Kiloton means, literally, a thousand tons. It's not immediately clear whether the "ton" meant is metric (generally written tonne for clarity) or not.
A "metric ton" is quite close to the English "long ton" and about 10% more than the English "short ton". Again, "ton" by itself could mean either of those.
