None. An Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima (Japan) on 06 August 1945, which along with the Nagasaki (Japan) Atomic Bomb dropped on 09 August 1945, brought an end to World War Two. At present, that was the FIRST and LAST time atomic weapons have been used in war. The Korean War started 5 years later and in a different country (Korea).
Kilotons are used to measure the power of atomic bombs. A kiloton is the power equivalent of 1000 tons of TNT, a chemical explosive used in bombs. A 15 kiloton atomic bomb has the power of 15,000 tons of TNT.
The biggest result was no weapons of mass destruction were used, like the atomic bombs used in WWII. The Korean War was a 'limited war."
Over 7.8 million tons of ordnance were dropped during the Vietnam War. 3 times more than was dropped in all of WWII.
None. Nuclear weapons have not been, nor are likely to, authorized for use.
Typical conventional bombs have explosive yields approximately equal to their physical weight, the largest yield conventional bomb of WW2 was the British Tallboy which weighed 6 tons and had a yield of nearly 3 tons. The first atomic bomb dropped in WW2 the Little Boy weighed just under 5 tons and had a yield of about 15000 tons equivalent. Comparing them, the first atomic bomb had a weight slightly less than the largest conventional bomb used in WW2 but the yield was about 5000 times larger!

General MacArthur wanted atomic bombs for use in the Korean War, but he was denied their use by President Truman. Only two atomic bombs have been used in warfare to date, both in WWII against Japan.
No atomic bombs were used in the Korean War and there were never any plans to use them. Possibly the existence of atomic weapons had some small effect.
The WW2 B-29 Superfortress (the same type that dropped the atomic bombs) were used during the Korean War.

Before the very scientifically complex atomic bomb, other bombs are just basically tons of explosive stuff jammed into a bombshell, so it wasn't too advanced there.
48 -- Carbon Dioxide bombs 27 -- Pipe bombs 11 -- 1.5 gallon propane bombs 7 -- gas or napalm bombs 2 -- 20 pound propane bombs
690 tons
Einsteinium is not used in bombs.
Many atomic bombs were detonated for "test" purposes. Fortunately none were used in war.
