Here Are Iran's Leaked Plans For A Nuclear Weapon Nov 27th 2012, 18:37 The AP has obtained Iranian scientists' computer simulations for a bomb. From the Associated Press: The undated diagram that was given to the AP by officials of a country critical of Iran's atomic program allegedly calculating the explosive force of a nuclear — a key step in developing such arms. The diagram shows a bell curve and has variables of time in micro-seconds and power and energy, both in kilotons — the traditional measurement of the energy output, and hence the destructive power of nuclear weapons. The curve peaks at just above 50 kilotons at around 2 microseconds, reflecting the full force of the weapon being modeled. The Farsi writing at the bottom translates "changes in output and in energy released as a function of time through power pulse." As a point of comparison, "Little Boy" — the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima during World War II — had a force of about 15 kilotons.
