'If a nuke is airbursted above a forest and no one is around to hear it, does the forest really have a half-life of 10,000 years?'

Ok...let me reword...the fireball...not explosion. No fire touching the ground = no convection. The concussion and EMP still happen and that is what we really want.

The height depends on the size of the warhead...but essentially yeah.

Is that what this arms race is about? 'My warhead is bigger than your warhead'...?

Perhaps 'arms' is the wrong appendage.
