While Weldon was on FOX a picture of one of these suitcase bombs was shown. It looked like a large pipe bomb laying diag in the suitcase. I was wondering what mat'l the casing was made of (alum, steel, titanium) and how much lead the interior was lined with to contain the radiation, etc. I'm just guessing but I would think that one of these suitcase bombs would contain quite a bit of weight to be lugging around. Any thoughts?

The "Davey Crockett" ( W-54 ) Tactical Nuclear Warhead

The W-54 probably represents a near minimum size for a spherical implosion device (the U.S. has conducted tests of a 25.4 cm implosion system however). The W-54 is certainly light enough by itself to be used in a "suit case bomb" but the closest equivalent to such a device that U.S. has ever deployed was a man-carried version called the Mk-54 SADM (Small Atomic Demolition Munition). This used a version of the W-54, but the whole package was much larger and heavier. It was a cylinder 40 cm by 60 cm, and weighed 68 kg (the actual warhead portion weighed only 27 kg). Although the Mk-54 SADM has itself been called a "suitcase bomb" it is more like a "steamer trunk" bomb, especially considering its weight
