For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Folks need to recall that Hydrogen bombs are based on nuclear fusion, compared to their less destructive brothers, Atomic bombs based on nuclear fission. A hydrogen bomb also relies on the energy released from an onboard A-bomb fission reactor to heat and compress the hydrogen which then triggers the fusion H-Bomb. Recall the extreme heat at 7 times the core of the sun, at the prototype fusion installation in South Korea. Hmm a very significant combination, fitting the reference posted under the caption Potential for explosions Headline: Comparing the Hydrogen Bomb and the Atomic Bomb Click Here What Is an Atomic Bomb? The energy output of the reaction can range from the equivalent of about a ton of the explosive trinitrotoluene, or TNT, to as much as 500 kilotons of TNT. (kiloton equals 1,000 tons of TNT) What Is a Hydrogen Bomb? Hydrogen bombs can have much higher yields than atomic bombs, equivalent to megatons of TNT. (megaton equals one million tons of TNT) The Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated, was a hydrogen bomb with a 50-megaton yield. |
