That's actually not the case at all. a bomb with that big of a yield is simply impractical. Modern nukes are smaller.

Modern nukes are more about pinpoint accuracy and ease of remote deployment than they are about the size of the explosion. While we probably could make a 100mt+ nuke and have a drone drop it (since no plane could escape a blast that size in time), but 1-2 megatons is still enough to wipe out a large city and those can fit on ICBMs and nuclear submarines.

The bomb had a power of 51 Mt. The original design would have had 100 Mt in theory. Three uranium layers in the second stage were replaced with lead to cut the power. The reason for that is the uncertainty of the scientists of how mutch radioactive waste would be created. The pilots knew that their survival chance is 50%.

The pronouncement of “Reading” made me come to the comment section

[@scmtuk3662]

It's "pronunciation" not "pronouncement". But that's because English is weird. announce (verb) = announcement (noun) pronounce (verb) = -pronouncement- pronunciation (noun) -enounce- enunciate (verb) = enunciation (noun) So, why is it announcement but pronunciation? Why not pronouncement, or annunciation? Why is it to enunciate, but to pronounce or announce, and not to enounce, or to pronunciate or annunciate? More to the point, who cares? This is about reading. I mean redding.

[@SRG5101]

american say words how there spelt, like birm - ing - ham or mos - cow hahahaha

[@scmtuk3662]

​@@SRG5101 Yeah. Except when they don't. Like "herbs" being pronounced as "erbs", for example.

[@joeleighton5851]

The bomb at castle bravo, bikini atoll was 15 megatons.

Mutual assured destruction is a doctrine of military strategy. The use of nuclear weapons would all but guarantee the destruction of the attacker as well as defender. One of the main reasons the Cold War never escalated any further.

[@ExecutionStyleInc]

yeah it's not worth it, any where you use it you have to literally rebuild everything from ground up.

[@michaelm6172]

additionally, it is theoreticallly possible that a tsar bomba dropped on a tectonic plate could split the planet into many parts

[@kerplunc9192]

It's pronounced redding as in past tense of read

[@jeffo1017]

The Cener Depends where you live, here in Australia it’s pronounced as ‘ree-ding’ and I’ve never heard it as Redding but you learn something new everyday.

[@Nnamruto]

@@jeffo1017 Unless you have a city/town named Reading too in Australia I don't see how your opinion is even valid here. British people from Britain, where Reading is located, call it red-ding

[@nobby5530]

Im from reading and its pronounced red-ing

[@jotsingh4572]

Rick Flair I was so confused when I was looking at all these thinking how stupid is everyone, then I saw ur comment and realized it was a place not the word “read”

[@SmokeyTube]

Man i wish it was “how big was the explosion” so I could make a mom joke.
