The non-simultaneous, uncontrolled and highly irregular detonation of all or some of the HE [high explosive] components of nuclear weapons. Such erratic HE detonation, resulting from impact shocks or exposure to fires, lacks the squeeze or implosion necessary to produce a nuclear yield detonation. The term implies the normal consequence of exposure of nuclear weapons to impacts or fire, namely, a detonation of a portion of the HE content of the weapon, in turn resulting in a scattering of the remaining HE as well as the fissile material. 2, record 2, English, - one%2Dpoint%20detonation

Explosion non simultanée, non contrôlée et très irrégulière de tous les explosifs puissants (HE) d'armes nucléaires ou de quelques-uns d'entre eux. Une telle explosion puissante irrégulière, causée par des chocs ou l'exposition au feu, n'a pas la concentration ou la puissance nécessaire pour produire une explosion nucléaire. L'expression utilisée se rapporte à la conséquence normale de l'exposition d'armes nucléaires à des chocs ou au feu, à savoir l'explosion d'une partie des explosifs puissants (HE) de l'armement: cette explosion entraîne à son tour la dispersion du reste des explosifs puissants et des matières fissiles. 1, record 2, French, - explosion%20en%20un%20seul%20point
