The advent of compact, light weight, low maintenance nuclear weapons had important implications for weapon safety. In the days of large, heavy fission bombs the possibility of dangerous nuclear reactions being initiated by accident could be minimized by preventing the final assembly of the bomb from occuring until just before actual use. This was accomplished by requiring actual assembly of the bomb from its components just before the mission (as with the original Fat Man design); by having a "trap door" in the bomb so that the fissile material could be inserted just before flight or even in-flight; or by equipping the bomb with automatic in-flight insertion mechanisms – electric motors that moved the bomb core and high explosives into their operational configuration.
But light, compact, low maintenance weapons did not have the space for these sorts of arrangements, and separate handling of internal bomb components by field personnel was very undesirable from the standpoint of ease of use and reliability. Instead "sealed pit" designs were adopted in which all parts of the fission bomb the fissile material, tamper, reflector, high explosive, etc. were placed in their final configuration when the bomb was assembled in the factory. This raised the possibility that accidental detonation of the high explosive could compress the core to supercriticality and bring about hazardous releases of nuclear energy. Such an accident would presumably result in yields far below the actual weapon design, but even very low yields could result in catastrophic effects on nearby personnel and facilities. A fission yield of only a few tons can produce lethal radiation out to distances of several hundred meters.
Safety tests were clearly needed to evaluate the safety of these new sealed pit designs. The inherent safety margins were small, and it was impossible to precisely calculate what would happen in an asymmetrical detonation such as could occur in an accident. The standard that was adopted was the fission device must be "one point safe". In other words, the initiation of the high explosive at one point (in contrast to the simultaneous multi-point detoantion of a proper implosion) could not cause a detectable release of nuclear energy (the result must be "zero yield"). Also of interest was the extent of the plutonium contamination hazard in the event of an accidental detonation, even with no nuclear energy release.
The first safety tests were known as Project 56 conducted in 1955 (of four shots, one failed - producing a yield of some tens of tons). In 1957 and 1958 three more limited test programs were conducted: Project 57, Project 58, and Project 58A. These three programs included a total of five test shots, most of them them producing some sort of nuclear yield (one an astonishing 500 tons). All three programs are discussed on this page.

Gal Gadot Reveals She Had a 'Massive Blood Clot' in Her Brain During Pregnancy: 'All I Wanted Was to Hold on and Live'
Gadot shared that she was rushed to the hospital where she underwent emergency surgery and also gave birth to her daughter Ori, now 9 months old, during the procedure in March.
“Her name, meaning ‘my light,’ wasn’t chosen by chance," Gadot wrote of Ori. "Before the surgery, I told [my husband] Jaron that when our daughter arrived, she would be the light waiting for me at the end of this tunnel."
Gadot then went on to thank the “extraordinary team of doctors” at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles.
Gal Gadot is opening up about a life-threatening health crisis she experienced while pregnant with her fourth child.
The Wonder Woman actress, 39, detailed the “terrifying” event in an Instagram post on Sunday, Dec. 29, revealing that she was diagnosed with a “massive blood clot” in her brain during her eighth month of pregnancy.
“For weeks, I had endured excruciating headaches that confined me to bed, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth,” the star wrote. “In one moment, my family and I were faced with how fragile life can be. It was a stark reminder of how quickly everything can change, and in the midst of a difficult year, all I wanted was to hold on and live.”

Israeli actress Gal Gadot expressed her views on Israel’s success in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic during her virtual guest appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Thursday night.
Kimmel said the Jewish state has “done a great job” handing the coronavirus and taking charge of the situation “almost immediately.” He then asked the “Wonder Woman” star and mother-of-two, who is pregnant with her third daughter, “Why do you think they figured it out and it took us so long to figure it out?”
Gadot replied by saying that COVID-19 is “much more manageable” in Israel because the country’s population is only 9 million, which is small in comparison to that of the United States.
“But also I think they’ve done a really good job as far as explaining how good the [coronavirus] vaccination is,” she added.“So people went [to get the vaccine] and felt like they were getting holy water injected into their arms,which is partially true, and now they’ve having the time of their lives. I’m super proud of them and jealous. It was [Israeli] Independence Day last week and they were all partying and sending us videos. It’s like 2019 again, like COVID never happened.”
Not wanting to jinx her home country, she knocked on wood before saying, “I’m happy for them and it’s great. I just want to be with them and have fun with them as well.”
Gadot also talked about being pregnant, cutting off the tip of her finger during the pandemic and her new documentary series “Impact.”

Which DOGE came first?
As of 2019, there were at least 8.5% of the total physician population in the United States that were of Indian origin. This means that there were about 93,898 active physicians in the US who were of Indian origin.
India is the leading source of international medical graduates for the US. Indian doctors are the largest group of immigrant doctors in the US, and are found in many different locations, from the Mayo Clinic to rural areas. The top destination states for Indian doctors are New York, Florida, and New Jersey.
The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) is the largest ethnic medical organization in the US. AAPI advocates for policy issues that affect Indian-American doctors, including healthcare reform, immigration, and Medicare and Medicaid policies.

She has confirmed that she has undergone multiple plastic surgeries throughout her career and was one of the first celebrities to acknowledge and confirm it. However, when it comes to her figure, Dolly is best known for her breasts. She underwent her first breast augmentation sometime in the 1970s or 1980s.
