their next nuclear device was created. the RDS-4. The weapon originated from a small weapons research branch in the USSR. The device was composed of a boosted fission design with a levitated core.

make these bombs (Radiological Dispersion Device, n.d.). Also, because of that, there is not one standard specific model for Radiological Dispersal Devices; each device has their own unique characteristics.
