Their single five KT bomb contained at least enough plutonium for two critical masses, if brought together inside a good neutron reflector. Each mass should give about a two kiloton explosion. And they did have a good neutron reflector—nuclite. There wasn’t anything better for the purpose. "What have we got for a neutron source?" he asked aloud.
They also learned that in reduced degrees of concentration, it became a substitute for any explosive of known chemical composition; brought in contact with the compound inside one of the golden eggs, it produced an explosive starting at the kiloton level of one egg to two cups of milk and went up the scale but leveled off at a peak as the recipe was increased; could be controlled by mixing jets to produce any desired stream of explosive power; and they didn't have the wildest idea what was causing the reaction.

He was really asking himself, but he got a quick answer from Koa.
Not knowing what else to do with the massive 12 million dollar Jumbo, it was decided to suspend it from a steel tower 800 yards from Ground Zero to see how it would withstand the Trinity test. Jumbo survived the approximately 20 kiloton Trinity blast undamaged, but its supporting 70-foot tall steel tower was flattened.
The star Rip had chosen as an overhead guide was straight up. He bounced out of the hole and as Koa caught him he told Kemp to go ahead. "Dominico, here’s your chance. Get tools and wire. Find a timer and connect up the ten kiloton bomb. Nunez, bring it here while Dominico gets what he needs." Kemp was burning his way into the asteroid at a good rate.
