Was the knowledge from atom bomb used to make a nuclear reactor?
No, Enrico Fermi constructed and operated the first nuclear reactor (CP-1) in 1942. Several larger nuclear reactors were needed first to make the plutonium for the MK-3 Fatman atomic bomb, which was not tested until 1945. Their principles of operation are quite different, except that both operate by nuclear chain reaction.
How much power is in a megaton bomb?
A 1 Megaton (million ton) nuclear warhead has the destructive power of 1 million tons of TNT.The measurement comes from the use of TNT's explosive power in quantity. The Trinity test site at Alamogordo, New Mexico, prior to the first nuclear test, was calibrated using TNT prior to the main test.
How much nuclear bombs make a mega ton of dynamite?
A single 1 MTon bomb will do it, or four 250 KTon bombs, or a thousand 1 KTon bombs, etc. However more smaller bombs can spread the damage wider than one large bomb.

How big of an area would a nuclear bomb destroy?
The size of the area destroyed by a nuclear bomb depends on its yield. A small nuclear bomb with a yield of 1 kiloton could destroy buildings within a few city blocks, while a larger bomb with a yield of 1 megaton could impact several square miles. The damage would also vary based on the bomb's design, height of detonation, and local geography.

Why does a nuclear explosion contain nuclear energy?
that's what makes it work: a very sudden release of nuclear energy. This takes only 1 to 2 microseconds in a typical atomic bomb, a bit longer in a hydrogen bomb as each stage has to detonate the next one.
