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]

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.

Luckily by then he had lost favour with the brass and was being pushed out. He already wasn't officially part of the program when Ivy Mike was detonated. That's why he was watching the seismometer.

[@CeoOfTheFlowState]

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.

In case you are wondering why there was "no radioactivity" directly below the center of the blast (4000 meters or 12,000 FT) it's because the neutron flux, although considerable...was not enough to "activate" the ground below the blast. In the case of other USA and USSR testing, with bombs on relatively short (100' or less) towers, the neutron flux was able to "activate" the materials thrown up from the ground, and loft those activated particles into the air, to be distributed over long distances ( 20 to 200 miles, depending on prevailing winds). The fallout then, and now, and forever, consists of activation products with short enough 1/2 lives, that after about 2 weeks, you are down to about 10 to 30 X's "background" which is very survivable.

[@pamike4873]

It's not so much neutron bombardment as it is fission products mixing with debris. The reason Tsar Bomba was so clean is due to a few factors. The designers used lead for the tamper instead of the usual U-238. They knew it would be a disaster if they stuck with U-238. The fallout would've been massive and widespread. Another reason, not so much a choice, was most of the yield came from fusion. The crazy thing about fission- you can make tea or incinerate a city. It all comes down to whether you use a generator or a moderator. Anyway, all modern thermonuclear weapons are fission-fusion-fission-fusion-fission devices. Bear with me here... A modern warhead starts life as a fission bomb. That fission sets the stage for the fusion reaction to start. U-238, which doesn't fission under any other condition, will start to fission from the heat and pressure of the fusion stage. In turn, that additional fission acts like a neutron generator and causes additional fusion reactions to occur while also providing neutrons for the original primary, so it can burn more of its fuel. This all happens before the bomb casing even starts to expand. Pretty wild stuff. The term "shake" came from the Manhattan Project since they needed a word for the time between fission events. So, the fact that they used lead instead of U-238, most of the yield was produced from fusion, and selected a HOB to keep the fireball high enough = "clean" detonation. On the subject of fallout, don't forget the 7/10 rule. Gamma radiation can really ruin a good party.

Although it was able to accommodate 224 passengers, when operated by Aeroflot, it was more common to provide 170 sleeping berths and a dining lounge.

Imagine it being 100 megatons of TNT. That would of course double the effects. So lets get right into it. The visible distance of the flare would be 2,000 kilometers meaning that you would see the flare from Estonia's capital city, Tallinn. Same goes for the inhabitants of Helsinki, and St. Peterburg. So yeah, you decided to wake up in a nice morning only to see a mushroom cloud from that far. The shock wave would be greater and would have travelled the world up to 6 times. The mushroom cloud would rise up to over 100 kilometers. The fallout would be even greater that all of Novaya Zemlya would become a nuclear wasteland. The fallout wouldn't be problematic since the Soviets were kind about people and added small amounts of uranium making it one of the cleanest nuclear tests. Had the bomb contained uranium in its 100 megaton yield as planned, then all of the polar life would be most likely screwed for. Environmental impact from such radiation will certainly lead to a small chance of a nuclear winter and it will not only devastate the Soviet economy and health, it will also affect other countries such as Norway, Finland, Greenland, Sweden, Canada, and the United States. So if the bomb went on as planned, it would practically cause a major global catastrophe with its sheer power. And keep this in mind, that would be just one bomb to cause something like this on a global scale.
