The Tsar Bomba. It was tested in 1961 by the USSR on the island of Novaya Zemlya within the Arctic Circle. Its design yield was 100 megatons, but the yield was reduced to 57 megatons for the test by replacing the uranium-238 third stage tamper with a different metal (e.g. lead, tungsten) that would not fission when hit by the high energy fusion neutrons (and thus would not contribute to the yield or the fallout).
The Tsar Bomba was not only the highest yield nuclear bomb ever tested, it was the highest yield nuclear bomb actually dropped from a bomber airplane. The Tsar Bomba also turned out to be the cleanest nuclear explosion with only about 3% fission yield and a correspondingly small amount of fallout relative to its total yield. Nuclear explosions having 5% or less fission yield are usually called "clean".

What is the biggest bomb?
the biggest bomb known in mankind is a nuclear bomb :)
What is a catchy nuclear power slogan?
nuclear energy is the sun not a bomb
How strong is the Israeli army?
the Israeli army is the powerful army in the middle east! if we will get into a conflict we will probably win... if Iran wants to land a nuclear bomb we can destroy it and sent them HYDROGEN bomb, the power of this bomb is 100 times stronger then nuclear, if a nuclear bomb destroys thousand's of people the a hydrogen bomb destroys about a million and so people. anyway the Israeli army is very powerful and its 1 of the top 5 armies in the world.
How did the build up of nuclear weapons affect foreign policy?
It made war less likely since there was a chance that a nuclear bomb could be launched.

How big is the largest nuclear bomb?
The largest nuclear bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961, which had a yield of 50 megatons. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
Who has the biggest nuclear bomb in the world?
As of now, Russia possesses the largest nuclear bomb in the world known as the Tsar Bomba. It was tested in 1961 and had a yield of 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated.
What is the largest megaton bomb?
The largest megaton bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961, with a yield of about 50 megatons. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
How big is a nuclear bomb?
The size of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its yield, but generally speaking, they are relatively small and can be easily transported by planes or missiles. The largest nuclear bombs ever detonated were in the range of 50-100 megatons, but most current nuclear weapons have yields in the kiloton range.
Is the nuke bomb the biggest bomb?
No, a nuclear bomb is not the biggest bomb. The largest conventional bomb in terms of explosive yield is the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), also known as the "Mother of All Bombs." It is a non-nuclear bomb developed by the United States.
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is a type of bomb that releases energy from splitting atoms (fission), whereas a plutonium bomb specifically uses plutonium as the primary fissile material to create the explosive chain reaction. Plutonium bombs are a subset of nuclear bombs.
What takes up the largest percent of energy released in a nuclear detonation?
As with any bomb the primary effect is blast.
When did Germany make nuclear bomb?
Germany has not made a nuclear bomb.
What is the best nuclear bomb?
The best nuclear bomb is the Tsar bomba
Who is the father of nuclear bomb?
Robert Oppenheimer is the father of nuclear bomb.
What is a nuclear weapon in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
A nuclear bomb or atomic bomb
Which bomb is deathly?
nuclear bomb
