The weapon was 34 inches (860 mm) long and weighed 120 pounds (54 kg), and was produced in two versions; the Mod 0 and Mod 1. The yield was thought to be 0.072 kilotonnes of TNT (0.30 TJ) making it one of the smallest nuclear weapons ever developed by the US.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W48

Saw an example of this at Oak Ridge museum.  Fits into two grocery bags long from what I saw.  Plastic 'cause I don't think the paper would carry the weight...............  :biggrin:
