Very good story, but is disarming a large conventional bomb any worse? There is only one level of dead, whenther from a small or large or incredible size blast, all you can be is dead.
In 1952, it probably was not an issue. How big of a blast is needed to destroy all the DNA and leave no trace that you ever existed?
an hear aye was thinking the worst job was climbing the tower...street shoes... four reel? safety took a day off😉
