Test: Hornet
Time: 13:20 12 March 1955 (GMT)
5:20 12 March 1955 (PST)
Location: Nevada Test Site (NTS), Area 3a
Test Height and Type: 300 Foot Tower Shot
Yield: 4 kt

This was a LASL test of the boosted version of the XW-30 air defense warhead. It was a sealed-pit D-T gas boosted design. The maximum expected yield was 10 kt. It used a ZIPPER external initiator. Total device weight was 500 lb, the nuclear system weighed 460 lb.

Very cool. I looked at this and Tesla from the same test series to get an intuition on yield effect of the W76-2.

This might be the only Nevada test I've seen with a Wilson cloud.

If we compare this to Dominic / Bighorn, 1 single kilo of that device did what we see here. And Bighorn had like 2000x this yield.
