It allows a user to simulate a nuclear detonation (with several possible parameters, including explosive yield and height of burst) anywhere on the world.
The practical maximum yield-to-weight ratio for fusion weapons (thermonuclear weapons) has been estimated to six megatonnes of TNT per tonne of bomb mass (25 TJ/kg). Yields of 5.2 megatonnes/tonne and higher have been reported for large weapons constructed for single-warhead use in the early 1960s. [ 1 ]
NUKEMAP is a mapping mash-up that calculates the effects of the detonation of a nuclear bomb.
The blast model in this website is a simulation showing the destruction damage that the nuclear weapon can inflict on human, structures at the ground-level, low and high altitude . A new map simulation is coming soon. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II yielded 15 kilotons.
A typical thermonuclear weapon has a yield on the order of several million tons of TNT or about as destructive one truck bomb for every person in Brooklyn. (One ton of TNT is equal to 4.184 GJ by definition.) Given a "small" hydrogen bomb with an explosive yield of one megaton, determine… the mass destroyed in its detonation
The Hydrogen Bomb: Schematic. The yield of a hydrogen bomb is controlled by the amounts of lithium deuteride and of additional fissionable materials. Uranium 238 is usually the material used in various parts of the bomb's design to supply additional neutrons for the fusion process.
