The energy content of bombs and explosions is measured in equivalent tons of TNT. A one-kiloton explosion is equivalent to detonating one-thousand tons of TNT, also a one-megaton is equivalent of one-million tons of TNT.
14 Σεπ 2024 · The explosive yield of atomic bombs is measured in kilotons (one kiloton equals the explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT) while the explosive power of thermonuclear bombs is frequently expressed in megatons (one megaton equals the explosive force of 1,000,000 tons of TNT).
Log–log plot comparing the yield (in kilotonnes) and mass (in kilograms) of various nuclear weapons developed by the United States. The explosive yield of a nuclear weapon is the amount of energy released such as blast, thermal, and nuclear radiation, when that particular nuclear weapon is detonated, usually expressed as a TNT equivalent (the ...
NUKEMAP is a website for visualizing the effects of nuclear detonations.
1 Μαρ 2022 · These schematic diagrams show two fission bomb designs. The left is a gun type bomb, which is the type that was used on Hiroshima; the right is an implosion type bomb, which is the type used on Nagasaki.
12 Οκτ 2024 · Nuclear weapons produce enormous explosive energy. Their significance may best be appreciated by the coining of the words kiloton (1,000 tons) and megaton (1,000,000 tons) to describe their blast energy in equivalent weights of the conventional chemical explosive TNT.
The bomb used on Hiroshima contained approximately 50 kg (100 pounds) of. U-235, yet packed the explosive power of 15,000 tons. (30 million pounds) of TNT. If all of the U-235 fuel had fissioned, the yield would have been 500 kilotons. The actual yield was only 3% of that figure.
