Tsar Bomba was the most powerful nuclear weapon detonated and was the most powerful anthropogenic explosion in human history. It had a yield of 50 megatons of TNT, scaled down from its maximum 100 megaton design yield. [ 8 ]
In comparison, the next three high fusion-yielding devices were all much too high in total explosive yield for oil and gas stimulation: the 50-megaton Tsar Bomba achieved a yield 97% derived from fusion, [26] while in the US, the 9.3-megaton Hardtack Poplar test is reported as 95.2%, [27] and the 4.5-megaton Redwing Navajo test as 95% derived ...
