A gross overpressurization producing an initial outward high wind effect
can't say exactly, but it would depend mostly on the yield and location of the explosion.
increase
High yield explosion in ionosphere.
The circumference of an atomic bomb explosion can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the blast radius of a typical atomic bomb explosion can extend several miles from the epicenter.
Depends mostly on where you are relative to it and the yield. Other variables include:weatherterrainyour clothsif you are in a building, its constructionwere you near a windowetc.
The size of a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the yield of the weapon. The explosions can range from several kilotons (thousands of tons of TNT) to megatons (millions of tons of TNT) of explosive power.
No, a nuclear explosion on a nuclear power plant would not cause the explosion radius to increase. The explosion radius would be determined by the yield of the nuclear weapon itself, not by the presence of the power plant.
On the island Novaya Zemlya in the USSR above the Arctic Circle in 1961. It was called Tsar Bomba (King of bombs) and had a yield of 52 MTons to 58 MTons, depending on how it was measured. The design (AN602) had a potential yield of 100 MTons, if they had wanted to go all the way.
Yes. an X kiloton of Nuclear bomb vs X kiloton of RDX/TNT. Nuclear Explosion is more destructive because apart from Shock wave and cloud of fire it will make the entire region Radio Active which will not only destroy the life and life forms currently present but will ruin that area for ages to come.
Lethal air blast range refers to the distance from the epicenter of an explosion, particularly from a nuclear detonation, within which the blast wave is strong enough to cause significant destruction and fatalities. This range varies depending on the yield of the explosion, with higher-yield detonations producing lethal effects over greater distances. Generally, the lethal air blast range can extend from a few hundred meters to several kilometers, depending on the specific circumstances of the explosion.
The Divider shot, the last shot of the Julin test series was conducted in 1992. This last test's exact yield was not released, but they were all under approx. 460 kilotons in yield.
The "Ivy King" shot conducted by the United States in 1952 had a yield of 500 kilotons. This test was part of Operation Ivy, a series of nuclear tests.
