The bomb, formally known as an “enhanced
radiation warhead,” is a small warhead that would be
placed on Lance missiles and 8-inch artillery shells. It
produces twice the deadly radiation of a conventional
nuclear bomb but less than one-tenth as much ex
plosive power. It is designed to kill enemy soliders
without causing widespread destruction of buildings in
populated areas.

assembled warhead will be kept here in the United
States.” But, he added, the actual assembly “will take
much less time once the elements are in existence.”
Carter disclosed on April 7 that he was deferring
production of the weapon, holding off a decision that he
said would be influenced by the degree of Soviet
restraint in conventional and nuclear arms.
But the president said at the time that the Pentagon
was being ordered “to proceed with the modernization
of the Lance missile nuclear warhead and the 8-inch
weapon system, leaving open the option of installing
the enhanced radiation elements.”
