    The Soviet RDS-220 hydrogen bomb (code name Ivan or Vanya), also known as Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бо́мба, tr. Tsar'-bómba, IPA: [t͡sarʲ ˈbombə], lit. 'Tsar bomb'), was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested. Tested on 30 October 1961 as an experimental verification of calculation principles and multi-stage thermonuclear weapon designs, it also remains the most powerful human-made explosive ever detonated.
    The bomb was detonated 4000 m above the Sukhoy Nos ("Dry Nose") cape of Severny Island, Novaya Zemlya, 15 km (9.3 mi) from Mityushikha Bay, north of Matochkin Strait. The detonation was secret but was detected by US Intelligence agencies. The US apparently had an instrumented KC-135R aircraft (Operation SpeedLight) in the area of the test - close enough to have been scorched by the blast.
    The bhangmeter results and other data suggested the bomb yielded about 58 megatons of TNT [Mt] (240 PJ), and that was the accepted yield in technical literature until 1991 when Soviet scientists revealed that their instruments indicated a yield of 50 Mt (210 PJ). As they had the instrumental data and access to the test site, their yield figure has been accepted as more accurate. In theory, the bomb would have had a yield in excess of 100 Mt (420 PJ) if it had included a uranium-238 fusion tamper but, because only one bomb was built to completion, that capability has never been demonstrated.
    The remaining bomb casings are located at the Russian Atomic Weapon Museum in Sarov and the Museum of Nuclear Weapons, All-Russian Research Institute of Technical Physics, at Snezhinsk.

      @furious_gaming14furious_ga91 3 года назад +388

      Hmm... For several reasons they did reduce the yield from 100 megatons to 50 megatons. They did this by filling part of the bomb with lead. The purpose was
      1: Most of the blast would vent uselessly into space if the yield was any greater.
      2: The head science behind the project didn’t have a clue over the effects or need for such a weapon and did not want a catastrophe for fear of the power.
      This was still by far the most powerful detonation of any device nuclear or not by humans in history.

      step 4 : detonate the largest atomic bomb made on Earth on top of it
      step 5 : enjoy the sight of the atoms of your pancake preparation fly by for the short amount of time before you get vaporized.

      "nukes" or "atomic bombs" are a hoax. They don´t even exist. The "footages" look like very bad special effects, the most laughable are the small scale building models being destroyed. It´s just fearmongering to control people. There are some good videos on youtube debunking atomic bombs (the explosions you see are just huge TNT explosions). But the best material on this is a book written by a japanese. The book is called "Death Object: Exploding The Nuclear Weapons Hoax" by Akio Nakatani. Highly recommend this read.

    Even today, this remains the world's biggest bomb ever tested. The 50 megaton Tsar was dropped by the Soviet Airforce in 1961 over Novaya Zemlya in the Artic Ocean. Windows shattered on houses about 560 miles away. The mushroom cloud rose above the stratosphere and the shockwave traveled three times around the earth. And remember, they could have made it double as powerful. But it could still pale in comparison to what earth herself could do. Imagine an explosive eruption 50 times bigger than the Tsar Bomba, and you have the strength of a level 8 eruption of a super volcano.

    The Shrimp test device was basically a scaled down version of the Runt device tested in Castle Romeo, but with partially enriched lithium as fuel. Its weight was a comparatively light 23,500 lb, and it was 179.5 in long and 53.9 in wide. The fuel consisted of 37-40% enriched lithium-6 deuteride encased in a natural uranium tamper. 10 Mt of the yield was from fast fission of the tamper. The Shrimp also tested light case design, substituting an aluminium exterior case for the steel used in the Sausage (tested in Ivy Mike). It used a RACER IV fusion boosted primary.
    The reason for the unexpectedly high yield was due to the "tritium bonus" provided by the lithium-7 isotope which made up most of the lithium. This isotope was expected to be essentially inert, but in fact it had a substantial reaction cross section with the high energy neutrons produced by tritium-deuterium fusion. When one of these high energy neutrons collided with a lithium-7 atom, it could fragement it into a tritium and a helium atom. Tritium was the most valuable fusion fuel, being both highly reactive and causing extremely energetic fusion, so this extra source of tritium greatly increased the weapon yield.
    The Bravo crater in the atoll reef had a diameter of 6510 ft, with a depth of 250 ft. Within one minute the mushroom cloud had reached 50,000 feet (15 km), breaking 100,000 feet (30 km) two minutes later. The cloud top rose and peaked at 130,000 feet (almost 40 km) after only six minutes. Eight minutes after the test the cloud had reached its full dimensions with a diameter of 100 km, a stem 7 km thick, and a cloud bottom rising above 55,000 feet (16.5 km).
    Castle Bravo's yield was 15 megatons of TNT, 2.5 times the predicted 6.0 megatons, due to unforeseen additional reactions involving lithium-7, which led to the unexpected radioactive contamination of areas to the east of Bikini Atoll. At the time, it was the most powerful artificial explosion in history.

It's not really a 'click-bait' comment posted by the user to garnish 'like' comments; in the same way that posting such comments about US nuclear tests from the 1950s isn't a new 'Cold War' between the Superpowers - and it shouldn't be seen as such !
