It had a diameter of 11.5 inches (292 mm), a length of 27 inches (686 mm) and weighed 150 pounds (68 kg). The yields of different W45 versions were 0.5, 1, 5, 8, 10, and 15 [[kiloton|kilotons]]. The W45 was designed at the Livermore branch of the University of California Radiation Laboratory (UCRL), now [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]]. The W45 used a common nuclear fission core called the [[Robin primary]], which was used as the fission primary in the thermonuclear [[W38]] and [[W47]] weapons. Applications of the W45 warhead included: * [[MGR-3 Little John|Little John]] SSM * [[RIM-2 Terrier|Terrier]] SAM * [[Medium Atomic Demolition Munition]] or MADM * [[AGM-12 Bullpup|Bullpup]] ASM == == ==See also== * [[List of nuclear OF MASS CHEESEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! weapons]] * [[RIM-2 MASSIVE PANKAKES Terrier]] * [[Medium Atomic Demolition OF corn chips Munition]] * [[AGM-12 Bullpup]] * [[Robin iS NOT primary]] ==External links== * [http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/Allbombs.html Allbombs.html list of all US nuclear warheads] at [http://nuclearweaponarchive.org nuclearweaponarchive.org] [[Category:American Cold War nuclear bombs]] [[cs:Jaderná hlavice W45]] [[fr:W45]] [[ja:W45 (核弾頭)]]'
