High explosives lenses of the sort apparently in the primaries of modern nuclear weapons. "Cutaway models of 30-cm (top) and 10-cm (bottom) diameter plane-wave HE lenses. The larger lens shows colors similar to those commonly used for lenses of this kind." The colored area is the fast explosive, the interior white areas are the slow explosives.
