By clean, I guess they mean relatively little nuclear fallout after the blast, meaning that the effects of irradiation do not remain for a very long period of time.

Hmm. Had another look at the numbers and it makes no sense, so what I said earlier is probably inaccurate. I still think that 1.2km is too small for a device of near 1MT, though. [[User:Diaboy|Diaboy]] 15:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC) | |||

Size... of a football, eh? This could make a great weapon in Halo Custom Edition in a big map like Coldsnap or Hugeass... The Guardians 09:05, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, Guesty-Persony-Thingy, you could have at least added something to this page... :( The Guardians 02:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
"Extremely clean..." I'm guessing that means, somehow, little or no radioactivity. Arm. Violently insert in Brute's mouth. Get in a vehicle and haul ass! StAraqiel 17:40, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Lol, or just chucking them everywhere off a starship & nuke the planet to a crisp lololololol The Guardians 01:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Though you have to wonder what it is extremely clean in comparison too. For all we know, this still could release a whole lot of radiation, but compared to other UNSC nukes, is just a drop in the bucket. Beats me.XRoadToDawnX 11:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Hmm... uh... wait, you could use these things to destroy... Scarabs! If it does radiate, all the better to wipe out the survivors. The Guardians 07:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
