Nuclear Weapons - basic technology concepts [UNC]

"The largest known pure fission weapon tested had a 500 kiloton yield. This is some thirty-eight times the release which destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. Not satisfied that this was powerful enough, designers developed thermonuclear (fusion) weapons."

So I guess it's only a matter of time before Iran or Al Q or someone detonates one of these. I had no idea that H bomb power was scalable. That's a pretty scary thought. Thank goodness that that tech is being kept under lock and key.

Always nice to know how things work, although I'm sure various security organisations are now keeping tabs on me just for looking at it!

That's some scary and fascinating stuff. I suspect it could be possible to tamper with even subtler subatomic forces and create exponentially more dangerous weapons in the future, even! Kinda makes you just wanna hide in a cave somewhere.
