This UCRL thermonuclear device used a
boosted "Swan" primary and "Flute" secondary. The device was 15 inches
in diameter, 46.2 inches long, and weighed 1116 lb. The primary was 11.6
inches by 22.8 inches and weighed 105 lb. The yield was at the high end
of the predicted range. A wide but very shallow crater was created
(mostly due to pressure collapse of the porous coral soil) - 1340 feet
by 8 feet.
The picture shows Mohawk several
hundred microseconds after detonation. The "pimple" at right is the
vaporized shot cab.
