Baron Gilbert is quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India. "If you told them that some ERRB (Enhanced Radiation/Reduced Blast) warheads were going to be dropped there and that it would be a very unpleasant place to go, they would not go there." - A Senile Old Fool

No, It would be a very unpleasent place to be (for about a second), then not so much.

The whole idea is the Enhanced Radiation Warhead is a prompt radiation wave of fast neutrons which sweeps through everything, armour, concrete, rocks, wood, flesh and delivers a lethal rad dose to anything living, leaving the area unradded and accessible to your followup troops to seize control.

It is totally not suitable for quarantining a region.

another reason to hate Jimma' Carter

I always like the concept of the nutron bomb

Kill everything living and leave the realty intact ... return and clear the enemy corpses in a couple of days

it even kills roaches
