[edit]This is a great start of an article, but currently it's one gigantic read without any breaks. Articles are greatly helped when they are divided into section (history, general principle/design, types of pits/cores, applications, etc...).

A lot of it is duplication from Nuclear Weapon Design. SkoreKeep (talk) 22:31, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Dispute pit size
[edit]The section says modern pits have a radius of ~5cm. This is wrong.
We have a small number of photos of pits from a B61 being handled showing big +10cm radius pits [1]. These pits are roughly half the diameter of their AT-400A storage container, and the container is 20 inches in diameter [2]. Kylesenior (talk) 06:39, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
