The weapon was produced in two models; the enhanced radiation (ERW) W79 Mod 0 and fission-only W79 Mod 1. Both were plutonium -based linear-implosion nuclear weapons . The Mod 0 was a variable yield device with three yields, ranging from 100 tons of TNT (420 GJ ) up to 1.1 kt (4.6 TJ ) and an enhanced- radiation mode which could be turned on or off
