Log–log plot comparing the yield (in kilotonnes) and mass (in kilograms) of various nuclear weapons developed by the United States.. The explosive yield of a nuclear weapon is the amount of energy released such as blast, thermal, and nuclear radiation, when that particular nuclear weapon is detonated, usually expressed as a TNT equivalent (the standardized equivalent mass of trinitrotoluene ...
TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion.The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie), [1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric tonne (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden signed an executive order designating Christmas Eve as a federal holiday for most employees.
Sycamore, a clean test, was a fizzle, producing only 92 kilotonnes of TNT (380 TJ) instead of the predicted 5 megatonnes of TNT (21 PJ). Poplar was a retest of Sycamore with a predicted yield of 5 to 10 megatonnes of TNT (21 to 42 PJ) and only 200 kilotonnes of TNT (840 TJ) fission yield. The actual yield was 9.3 megatonnes of TNT (39 PJ).
