- W2485281427 abstract "The formal political decision of the Gen 163 Cabinet committee in January 1947, that design work should start on a British nuclear bomb, left most of the technical issues involved in its construction to be resolved by those managing the project. Their immediate aim was to build and test a fission device which would demonstrate both mastery of the nuclear physics principles applicable to atomic explosions, and an ability successfully to design, develop and manufacture the non-nuclear components necessary to trigger it off. This involved ordnance experiments which ‘could be begun and completed without the need to use fissile material at any stage’.1 In parallel, work was to be initiated on a production design for the bomb’s nuclear explosive warhead, which would offer the same advantages of allowing the fissile core to be stored separately from the fully assembled non-nuclear components that had been incorporated into the United States Mark IV weapon. This activity had to be integrated with the design, testing and production of the fuses, ballistic case and other components of the complete nuclear weapon system. The bomb had many similarities to a ballistic missile, as it was intended to be dropped from several miles above the earth, though it had no direct means of propulsion.2" @default.
