The most powerful nuclear bomb ever built was detonated by the USSR in 1961, it had a yield between 52 MTons to 58 MTons (depending on how it was measured). The design was capable of a maximum yield of 100 MTons, but was tested at reduced yield. It was a fully deliverable 3 stage thermonuclear fusion bomb and was tested by actually dropping it from a bomber exactly as it would be used in combat.

What is the most powerful type of nuclear bomb?

The most powerful type of nuclear bomb is the hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb. These bombs use a two-stage process, with an initial fission reaction triggering a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion compared to atomic bombs.


Which is most powerful the hydrogen bomb the atom bomb or the uranium bomb?

The 'uranium bomb' is an A-bomb and is a first generation nuclear weapon. The hydrogen bomb or H-bomb is a 2nd generation nuclear weapon and generally many times more powerful. 'H-bomb' can also refer to 3rd generation nuclear weapons that have an additional mass off uranium to provide further fuel, triggered by the 2nd generation fusion reaction; these are the most powerful. But recent studies show that the H-Bomb has more mass, therefore more energy, and therefore has more energy. So the H-bomb is more powerful.
