Operation Tumbler-Snapper, 1 ms after detonation

Harold Eugene Edgerton, a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and native of a 4,000-people town named Aurora, created the rapatronic camera for the government to take pictures of nuclear explosions while testing them was still legal. He also pioneered strobe photography. The rapatronic has an exposure time of ten nanoseconds.
These are fission bombs. They destroy cities and inhabitants by the shockwave and the heat initially, burning everything in sight, unless the unfortunates are close enough for instantaneous death by radiation. Otherwise radiation fall-out kills the homeless survivors. A neutron bomb, by contrast, was originally designed to leave infrastructure in tact by carrying much smaller yields. Neutrons, here, are the primary means of killing, and neutrons destroy living cells but not dead concrete. They seep through tanks. They empty a city but leave the buildings up. "One significant drawback" of the neutron bomb is that it may not kill all it targets. Some will recover after a spat of nausea and enter the walking ghost phase, which means they will seem fine for hours, days, weeks, before dropping into a coma, delirium, and certain painful death.
My professor describes the '50s news reels informing the public of the bombs they were working on before the feature presentation at the cinema as thus: "look what an awesome weapon we have!... but don't worry, we're protecting you from it."
"While it is an irrefutable fact that nerds are closet militarists who worship violence as a means to wreak havoc on a world that has left them in the dust of their own failure... they are also the world’s most loyal fetishists of the male form. Nerds may “choose” to dress poorly and shun exercise on principle, but deep in the recesses of their conniving minds, they lust for the physical perfection of masculinity with near fanatical devotion." - ruthlessreviews
