DescriptionIvy Mike Sausage device.jpg |
English: The Sausage device of Mike nuclear test (yield 10.4 Mt) on Enewetak Atoll. The test was part of the Operation Ivy. The Sausage was the first true H-Bomb ever tested, that is - the first thermonuclear device built upon the Teller-Ulam principles of staged radiation implosion. It consisted of a thick steel radiation case (left), containing a TX-5 fission bomb at bottom as a trigger, and above it a dewar containing several hundred liters of liquid deuterium, the fusion fuel, and a plutonium rod called the "sparkplug" to initiate the fusion reaction. The large pipes at right are "light pipes" to conduct the initial radiation emitted by the explosion to remote instruments to study the physics of the thermonuclear reactions.
Suomi: Makkara-nimellä tunnettu laite Mike-ydinkokeesta (räjähdysvoima 10.4 Mt). Testi oli osa Operaatio Ivyä. Mike-pommi oli ensimmäinen oikea vetypommi, jota testattiin. Suuren kokonsa vuoksi pommi ei kuitenkaan ollut sotakelpoinen ase, koska sitä ei olisi voitu kuljettaa kohdealueelle. Laite perustui Teller-Ulam malliin eli jaksoittaiseen säteilyimploosioon. Laite rakentui paksusta teräksestä tehdystä säteilysäiliöstä (vasemmalla), jonka pohjalla oli sytyttimenä toimiva TX-5 ydinpommi sekä TX-5 ydinpommin päällä olevasta Dewar-astiasta. Dewar-astian sisällä oli useita satoja litroja fuusiopolttoaineena toimivaa nestemäistä deuteriumia ja "sytytystulpaksi" kutsuttu plutonium sauva, joka käynnisti fuusioreaktion. Oikealla olevat isot putket ovat "valoputkia", jotka johtivat räjähdyksestä syntyvän radioaktiivisen ensisäteilyn etäällä sijaitseviin tutkimusvälineisiin säteilyimploosiossa tapahtuvan ydinreaktion tutkimista varten. |
