Most certainly throughout this series and the entirety of the Sandia Labs channel there are many many technical details and specifications that are discussed at great length. I advise you not to check it out though, as I see details are hard for you to pick up on.

On a purely engineering aspect it is astonishing what these cold war engineers and scientists were able to accomplish. This series was phenomenal and I found it fascinating. Thank you, not only for interviewing these ladies and gentlemen to document this for historical purposes but also editing it so morons like myself could understand it.

CHE on the Trident's MIRVs definitely makes more sense to me. IHE is more understandable for bombs and land-based ICBMs because an accidental conventional detonation could spread nuclear material into air currents and widely spread contamination. With a submerged platform, if there was an issue with the warhead, the missile could be jettisoned in a safed condition, and water pressure would help to contain any detonation and reduce nuclear material dispersal.

Fascinating series, thank you! Must say though, the nonchalance with which they announce the switch from counter-value to first-strike capabilities, for a system which can by its nature be positioned very close to any foreign shore and would therefore be extremely threatening to a perceived adversary, is extremely concerning

It's safety-related content; they don't classify it because they are trying to encourage other nuclear powers to evaluate and develop similar safety systems for their own nuclear weapons... to reduce the possibility of inadvertant, accidental, or sabotaged nuclear weapon detonations, and contribute to greater security from theft or rogue use of nuclear weapons in other nation's stockpiles. The US has shared such information in the past with the Soviets and even encouraged and helped them increase security on their nuclear forces after the Soviet collapse. OL J R :)

And what Sandia didn't know was what Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works had cooked up in the 60's and 70's: Stealth. It smoked the USSR's defense systems, giving NATO a genuine First Strike capability. Combine that with the ALCM, Trident and MX threat, the Sov had little choice but to fold. Enter the late 80's and 90's, the world flipped upside down and inside out.

Unfortunately it's the situation we find ourselves in. We simply have to do the best we can with what we've got. Even if the US hadn't invented the bomb in WW2, the scientific principles needed to build bombs were already known to be possible and other countries, like Germany and Japan and the Soviet Union, were already working on developing it themselves, with varying degrees of success. So even without the US building the bomb, some other country WOULD have within a decade or two anyway, and we'd be in the same boat. Once someone has it, their enemies have to have it to "defend themselves" and deter attack using them. That genie isn't going back into the bottle, because even with "world peace" (at some future time) there's always the risk that someone will "cheat" and keep some bombs secreted away, or the ability to make them, and that will give them a huge advantage at some point if they wanted to do something bad. So nations will, for the foreseeable future, have a vital interest in maintaining SOME nuclear capability at least for deterrence against such possibilities. Later! OL J R :)

The goal of US foreign policy is not to help the position of the USA in the world. US foreign policy is the tool of a fairly small group of international corporations and think-tanks who benefit in money and power from its actions. They have a phenomenally effective propaganda operation through the mainstream corporate news media.

Strategic are less usable than tactical. How big of a yield is too big? Is a 3kt "battlefield" nuke safer than a 1mt strategic warhead? Not in the sense that the 3kt is more acceptable. It's counter-intuitive that a yield that's 1/333 of a megaton, let's say, is actually a more realistic threat.
