Forums - General - Most powerful Nuclear bomb in America being dismantled!

They should shoot it into space and blow it up...that would be a pretty cool looking firework!

But seriously how much damage would have this nuke done?

Well considering Little Man had a blast Radius of 1 mile, and this was 600 times stronger......  

I doubt it would be a direct correlation,  but I imagine the blast radius would exceed 50 miles with the fallout raidus coming closer to 500 miles.  These are all guess based on tests of other comparable sized nukes.

I'm not really a fan of the OP posting this story just to be snide about it. I mean, they said it was a "milestone", which it is, not that they've fixed everything now.

Would you rather they HADN'T dismantled it?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Whats scary about that is the Tzar Bomba was teted at 50% of its possible yeild.

Actually yes,  unless they are doing this to make a bigger one.

0_o Am I to believe the Russians have one that could pretty much take out a large country (Tzar)?
