File:Comparative nuclear fireball sizes.svg

[edit] Summary

Description	English: A simple graphic showing comparative nuclear fireball radii for a number of different tests and warheads. From largest to smallest, the radiuses are: Tsar Bomba — 50 Mt — 4.6 km (2.9 mi) Castle Bravo — 15 Mt — 2.84 km (1.76 mi) W59 warhead (Minuteman missile) — 1 Mt — 0.96 km (0.60 mi) W88 warhead (Peacekeeper missile) — 350 kt — 0.64 km (0.4 mi) Fat Man bomb (dropped on Nagasaki, Japan) — 18 kt — 0.2 km (0.1 mi) Note that these are only for the fireball component of the explosion — radiation, blast, and heat would extend far beyond these distances (i.e. for the Tsar Bomba, anyplace with 6.56 km would receive 500 rems of radiation, there would be near total fatalities for the air blast within 9.95 km, structural damage at 26.26 km, and third-degree burns at 58 km). This is meant only to give some means of comprehending the differences in scale between different weapon designs. Suomi: Graafinen esitys eri ydinlatausten tulipallojen säteistä. Säteet suurimmasta pienimpään ovat: Tsar Bomba — 50 Mt — 4.6 km Castle Bravo — 15 Mt — 2.84 km W59 ydinkärki (Minuteman ohjus) — 1 Mt — .96 km W88 ydinkärki (Peacekeeper ohjus) — 350 kt — .64 km Fat Man pommi (pudotettiin Nagasakiin) — 18 kt — .2 km Huomaa, että esitettynä on vain tulipallojen säde — radioaktiivinen laskeuma, paineaalto ja kuumuus leviävät huomattavasti näitä etäisyyksiä kauemmaksi.
