My primary interests on Wikipedia are in the areas of nuclear weapons, their associated systems, and nuclear warfare tactics and theory. I also occasionally spend time editing other topics like civilian nuclear energy, small arms, non-nuclear weapon systems, and history topics.

Documents

[edit]

I have obtained a number of documents from different places that aren't found elsewhere, so I put them on Commons so anyone can access them.

Safety Rules for Peacetime Operations with the DAVY CROCKETTMK54 Mod 2 Atomic Weapon System

This document is unusual in that it describes the yield of the W54 warhead as being 0.02 kilotonnes of TNT (0.084 TJ) and that the weapon contained 26 pounds (12 kg) of HE. I believe this document was mistakenly declassified as the declassification of weapon yield is normally made with a formal statement, but I have not found one.

JCS briefing (July 30, 1963)

This document was given to me by another researcher. They got it from someone who apparently FOIA'ed it, but it lacks declassification markings and includes details what are not normally declassified.

The proposed atmospheric test program for Operation Dominic, 16 Feb 1962

Document gives a number of interesting technical details on the weapons tested in Dominic.

MIRV: A Brief History of Minuteman and Multiple Reentry Vehicles

Lots of interesting details on several weapons and the technical history of MIRV.

Images

[edit]

I've been trying to get more featured pictures related to nuclear weapons.


Nuclear pictures

[edit]

Over the last year or so I have been tracking down images mostly related to the US nuclear weapons program. Most of these were images people had never seen before, depicting nuclear weapons rarely see by members of the general public. Other images have had to do with nuclear weapons testing, showing equipment not normally seen by the general public. I've put some of the images I'm rather proud for having found here.

By "found" I mean the images were buried in technical reports or where listed on various internet archives where they were forgotten about.

I have also been uploading images found by others here onto Wikipedia. I feel I must clearly delineate which images I found and which come from other nuclear weapons researchers. For this purpose, images extracted from reports by others are "found" by others. Some of the better ones come from Alex Wellerstein.

Cacti pictures

[edit]

I also collect cacti and have uploaded a number of images of them for use on Wikipedia.
