U.S. Pioneers Gamma Ray Bomb
American military scientists are developing a weapon which kills by delivering an enormous burst of high-energy gamma rays, it is claimed today. The bomb, which produces little fallout, blurs the distinction between conventional and nuclear weapons, and experts have already warned it could spark a new arms race. The science behind the gamma ray bomb is still in its infancy, and technical problems mean it could be decades before the devices are developed. Project director Dr Bruce Banner could not be reached for comment. Posted by: Steve 2003-08-14 |
