This disc contains a one-hour version for general audiences and a 90 minute version for mature audiences. This was an International uranium Film Festival Official Selection 2023! The music was by William T. Stromberg. Oppenheimer was known as th…e father of the Atomic Bomb and Edward Teller was know as the father of the Hydrogen Bomb. Now meet Sam Cohen, father of the Neutron Bomb--one of the most-hated nuclear weapons ever invented. Highlighting nuclear and radioactive issues, "Neutron Bomb" demonstrates how even the most heinous concept for a nuclear weapon could become an international crisis that gripped the world and reverberates to this very day. Battlefield nukes and NATO--the danger of the Neutron Bomb still exists, and urgently demands attention worldwide. "Neutron Bomb: s the 6th documentary by award-winning filmmaker Peter Kuran, whose 25+ year nuclear documentary career began with the award-winning "Trinity and Beyond--The Atomic Bomb Movie". Peter Kuran is a film director, visual effects artist, and producer. Kuran got his start in the film industry in 1976 working on George Lucas's landmark film Star Wars. In 1982 Kuran started his own company, Visual Concept Entertainment, and subsequently embarked on a successful film career. Either independently or through his company, Kuban produced and directed a number of films. Kuran worked in visual effects for a number of high-budget films, including Addams Family, Men in Black, Robo Cop, and Beetle Juice. In 2002 Kuran earned an Academy Award in the area of science and engineering. A neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low-yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself. The conception of neutron bombs is generally credited to Samuel T. Cohen of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, who developed the concept in 1958. Initial development was carried out as part of projects Dove and Starling, and an early device was tested underground in early 1962. Designs for a "weaponized" version were developed in 1963. The neutron release generated by a nuclear fusion reaction is intentionally allowed to escape the weapon, rather than being absorbed by its other components. The neutron burst, which is used as the primary destructive action of the warhead, is able to penetrate enemy armor more effectively than a conventional warhead, thus making it more lethal as a tactical weapon. ERWs were first operationally deployed for anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs). In this role, the burst of neutrons would cause nearby warheads to undergo partial fission, preventing them from exploding properly. For this to work, the ABM would have to explode within approximately 300 feet of its target. The first example of such a system was the W66, used on the Sprint missile used in the US Nike-X system. Samuel Theodore Cohen (January 25, 1921 November 28, 2010) was an American physicist who is generally credited as the father of the neutron bomb. He was born on January 25, 1921, in Brooklyn and raised in New York City. He studied mathematics and physics at University of California, Los Angeles before joining the United States Army after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In 1944 he worked on the Manhattan Project in the efficiency group at Los Alamos and calculated how neutrons behaved in Fat Man, the atomic bomb that was later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan. After the war he studied for his Ph.D. at Berkeley before dropping out to join the RAND Corporation. At RAND Corporation in 1950, his work on the intensity of fallout radiation first became public when his calculations were included as a special appendix in Samuel Glasstone's book The Effects of Atomic Weapons. Cohen was personally responsible for recruiting the famous strategist Herman Kahn into the RAND Corporation. During the Vietnam War, Cohen argued that using small neutron.
