[@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.

Completely useless though as a military weapon. It was sooooo big that it would devestate multiple targets all at once. It would effect the country next to the one you were destroying and everyone else within an enormous radius. It would have been very demorilizing to a population as a strategic counter value weapon though and very very scary. The full 100 Megaton yield would blow a hole in the atmosphere and alot of the energy would go straight up and out though rather than be used to devestate its target. Teller calculated that 100 Megatons is really the very top of any sort of useful yield and would probably be too much in reality. It was just too big. It seems to have been more of a political statement than feasible weapon.

[@SurfTheSkyline]

@@hairytentacle3924 If Google translation worked properly for me this is mostly correct, however I believe Castle Bravo produced its greater than expected yield because scientists thought Lithium-7 would not contribute at all to the bomb's power which obviously was almost as wrong as you could possibly be. In reality Lithium-7 under the conditions created by the bomb contributed similarly to Lithium-6 which is why instead of the explosion yielding approximately 5 megatons it resulted in approximately 15 megatons. Castle Bravo was a nightmare of a test that was honestly lucky it didn't go even worse, so great job to the Soviet scientists who (as far as I know) didn't make any similar errors with this bomb and actually decided to be cautious (it feels funny that detonating a 50 megaton bomb could ever be considered cautious).

That is a matter of opinion. The primary atomic bombs that started the fusion reaction still produced over a megaton of fission product. Had the shockwave not prevented the fireball from scorching the ground or the fact they detonated it 17 thousand feet the contamination would be colossal. Even with the bomb the way it was- Sakharov predicted 500 thousand deaths worldwide from that contamination alone. 2 ounces of uranium fissioned equals 100 thousand tons of pure radium as far as radioactivity in the atmosphere.

[@markhugo8270]

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.

It was tested at 1/2 power. It was suppose to be a 100 Megatone Bomb

[@narufan987]

I think it's the biggest ever detonated, not the biggest ever made

@@ShiftyTribes Why did you say that?? It was tested at half power.

My grandpa worked on Novaya Zemlya when this happened. Claimed their work there led to the end of Cold War.

Where on the islands did he work? At Belushya?

[@kingkeeper99]

Paradoxically maybe he was right... But although it set a limit for nuclear development and created the fear that was the base of negociations between the US a Russia, it didn't stopped the proxy wars worldwide, where the cold war has never been "cold" but violently heated.

[@skoddetid7444]

Maybe this bomb escalated the race but I would argue the nuclear arms race started at the moment America used these weapons on Japan. And wasn't the US first with both the fission- and fusion bomb? Any powerful nation witnessing this technological development would seriously consider starting their own nuclear program. Or perhaps the nuclear arms race started already during WW2 since Germany had their own program.

[@vast634]

Without atomic bombs on both sides, there would likely have been a conventional war, on the scale or bigger than WW2. In this sense the bombs kept the peace.

I love how innocuous the scene is at 2:07. Little does anyone know that the cute little train is hauling a 58 Megaton behemoth.
