2. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

   TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion. A ton of TNT equivalent is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie). [1] It is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of trinitrotoluene (TNT).

3. Nuclear weapon yield - Wikipedia

   The highest achieved values are somewhat lower, and the value tends to be lower for smaller, lighter weapons, of the sort that are emphasized in today's arsenals, designed for efficient MIRV use or delivery by cruise missile systems. The 25 Mt yield option reported for the B41 would give it a yield-to-mass ratio of 5.1 megatonnes of TNT per tonne.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton

   A ton of TNT or tonne of TNT is a unit of energy equal to 10 9 (thermochemical) calories, also known as a gigacalorie (Gcal), equal to 4.184 gigajoules (GJ). A kiloton of TNT or kilotonne of TNT is a unit of energy equal to 10 12 calories, also known as a teracalorie (Tcal), equal to 4.184 terajoules (TJ).
