SCP-1068 A harmless nuke | object class safe
Item #: SCP-1068
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Packaged SCP-1068s are to be kept in a large underground storage
site beneath Site-76.
The walls of the room are to be soundproofed and electromagnetically shielded so as to
prevent damage to other facilities.
Researchers should wear shaded goggles, ear plugs, and ear muffs to prevent permanent
sensory damage when handling or experimenting with SCP-1068.
Records should be kept through non-electronic medium.
Any detonations are to be scheduled in advance and communicated to all personnel to avoid
confusion with the standard on-site nuclear device.
Any examples of SCP-1068 outside of Foundation control are to be seized discreetly and brought
to Site-76 via armored transport.
In the event of an SCP-1068 activation outside of the site's perimeters, all available Foundation
diplomatic resources are to be dispatched into negotiations to pacify both national
and international relevant governing bodies and, if necessary, inform them of the nature
of SCP-1068.
Description: SCP-1068 are model rockets approximately a meter in length.
They resemble a simplified version of the LGM-30 ICBM model and are covered in unpainted
white plastic with the words 'ATOM BUSTER' etched in one side.
Dis-assembly of the objects exposes a cylindrical fuel tank and engine assembly filled with
an ethanol-[DATA EXPUNGED] mixture.
A 30-cm-long fuse leads out of the rocket's base and is the primary method of ignition.
When activated, SCP-1068 will launch at a velocity of 45 meters per second before falling
back down to the ground and exploding.
Upon detonation, SCP-1068 activates an intense bright light and loud sound similar to those
of a conventional nuclear device.
It will also release a weak radio wave pulse similar to an EMP, temporarily knocking out
all electronic communications within a radius of █ km and preventing any further close
observation of and communication with the area for up to 20 hours.
Immediately following detonation, a large column of low density non-toxic gases will
rise up from the point of detonation, coalescing into a shape similar to the mushroom cloud
released by extreme temperatures.
For all intents and purposes, the event will resemble a fission reaction without actually
causing any harm beyond sensory damage.
SCP-1068 comes contained in red cylindrical cardboard packaging shaped to resemble a simplified
missile silo.
On the front there is a clear plastic window to show off the model, along with a price
tag of $19.99 (US).
On the back of the box are a description of the object, several safety labels and warnings,
and an artist's rendition of the explosion of the Trinity nuclear test.
