The only item of interest in this folder is a 5 June 59 message from Teller
Meet Hine
to Starbird and Bradbury which supplements to the statement made by Teller on the
need for testing and the possibilities with testing.
Generally, he feels and sets fort
in detail that though possibilities of weapon development have in the past been due
to having a somewhat optimistic outlook on a new idea and pursuing and feels that
philosophy should be applied into the future.
Further, he sets out five porposals for \
weapons developments of enhancement of effect which he feels should be worked hard
for in the near future and so that some testing is needed.
One of these listed
is the so-called radiation bomb which releases most of its energy in the form of
neutrons or gamma-ray, rather than in blast and heat, and I believe was also
known as the neutron bomb.
