<p>The Air Force plans to take a closer look at the search for a hydrogen bomb off the coast of Georgia.</p><p>In 1958, the crew of a B-47 accidentally dropped the 7,600-pound bomb after it collided with another jet fighter. The military searched for the bomb for three months.</p><p>A group led by retired Air Force colonel Derek Duke might have discovered the bomb last month. They used equipment that detects radiation and large metal objects to scour an area the size of a football field in Wassau Sound, a shallow area near Tybee Beach.</p><p>Duke said that radiation levels were seven to 10 times greater than normal at one spot. The group then detected a massive underwater object, he said.</p><p>After hearing of Duke's report, the Air Force "thinks it's time to take a harder look at this issue," said Lt. Col. Frank Smolinksy, an Air Force spokesman.</p><p>Billy Mullins, associate director of Air Force Nuclear Weapons and Counterproliferation Agency, has said the bomb contains uranium and 400 pounds of explosives, but doesn't have a plutonium capsule. With no capsule, the bomb is incapable of creating a nuclear explosion.</p>
