Samuel T. Cohen, Neutron Bomb Inventor, Dies at 89 - NYTimes.com:

"In contrast to strategic warheads, which can kill millions and level cities, and smaller short-range tactical nuclear arms designed to wipe out battlefield forces, the neutron bomb minimized blast and heat. Instead, it maximized a barrage of infinitesimal neutrons that could zip through tanks, buildings and other structures and killed people, usually by destroying the central nervous system, and all other life forms."
