Abstract
Is it technically feasible to construct a weapon which could disperse lethal radioactive dust over the face of the earth? Dr. Szilard's assertions that the hydrogen bomb could be rigged to produce this effect were made over a University of Chicago Round Table broadcast in February and reprinted in the April 1950 Bulletin. Similar statements were made by Dr. Einstein and Dr. Harrison Brown. In this article, Dr. Arnold, a research associate and member of the teaching staff at the Institute for Nuclear Studies, University of Chicago, examines Dr. Szilard's calculations.
