the Israelis have developed a bomb which kills all the people but leaves all the warehouses
The last Labour Government invented a bomb that destroyed the economy but left the people alive.

That must be the new Tron bomb.

The enhanced radiation weapon and the neutron bomb are essentially the same thing. It's just a regular fission bomb optimized for neutron production. The idea goes back to 1958 when the cold war was in full flow and all kinds of devices were considered. Some of them, like the nuclear bullet, never got off the drawing board.
The cobalt bomb was a device surrounded by much myth. Somebody tried to tell me that nobody dared test one in case it wiped out the entire solar system - and him a physics lab technician too! The truth is much simpler; bog-standard cobalt 59 in the bomb casing captures the neutrons and becomes very unfriendly cobalt 60, a high energy gamma source with a half life of about five years.
If a true neutron-only bomb exists, it remains a well hidden secret. If I was trying to make one, I would be looking at helium-beryllium fusion. Maybe this is the origin of the beryllium sphere which keeps cropping up in science fiction. The claim that it would leave warehouses intact is misleading. Intact they might be but much of their contents would be loaded with induced radioactivity. You don't have to
Lincsbodger said:No the Cobalt salted bomb was a triple stage fission-fusion-fission device, the outer shell of which was cobalt 60.
and also said:Consequently the bomb is cleaner than a nuclear device and by weight comparisons makes a fireball twice as big and with twice the blast radius.

There will never be peace in the Middle East until Israel moves out.
It was only given as a compensatory measure after the holocaust to make the world feel less guilty.
Relocate them in the heartland of their financial backers - Montana or Nebraska are pretty empty.
The trouble is, then the USA would lose their nuclear base in the Middle East and the dominoes would start to fall and with them the oil fields.
