That would indeed be problematic. Because fallout. Maybe there are small tactical devices that would be clean enough, if detonated far enough above the ground.

Maybe there are small tactical devices that would be clean enough, if detonated far enough above the ground. But I doubt it.
- CamperBob2 8y agoFallout is highly controllable, not necessarily that big an issue in an airburst. Keep in mind that the idea is to avoid setting off even more of them in anger. Right now it's considered deeply taboo to drop a nuclear weapon on an enemy. In another generation, a nuclear conflict will be considered drastic but nothing all that horrific. The generation after that will have fewer inhibitions. The generation after that will have fewer members.
