There probably would not have been anyplace to land afterward anyway.

BTW, that 15,000 lb bomb we've used 4 or 5 times in Afghanistan (known as a "Daisy Cutter" which is not an official nickname, just a description of an effect), is a BLU-82B. The guys using it affectionately , but unofficially, call it "Big Blue".

A smallish tactical nuke is about 40 to 40,000 times as much boom as a Big Blue (selectable yield). Ouch.

..oh, and cheap too. Lowest cost power generated.

it gets so many hassles, and that we're not building more plants.

Did some minor work for Westinghouse years ago for controls for reactors. It's an interesting paperwork drill.
