    A neutron bomb, also known as an enhanced radiation warhead, is a type of nuclear weapon designed to maximize the output of neutron radiation while minimizing the blast itself.

It is primarily intended to kill or incapacitate enemy combatants while leaving structures largely intact.

Wikidata

  1. Neutron bomb

    A neutron bomb or enhanced radiation weapon or weapon of reinforced radiation is a type of thermonuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation rather than explosive energy. Although their extreme blast and heat effects are not eliminated, it is the enormous radiation released by ERWs that is designed to be a major source of casualties. The levels of neutron radiation released are able to penetrate thick, protective materials such as armor, making them useful as anti-tank weapons.
