Talk:Castle Koon

Only dud?
The article states that this was the only dud of US thermonuclear weapon tests. What about Operation Redwing Yuma? Or was Yuma not thermonuclear? 74.205.176.202 (talk) 19:31, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Operation Redwing included nuclear and thermonuclear tests. Test Yuma was called a fizzle in the (current) Wikipedia article on Operation Redwing; it was described as an air defense warhead, 5 inches in diameter, 96 pound, linear implosion device, which sounds nuclear (atomic fission) rather than thermonuclear (atomic fusion). -- Naaman Brown (talk) 10:45, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
