I, for one, would like to point out that at least 90% of the radioactive material should go to scientific research, if not 99.9 (i suppose we gotta keep at least 1 bomb for deterrence). The level of illogic that comes from having the capability to blow up the entire planet 100 times over as opposed to even just one is so grand that the entire planet of Vulcan would shake their heads in a baffled display of shame and outrage. That is, if Vulcans had feelings.
