Scientist predicts enemy atomic strike could destroy city
Washington April 3 INS An Army atomic warfare scientist foresees an enemy using a new type atom bomb twice as powerful as the Japan bombs to strike a key American city. Dr Ralph Lapp says there is no foolproof defense and outlines radar warning fences and interceptor weapons to meet such an attack. The study, used by civilian defense groups, warns of deadly radioactive gas and notes the City 2 model separates industrial zones while the other sits near them. The radar fence would detect aircraft 300 miles from shore, and missiles and sky sweepers would respond.
