[QUOTE="Petros2015, post: 76248701, member: 388403"] Hiroshima was 15 kilotons So... about 1,500x Hiroshima That... would be pretty significant Castle Bravo was the most powerful nuclear weapon the US ever tested, it was 15 megatons. Accidentally, apparently. Oops! [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Bravo#High_yield"]Castle Bravo - Wikipedia[/URL] "The yield of 15 megatons was triple that of the 5 Mt predicted by its designers ... The unexpectedly high yield of the device severely damaged many of the permanent buildings on the control site island on the far side of the atoll. Little of the desired diagnostic data on the shot was collected; many instruments designed to transmit their data back before being destroyed by the blast were instead vaporized instantly, while most of the instruments that were expected to be recovered for data retrieval were destroyed by the blast. ... In an additional unexpected event, albeit one of far less consequence, X-rays traveling through line-of-sight (LOS) pipes caused a small second fireball at Station 1200 with a yield of 1 kiloton of TNT (4.2 TJ)." Surprise! [/QUOTE]
