I haven’t posted much on the “American Nuclear Explosive Devices” project lately. For those interested, don’t worry, work continues; just that since a lot of it is converting photos into CAD diagrams, then erasing a days work and starting over, then going at it again, and so on, it hasn’t been terribly interesting. But there is progress.

NOTE: I have in most cases high confidence in the accuracy of the external configurations of the nuclear weapons. The internal configuration, however, is rather less trustworthy. Most of the diagrams won’t go into the innards, as that would require pure guesswork on my part; but some do have internal arrangements available to some degree of reliability or another. None, with the possible exception of Fat Man, are detailed enough to build a functioning nuke off of, so no worries there.
