Subject: Nuclear Artillery Shells
slowball    9/19/2004 4:22:13 AM
I'm hoping someone can help out on a topic that does not receive a lot of coverage.... Would using nuclear artillery shells in combat pose a radiation danger to the crews firing them? Were they to be employed by firing a few shells at advancing enemy forces followed by a quick retreat, or were the batteries expected to remain in the area? Thanks in advance for your comments.

The old W-48, 155mm had a yield of 70-100 tons. The only test shot produced a 73 ton blast. They expected up to 300 tons. Ret 13F- you ain't joking. The day that I no longer had to worry about NTPI NWAIs and some of the other things was a happy day.
