About: Starling (nuclear primary)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Starling was a small American nuclear bomb developed in the 1950s that was used as the primary in several US thermonuclear weapons. The Starling was developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. According to researcher Chuck Hansen, it was 11.53 inches (293 mm) in diameter, 14.25 inches (362 mm) in length, and had a weight of 86.4 pounds (39.2 kg). As tested in Nougat Cimarron, the primary had a yield of 5 to 8 kilotonnes of TNT (21 to 33 TJ) but is also described as being 10 to 20 kilotonnes of TNT (42 to 84 TJ). It was a two-point primary, like Tsetse, Kinglet, Robin, and .

Starling and Kinglet are reportedly the immediate successors to Robin. (en)
