Blue Peacock : ウィキペディア英語版 | Blue Peacock
Blue Peacock, renamed from Blue Bunny and originally Brown Bunny, was a British tactical nuclear weapon project in the 1950s. The project's goal was to store a number of ten-kiloton nuclear mines in Germany, to be placed on the North German Plain and, in the event of Soviet invasion from the east, detonated by wire or an eight-day timer to: ==Design== The design was based on the free-falling Blue Danube, but the Blue Peacock weighed . There would be two firing units, the casting and the warhead. Its steel casing was so large that it had to be tested outdoors in a flooded gravel pit near Sevenoaks in Kent. Since the bomb would be unattended, anti-tamper devices were also used. The casing was pressurised, and pressure and tilt switches were added.〔 There were three different ways that the bomb could be detonated: a wire located three miles away, an eight day timer, or anti-tampering devices. Once armed, Blue Peacock would detonate 10 seconds after being moved, if the casing lost pressure or if it was filled with water.〔
