![The fashion of this world passeth away](Frenchbombx.jpg) |
The French brought in new thermonuclear flair with their first hydrogen
bomb. Big hair and elegantly belled skirts were "in" with top bomb fashion designers.
Dr Toggle, our principal research operative, regrets he is
unable to provide entirely reliable information about this bomb. He is betting (lightly) on it being "Bleue",
60 - 70 kiloton, at Reggane Proving Ground, Algeria, on 13 February 1960. In the course of his researches, Dr Toggle
discovered a very useful and impressively tabulated list of every atomic explosion since
"Trinity" prepared by Jim Lawson of the
Oklahoma Geological Survey Observatory.
