
options after infection depend on whether or not the infectious agent is
identified. If not identified, massive doses of antibiotics may be given in
hopes that something may work. Again, treatment of victims of biological
warfare largely depends on the establishment and maintenance of a good health
care system.
Decontamination. Unlike chemical weapons, which disperse over time, biological
agents may grow and multiply over time. Anthrax can remain active in the soil
for at least 40 years and is highly resistant to eradication. (Source:
Biological Warfare: A Historical Perspective) However, the anthrax contaminated
Gruinard Island in the UK was decontaminated - decontamination is possible,
using chemicals, heat or UV rays.
Efforts to ban biological weapons
Using biological and chemical weapons was condemned by
international declarations and treaties, notably by the 1907 Hague Convention
(IV) respecting the laws and customs of war on land. Efforts to strengthen this
prohibition resulted in the conclusion, in 1925, of the Geneva Protocol, which
banned the use of asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, usually referred to
as chemical weapons, as well as the use of bacteriological methods of warfare.
The latter are now understood to include not only bacteria, but also other
biological agents, such as viruses or rickettsiae which were unknown at the
time the Geneva Protocol
was signed. However, the Geneva Protocol did not prohibit the development,
production and stockpiling of chemical and biological weapons. Attempts to
achieve a complete ban were made in the 1930s in the framework of the League of
Nations, but with no success.
The prohibition of chemical and biological weapons appeared on
the agenda of the Eighteen-Nation Committee on Disarmament in Geneva (now
called the Conference on
Disarmament) in 1968. One year later, the United Nations published
an influential report on the problems of chemical and biological warfare, and
the question received special attention at the UN General Assembly. The UN
report concluded that certain chemical and biological weapons cannot be
confined in their effects in space and time and might have grave and
irreversible consequences for humans and nature. This would apply to both the
attacking and the attacked nations. Due to interest in the topic in the end of
the 1960s, the Biological Weapons and Toxin Convention was signed in 1972 and
entered into force in 1975.
The Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention
The Biological and
Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) entered into force in March 1975
after 22 governments had ratified, and was the first multilateral disarmament
treaty banning an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. The
Convention, about four pages long, bans the development, production
stockpiling, or acquisition of biological agents or toxins of any type or
quantity that do not have protective, medical, or other peaceful purposes, or
any weapons or means of delivery for such agents or toxins. Under the treaty,
all such materiel is to be destroyed within nine months of the treaty's entry
into force. The BTWC currently has 163 states parties and 110 signatories.
Since the entry of the Convention, seven review conferences have taken place.
On the Seventh Review Conference in December
2011, 103 states parties to the Convention participated in the conference.

Biological
warfare (BW)—also known as germ warfare—is the
use of biological
toxins or infectious
agents such as bacteria,
viruses, and fungi with the intent to
kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war. Biological weapons (often
termed "bio-weapons", "biological threat agents", or
"bio-agents") are living organisms or replicating
entities (viruses, which are
not universally considered "alive") that reproduce or replicate
within their host
victims. Entomological
(insect) warfare is also considered a type of biological weapon.
This type of warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare and chemical warfare, which
together with biological warfare make up NBC, the military acronym for nuclear,
biological, and chemical warfare using weapons of mass
destruction (WMDs). None of these are conventional
weapons, which are primarily due to their explosive, kinetic, or incendiary potential.
Biological
weapons may be employed in various ways to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over
the enemy, either by threats or by actual deployments. Like some of the chemical weapons,
biological weapons may also be useful as area denial
weapons. These agents may be lethal or non-lethal, and may be
targeted against a single individual, a group of people, or even an entire
population. They may be developed, acquired, stockpiled or deployed by nation states or by
non-national groups. In the latter case, or if a nation-state uses it clandestinely,
it may also be considered bioterrorism.
There is an overlap between biological warfare and
chemical warfare, as the use of toxins
produced by living organisms is considered under the provisions of both the Biological
Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons
Convention. Toxins and psychochemical
weapons are often referred to as midspectrum agents. Unlike
bioweapons, these midspectrum agents do not reproduce in their host and are
typically characterized by shorter incubation periods.
