New low yield earth penetrating nuke eyed by Pentagon
Washington reports the Defense Department is studying a possible new low yield nuclear weapon with an earth penetrating nose cone to hit hardened targets such as leadership bunkers and command centers. Advocates say it could reduce collateral damage and allow stockpile reduction, while critics warn it raises use risks. The Pentagon study, aided by the Energy Department, follows a 2006 amendment requiring evaluation of weapons to defeat buried targets.
