How much TNT is equivalent to a nuke?
Thus, a 1 kiloton nuclear weapon is one which produces the same amount of energy in an explosion as does 1 kiloton (1,000 tons) of TNT. Similarly, a 1 megaton weapon would have the energy equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT.
How many tons of force is a nuclear bomb?
Nuclear bombs have had yields between 10 tons TNT (the W54) and 50 megatons for the Tsar Bomba (see TNT equivalent). A thermonuclear weapon weighing as little as 600 pounds (270 kg) can release energy equal to more than 1.2 megatonnes of TNT (5.0 PJ).
How many kilotons is the strongest nuclear bomb?
The largest pure-fission bomb ever constructed, Ivy King, had a 500 kiloton yield, which is probably in the range of the upper limit on such designs.
What is the maximum radius of a nuclear blast?
At 40 miles high, it penetrated the stratosphere. Everything within three dozen miles of the impact was vaporized, but severe damage extended to 150 miles radius—enough to entirely annihilate any modern major city, including suburbs.
Is a hydrogen bomb bigger than a nuke?
Hydrogen bombs cause a bigger explosion, which means the shock waves, blast, heat and radiation all have larger reach than an atomic bomb, according to Edward Morse, a professor of nuclear engineering at University of California, Berkeley.
What is the blast radius of a 200 kg bomb?
Bottom line: 200 kg pure TNT, with no casing or nearby objects to cause fragmentation, has a blast radius of around 16 m. It has lethal pressure-wave effects only a couple of times larger, maybe 30 to 50 m. For engineered munitions of this size, lethal radius is several times larger, 100 to 200 m.
What are your bench press standards based on?
Our bench press standards are based on 13,354,000 lifts by Strength Level users. Beg. These male standards were last updated June and are based on 2,469,000 filtered lifts. Note: these barbell standards include the weight of the bar, normally 20 kg / 44 lb. Beg.
What is the safety radius for 200 kg of TNT?
The safety radius for 200 kg of TNT is about 750 meters, unless it’s in the form of fragmentation devices.
