Design
The W-62 is a special bomb, in that it is using the outdated and somewhat unpredictable hydrogen bomb system. However, the outer casing of the bomb is surrounded on both sides with 238U. The uranium isotope surrounding causes widespread fallout, and can be replaced to some extent with 60Co or 90Sr.
The bomb is designed to cause as much destruction as possible, with the lightest possible weight. It already has an extremely high yield, but the yield is adjustable.
