On a cultural level, the passivity encouraged of young girls in some parts of northeastern Nigeria may have made them less likely to decline the demands of male militants to carry out such attacks or deliver packages that unbeknownst to the girls had remotely

Depending on the air-hydrogen mixture's concentration, it would have even become a

One concern is that some nuclear warheads, such as the high-yield W88 on the Navy's Trident D-5 missile, continue to use conventional high explosives to trigger a nuclear reaction, as opposed to less
detonable "insensitive high explosives." According to a 1994 study co-authored by John Harvey, now a deputy assistant secretary of defense, an accident (such as dropping a missile during handling) or act of sabotage with such a warhead could "create impact pressures and temperatures sufficient to cause motor detonation or fire." The resulting "catastrophic" dispersal of toxic plutonium would cause an environmental disaster and increased cancer deaths for the people exposed to the fallout.
The larger the cells, the less
detonable the mixtures.
