Neutron bomb

Could a neutron bomb detonated at a high altitude sterilize the Donbas of life and leave low enough residual radiation so the Khazarians could inhabit the areas within a year?

    Not really. The lethal radius really isn't that far.

      But if it's radiation is shining down it has less atmosphere to pass through.

        Radiation drops as the square of distance. Double the distance, 1/4 of the irradiance.

    No, a neutron device would make the land uninhabitable for at least 50 years.

      Neutrons aren't radioactive.

        This has to be bait. They themselves aren't radioactive, but the neutrons cause atoms struck by then to become unstable isotopes which are radioactive.

        Neutron bombs are basically as radioactive. They just have fallout over a smaller area. The area is smaller not because of wonder physics with neutron bombs or some shit, it's just because the bomb yield is low. Carpeting an area with neutron bombs irradiates it functionally as much as one giant bomb.

          IIRC the size of the blast scales faster than the radiation zone, so smaller bombs would have proportionately less radiation.

        high energy neutrons ionise molecules

        Neutrons ARE radiation. They get shot out at relativistic speed and end up colliding with your molecules.

        Holy fricking shit you're stupid. Neutrons are both ionizing radiation and themselves beta decay into protons. Goddammit I hate how moronic everyone who tries to discuss anything nuclear is.

    Yes, although neutron radiations tends to damage steel.

      While it will eventually transmute into a different metal, you typically need several years to decades of neutron bombardment to have any notable change.

      Hypothetical nuclear device which produces neutron rays, killing people but leaving infrastructure "intact"

        The only thing hypothetical is your chance of ever putting your dicc in a real woman. Neutron bombs have been built and fielded

      It's a nuclear weapon with instantaneous radiation with a greater distance than it's explosive effects.

    Them leaving infrastructure intact is a massive overstatement - its still a huge fricking bomb

      A brief google search told me a 1 kiloton neutron bomb would severely damage non-reinforced buildings in a 600m radius, potentially causing collapses. The shockwave would be enough to throw a person off their feet at the 600m mark, but the pressure wave itself wouldn't be lethal. Any unsheltered person out to 900m will be immediately incapacitated and die within a day or 2. Anyone exposed beyond that to 1300m will have 1-2 weeks to live. People between 1300m and 1450m meters will fall ill for weeks with a 50% of death. It drops off pretty quick from there.

      The effect zones are changed by how humid the weather is, with dry air being less able to absorb the radiation than humid air. A person who is indoors or behind a building will be significantly protected, depending on what the walls are made off. Surviving near the centre of the blast is very possible if even just 30cm of concrete is providing shielding. You can see why we stopped keeping neutron bombs in our stocks. Even a standard modern tank would provide sufficient shielding to protect the crew.

      FYI, the Beirut explosion was 1.5KT, but it was pure blast and thermal energy. 40% of the energy in a neutron bomb is the radiation. Imagine if pic related was about 2/3s smaller and that's the physical explosion of a 1 kiloton neutron bomb.

    Probably not. Neutron radiation tends to create unstable isotopes, essentially creating fallout. Fallout 76, to be precise, in toxicity.

    But seriously. bombard iron with neutrons and you'll often get super unstable iron isotopes that decay into cobalt, then nickel, then copper, releasing radiation with every transmutation.

    The kill radius of a neutron burst is smaller than the kill radius of the heat and blast effects that create it, so anyone you're intending to kill with neutrons is going to get killed by the blast and heat anyway
    It's like coating 00 buckshot in arsenic, shooting someone in the face, and then say "I was trying to kill them with arsenic poisoning"
