Before Deng launched his four modernizations, China had acquired global military reach by testing its first intercontinental ballistic missile, the DF 5, with a range of 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles), and developing a thermonuclear warhead.

Ninetytwo hundred thermonuclear reactors in tandem.

While slowly retiring multiple warhead land based nuclear missiles, it was building up single warhead missiles.

I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this.

The threat of global thermonuclear war has been reduced.

It was Mike, the first thermonuclear bomb, in 1952.

I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this. (Laughter)

Warhead designs after 1960 took on the character of model changes, with every new missile getting a new warhead for marketing reasons.

The Russian Federation was developing a new manoeuvrable warhead capable of avoiding missile defences and continued to manufacture single warhead silo launched missiles, with the deployment of a road mobile multiple warhead variant scheduled for 2006.

No advanced nuclear explosives, such as thermonuclear explosives, were manufactured

It's a heavy element produced in thermonuclear explosions of supernovae.

Yippee kai yo, kai yay! Get off the nuclear warhead.

In the core, we have thermonuclear reactions going on, creating chemical elements.

Later in 1998, other missile warhead fragments were sampled in Iraq.

The small warhead is taking one cascade, and spinning up the rotors and slowing them down, and the big warhead is talking to six cascades and manipulating valves.

(a) Authentication of warheads and components to establish that an item declared to be a nuclear warhead or a component from a nuclear warhead is consistent with those declarations

(The W87 warhead drawing in the W87 article shows the usual arrangement.

So, that was the result. It was Mike, the first thermonuclear bomb, in 1952.

Each stage in a warhead production process has its particular effluents and signatures.

This film shows the testing of a new explosive fill on a warhead.

Using a verification system employing a combination of non destructive assay sensors measuring many warhead attributes or templates,7 it has proved possible to discriminate between different types of warhead or component.

Work on dismantlement involved consideration of the processes associated with dismantling any particular warhead, recognizing that many of these could be specific to the warhead, although some were likely to be generic.

Interstage In a two stage thermonuclear weapon the energy from the primary impacts the secondary.

So we were able to associate the small digital warhead with the rotor control.

So we're going to have to go all out thermonuclear response, stimulate the total cytokine cascade.

The sequence starts with an image of planet Earth completely wiped out by a thermonuclear war...

They took out the warhead and put in a radio transmitter that went beep, beep.

The warhead was armed by withdrawing the wire onto a spool driven by an electric motor.

The hardest part still lies ahead the miniaturization needed to fit a nuclear device into a warhead.

If the warhead remains largely intact on impact then it will represent a real hazard to civilians.

We are looking forward to joining the International Thermonuclear Energy Reactor project involving nuclear fusion, as a full partner.

Over the half century of the existence of the testing site, over 450 atomic and thermonuclear explosions were conducted.

Verification evidence can be accumulated from measurements of these materials, supported by measurement of other (potentially warhead related) emissions.

In these launching silos there were 104 intercontinental ballistic missiles, each of which was equipped with a nuclear warhead.

The big digital warhead we had a shot at this by looking very closely at data and data structures.

It is the design of choice for the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, China, and France, the five thermonuclear powers.

It was even thought at one point or another that the world had come close to the brink of thermonuclear confrontation.

Degradation products of VX were found on missile warhead fragments by one national laboratory. Iraq, however, disputed these analytical results.

As well as a nuclear warhead of around 300 kt, it is thought that high explosive and submunition warheads are available.

The technologies employed in the production of a nuclear warhead are fundamentally the same as those found in many industrial environments.

If a guided missile crashes prior to arming, then the warhead may or may not experience an energetic reaction on impact.

Length was usually twice the diameter, but one such device, which became the W54 warhead, was closer to a sphere, only long.

Special missile warhead fragments that had initially been verified in 1992 were finally subject to thorough sampling and analysis only in 1998.

Some doses near the Pacific test site in the United States were also high, largely because the wind changed direction after one thermonuclear test.
