原子地雷是利用原子核裂变反应时释放出来的巨大能量来杀伤有生力量和破坏目标的地雷。这种地雷的梯恩梯当量从10吨到15000吨不等。爆炸时,其破坏范围和障碍作用都是普通地雷所无法比拟的。如美国研制的一种叫“威士忌”的原子地雷,其直径为38厘米,重约45.4公斤,爆炸时的梯恩梯当量为300吨,使50—70米范围内的坦克、火炮、野战工事严重破坏。一枚梯恩梯当量为1200吨、埋设在地下5.2米深的原子地雷,爆炸时能造成直径79米、深16米、积土高2.4米的大炸坑。原子地雷爆炸时,不仅能大量杀伤有生力量,炸毁装甲车辆,破坏道路、桥梁、机 Atomic mines are land mines that use the enormous energy released during nuclear fission reactions to kill viable forces and destroy targets. The TNT equivalent for such mines varies from 10 tons to 15,000 tons. Explosion, its scope of damage and obstacles are unmatched by ordinary land-mines. Such as the United States developed a called “whiskey” Atomic Mines, the diameter of 38 cm and weighs about 45.4 kg, the TNT explosion equivalent of 300 tons, so that the range of 50-70 meters tanks, artillery, field operations seriously damaged . An TNT equivalent weight of 1,200 tons, 5.2 meters underground buried in atomic mines, the explosion can cause a diameter of 79 meters, 16 meters deep, 2.4 meters high fill soil big pit. When an atomic mine explodes, it can not only kill a large number of living forces, blow up armored vehicles, destroy roads, bridges and machines
