Hammer Purple Solid Reactive, Hammer Radioactive Vibe, Hammer Ratchet. That quote was from the Times' review, and Slate's Ron Rosenbaum recently revisited the book within the chilling context of Russian president Vladimir Putin's decision to put his country's nuclear bomber fleet back in the air. February 1952 read: The Atom Bomb That Saves Lives Canadian scientists have turned the deadly atom into a dynamic healer. Hammer Brick, Hammer Burgundy Hammer, Hammer Cherry Vibe, Hammer Cobalt Vibe.
We all face the prospect that, if Russia were ever attacked, its strategic nuclear warheads could be launched by a computer system designed and built in the late 1970s. It would be a brave officer, adds Smith, who, having been cut off from his superiors in the Kremlin, could ignore the advice of such a supposedly foolproof system. All that is then needed is final human approval from a command post buried deep underground. If the answer to both questions is “yes” then the computer will conclude that the country is under attack and activate its nuclear arsenal. Its job is to monitor whether there have been nuclear detonations on Russian territory and to check whether communications channels with the Kremlin have been severed. It went fully operational in January 1985. Radioactive cobalt from the unit attacked tumours that lay deep within the body, thus bringing more cancers within reach of. Unlike the atomic bomb of the Cold War era, this bomb helped rather than harmed people. At its heart was a computer system similar to the one in Dr Strangelove. This is the original Cobalt-60 Beam Therapy Unit, known as the cobalt bomb, which was designed, built and operated in Saskatoon. The half-life of the radioactive cobalt produced is about 5 years, which is long enough to give the fallout plenty of time to settle before it decays and kills, but short enough to produce intense radiation for a lot longer than you’d last in a fallout shelter. Fearing that a sneak attack by American submarine-launched missiles might take Moscow out in thirteen minutes, the Soviet leadership had authorized the construction of an automated communications network, reinforced to withstand a nuclear strike.
