The OS-132 Shaped Portable Thermonuclear Charge is a man portable explosive charge that uses nuclear fission to cause an extreme explosion. The nature of the weapon is such that it provides an extremely devastating nuclear explosion within a relatively small area of effect. The explosion itself can level nearly any structure within a 500 meter radius. In addition, it emanates a powerful radiation field in an area of 1.5 kilometers that can cause serious injury or death the closer an unprotected being gets to the epicenter. This radiation can linger for years or even decades before dissipating on it's own. Certain hazardous material clean-up methods can reduce this timeframe.
