Where's the physics package?
Nowhere in that pic. I vaguely recall the picture was showing all the non-nuclear major assemblies and military components that went into the system. I have never come across an actual picture of it.
I'm guessing that the actual shape of the physics package itself is in this case classified (primary-secondary-tertiary maybe?). Perhaps it installs directly into the bomb casing itself instead of into another casing first, making unclassified pics of not possible.
several people noticed, then @wellerstein published the shape found in a "nukes over the years" graphic. It LOOKS like a drawing of another physics package that is escaping me at the moment, and someone will point out several are related...pic.twitter.com/RJAZ3UJ5oF
Here's one from Carey Sublette: https://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/B83color1.jpg …
It's pretty incredible that there is 1.2MT of yield coming from that.
500 tons of TNT per pound of warhead weight...!
