It's far too cold compared to nuclear temperatures. 100,000,000 degrees is 7,000 time hotter! *Watching another one whoosh over your head*<br /><br />"<font color="Yellow">In any case, the only temperatures such as you describe occur within a few meters of the center of the blast. They last for only a few milliseconds.</font>"<br />Your own link says that the 20 kt bomb must be 3.5 meters from the pusher plate, which is within a few meters. However, since you changed the parameters to using a bomb with 1/100th the yield, you have to put it 1/10th the distance away from the pusher plate, which is 35 centimeters. 35 Centimeters is also withinin a few meters, or is packet math something different here too?<br /><br />The two tons of concrete aplated completely in 0.031 seconds, which is 31 milliseconds, matching your criteria for lasting only a few milliseconds. Of course now, you want to use a bomb that's 100 times smaller, so it's 10 times closer, so the ablation happens in only 0.0031 millseconds. In packet math is 3.1 milliseconds "<font color="Yellow">only a few milliseconds</font>" And don't forget, the 3.1 milliseconds is an outside figure. We only know that it happened in no more than this time. It could have happened in less. Why? Because these were only observations, not controlled experiments! *Watching another one whoosh over your head*<br /><br />"<font color="Yellow">That is not correct as was evidenced by the tests demonstrated in the links provided and the conclusions of the Orion team.</font>"<br />The tests your stupid team ran were 7,000 times too cold.<br /><br />"<font color="Yellow">The concrete slab was not part of any Orion test conducted.</font>"<br />Don't gimmie that BS. It's the observation that you cited in your links substantiating Orion.<br /><br />"<font color="Yellow">The</font>
