THE GREAT DETERRENT
-- ee OCU Sir,-We are told that Britain has developed a "clean" bomb. Can someone tell us exactly what this means? Does such a bomb explode without releasing any radio-activity, strontium 90, or other harmful material into the air, or is it called "clean" simply because it causes no immediate "fallout"? If it releases harmful material I take it that this material would permeate the upper air and then fall slowly over every part of the globe, Scientists are not yet agreed as to whether the amount of harmful material from nuclear explosions may not even now have come very near the danger level. Perhaps only future generations will know. They will be the guinea pigs. Are we, even with our "clean" bombs, jeopardising the welfare of those yet unborn?-their food and their right to normal healthy physique and mentality?
