1971–74 French nuclear tests, the Glossary

France carried out a series of 24 nuclear tests from 1971 to 1974 These tests followed the 1966–1970 French nuclear tests series and preceded the 1975–1978 French nuclear tests.^[1]

AN 51

The AN 51 was a French tactical nuclear warhead used on the Pluton short range missile, the Pluton system was retired in 1992–93.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and AN 51

AN-52 bomb

The AN-52 was a French pre-strategic nuclear weapon carried by fighter bomber aircraft.

Dassault Mirage III

The Dassault Mirage III is a family of single/dual-seat, single-engine, fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by French aircraft company Dassault Aviation.

The elevation of a geographic ''location'' is its height above or below a fixed reference point, most commonly a reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface (see Geodetic datum § Vertical datum).

List of nuclear weapons

This is a list of nuclear weapons listed according to country of origin, and then by type within the states.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and List of nuclear weapons

MR 41

The MR 41 is a French-built thermonuclear warhead to be launched with the M1 and M2 missiles in ''Redoutable'' class ballistic missile submarines.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and MR 41

Nuclear fallout

Nuclear fallout is the residual radioactive material propelled into the upper atmosphere following a nuclear blast, so called because it "falls out" of the sky after the explosion and the shock wave has passed.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and Nuclear fallout

Nuclear weapon yield

The explosive yield of a nuclear weapon is the amount of energy released such as blast, thermal, and nuclear radiation, when that particular nuclear weapon is detonated, usually expressed as a TNT equivalent (the standardized equivalent mass of trinitrotoluene which, if detonated, would produce the same energy discharge), either in kilotonnes (kt—thousands of tonnes of TNT), in megatonnes (Mt—millions of tonnes of TNT), or sometimes in terajoules (TJ).

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and Nuclear weapon yield

Nuclear weapons testing

Nuclear weapons tests are experiments carried out to determine the performance, yield, and effects of nuclear weapons and have resulted until 2020 in up to 2.4 million people dying from its global fallout.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and Nuclear weapons testing

Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty

The Partial Test Ban Treaty (PTBT), formally known as the 1963 Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space and Under Water, prohibited all test detonations of nuclear weapons except for those conducted underground.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty

SEPECAT Jaguar

The SEPECAT Jaguar is an Anglo-French supersonic jet attack aircraft originally used by the British Royal Air Force and the French Air Force in the close air support and nuclear strike role.

Time zone

A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and Time zone

TN 60

The TN 60 was a French nuclear missile warhead.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and TN 60

TN 70

The TN 70 is a French-built thermonuclear warhead which was used on submarine-launched ballistic missiles in ''Redoutable'' class ballistic missile submarines.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and TN 70

TN 80

TN 80 was deployed between 1985 and 1991 as the warhead of the ASMP air-to-surface missile carried by the Dassault Mirage IVP bomber.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and TN 80

TNT equivalent

TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and TNT equivalent

Universal Time

Universal Time (UT or UT1) is a time standard based on Earth's rotation.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and Universal Time

1966–70 French nuclear tests

The France's 1966–1970 nuclear test series was a group of 22 nuclear tests conducted in 1966–1970. 1971–74 French nuclear tests and 1966–70 French nuclear tests are French nuclear weapons testing.

See 1971–74 French nuclear tests and 1966–70 French nuclear tests

1975–78 French nuclear tests

The 1975–1978 nuclear test series was a group of 29 nuclear tests conducted by France in 1975–1978. 1971–74 French nuclear tests and 1975–78 French nuclear tests are French nuclear weapons testing.
