"Neutron bombs are also known as enhanced radiation bombs (ERBs). The bomb
was invented by physicist Samuel T. Cohen in the early 1970s. The intent of
the bomb was to make a "nicer nuke" that did its job of eliminating enemy
troops with minimal collateral damage to civilians or infrastructure. The
Pope was so excited by the neutron bomb that he gave Cohen a peace medal in
1979. Another "ethical" aspect of the bomb is the low quantity of enduring
radioactivity it leaves in its wake."
