The Mark 10 was intended to be a general purpose airburst nuclear weapon, unlike the Mark 8 which was intended to penetrate into the ground as a Nuclear Bunker Buster . The Mark 10 was 12 inches in diameter and weighed 1,500 or 1,750 pounds. It had a design yield of 12 to 15 Kiloton s. The Mark 10 design was cancelled in 1952, replaced by the implosion-type Mark 12 Nuclear Bomb which was lighter and used considerably less fissile nuclear material. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
