  • Alex Wellerstein, a historian of nuclear weapons at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, read trough the 800 Paige 1956-59 dossier “Atomic Weapons Requirements Study for 1959.”. The titled target list was essentially a huge spreadsheet that was produced by the Strategic Air Command in 1956 and projected what could and should be hit in a potential atomic war in 1959. He stated that he had found out that the USA had got atomic bombs totalling about 20,000 megatons in yield. President Dwight D. Eisenhower pushed to reduce both the arsenal and the tonnage by half over the next year or two, which it was, since Ike thought such a nuclear attack was both ludicrously over the top and suicidal for the entire world.
