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.

In Fallout 3 where is the tenpenny armourment?

Tenpenny is south west of megaton if you are planing on detonating the atom bomb in megaton you have to talk to a man named burk (i think that is how you spell his name) he hangs around the bar in megaton... after you talk to him the location of tenpenny should be marked on your map when you get to tenpenny go to the top and you should find the detonator o and one more thing have fun hahaha


Which is more destructive an atom bomb or a hydrigen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atom bomb. A hydrogen bomb releases much more explosive energy through nuclear fusion reactions, whereas an atom bomb relies on nuclear fission reactions. As a result, a hydrogen bomb can produce a significantly larger explosion and more widespread damage.


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.


Is the atom bomb and a nuke the same?

Yes, atom bomb and nuke are commonly used terms to refer to nuclear weapons that release destructive energy by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. In general, "nuke" is a more colloquial term while "atom bomb" is more formal.


What is the atom bomb?

The atom bomb is a bomb filled with uranium and/or plutonium and when dropped, explodes in mid-air to cause more damage. Anyone caught in the explosion would incinerated instantly.


Was the atom bomb used more than ounce?

the atom bomb was used not once, but twice. It was used on two cities in Japan, Nagasaki and Hiroshima.


How many kilotons makes a megaton?

1 million tons = 2 billion pounds or more commonly used as a measure of energy release in a nuclear bomb 4.184 petajoules


Why was the atom bomb in a tower?

Because that can to tan more people... :D


Why is Hydrogen bomb more destructive than atom bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atomic bomb because it has hydrogen. Hydrogen is highly flammable, and if a hydrogen bomb exploded with enough force and just enough fire, a huge wide area of a fiery explosion will occur. This is more destructive than the atomic bomb. Fire basically engulfs everything and destroys all in its path, making for an effective bomb.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wrong!Hydrogen does not burn in a hydrogen bomb, it fuses releasing atomic energy too. This fusion reaction is over in microseconds, much faster than combustion can start; also it reaches temperatures in the tens of millions of degrees, much hotter than any chemical fire or fission bomb. The reason a fusion bomb is usually more destructive than a fission bomb is the fusion bomb has no upper limit on yield, the fission bomb cannot be built with a yield over 1 megaton. One can just keep adding fusion stages until you get the desired yield.


Is the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb and why?

Yes, the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb. This is because it relies on nuclear fusion, which releases much more energy than nuclear fission, the process used in atomic bombs. The sheer power of the hydrogen bomb makes it capable of causing significantly greater devastation.
