Typical warheads on Minuteman missiles are typically in the 100s of kilotons range not mega-megatons. If memory serves me right, Titan II warheads were(are? They still around?) approx. 10 megatons each (no MIRVs) No nation has ever built a 100 megaton nuclear device although the Russians claimed to have one in East Berlin in the 1970 time frame - Typical Lies. Just a brief comment. I hope public education in this country hasn't sunk so low that people don't have enough sense not to frolic about in fallout like it's the first snowfall of the year like what was depicted in TDA.
