When was the first megaton atomic bomb built?
A pure fission atomic bomb with a yield of a megaton or more is theoretically impossible. The problem is that the chain reaction would happen spontaneously before the device could even be completely built and the bomb parts would melt, resulting in a fizzle and killing everyone building it.The first fusion atomic bomb (commonly called a hydrogen bomb) was tested in 1952 as Ivy Mike and had a 10 megaton yield. The highest yield pure fission atomic bomb ever built was also tested in 1952 as Ivy King and had a 500 kilotons yield.
How can India produce of 1 megaton fusion bomb?
By incorporating lithium in a "normal" fission weapon: the so called "dirty h-bomb".
What is the biggest nuclear weapon?
The most powerful nuclear weapon detonated was the Tsar Bomb which was a 50 megaton thermo-nuclear bomb that was tested in October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago
Does the US have a 200 megaton nuclear bomb?
No, the largest ever built were 25 megaton warheads for the Titan II. But these were never installed on missiles, instead 9 megaton warheads were used. All Titan ICBMs are long retired and there were only 50 built total. Currently the largest yield US bombs are roughly 600 kilotons.
What is the most powerful nuclear weapon in the us?
The most powerful currently in the US stockpile is the 1.2 megaton B83 freefall gravity bomb.The most powerful ever designed in the US was a 35 megaton warhead for the Titan ICBM, but never built. The Titan ICBM carried a 9 megaton W-53 warhead, the most powerful on a US missile. The most powerful ever built in the US was the 25 megaton B41 3-stage freefall gravity bomb.
What is the largest megaton bomb?
atom bomb
Which is more damaging Atom bomb or megaton bomb?
Well there is no "Megaton" bombs, but there are hydrogen bombs in the megaton range and they are a lot more powerful. An Atomic bomb can destroy a city. A Hydrogen bomb can destroy a country.
What would be the radius of a 300 megaton bomb?
Sorry, my nuclear bomb effects circular slide rule only goes up to 100MTon yield.
Damage of 100 megaton bomb?
it can blow up tekos

What is the most giant hydrogen bomb?
The 50 Megaton "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb tested by the USSR in 1961 is the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. The 10 Megaton "Ivy Mike" hydrogen bomb tested by the U.S. in 1952 is the physically largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.
How big would a nuke need to be to take out Salt Lake City?
Salt Lake City covers an area of 110.4 square miles. To simplify the calculation I will assume this is circular (which it isn't). Thus the estimated radius of the city is 5.9 miles. 5 psi dynamic maximum overpressure (which will damage or destroy most conventional structures) can be produced at this range by a 25 megaton bomb. 50 psi dynamic maximum overpressure (which will destroy all but hardened structures) can be produced at this range by a 400 megaton bomb. No bomb of this yield has ever been built. Fires ignited by thermal radiation can be produced at this range by a 1 megaton bomb and it is likely these could merge into a firestorm that would destroy the city. However it is very unlikely that a single bomb would be used, instead six to ten 100 kiloton to 300 kiloton bombs scattered across the area would produce more damage at less cost.
What would be the blast radius of a 200 megaton nuclear bomb?
Well i did some rough estimates...prob be like 56 milesA blast radius is equal to the square root of the megatonage. A 1 megaton bomb has a blast radius of severe damage of about 4 miles. Therefore a 200 megaton bomb (14 being about the square root) would have about a 56 mile radius. Though direct exposure to the explosion at that distance could probably still cause severe burns and it would probably cause damage as much as 200 miles out.
What is greater a megaton bomb or an atomic bomb?
Megaton is a measurement of yield. Atomic bomb is a type of bomb and can have a wide range of yields.Your question is equivalent to asking "Which is greater a tablespoon or a disposable plastic picnic spoon?" Tablespoon is a measurement of volume. Disposable plastic picnic spoon is a type of spoon.You cannot compare incompatible things.
How big does a nuclear bomb expand?
That depends on the cube root of the yield. The fireball of a 10 megaton bomb reaches about 3 miles diameter.
How can India produce of 1 megaton fusion bomb?
By incorporating lithium in a "normal" fission weapon: the so called "dirty h-bomb".
How do you buy a house in Fallout 3?
You can get one in Megaton, but you have to choose not to blow it up; and they will give you a house.You can get a suit in Tenpenny Tower, but you have to blow up Megaton; and Tenpenny will give you a suit.
