		B53 nuclear bomb: 9Mt, most powerful US warhead; no longer in active service, but 50 are retained as part of the "Hedge" portion of the Enduring Stockpile; similar to the W-53 warhead that has been used in the Titan II Missile, decommissioned in 1987.
		The Hiroshima bomb, "Little Boy", is estimated to have been between 12 and 18 kt (a 20% margin of error), while the Nagasaki bomb, "Fat Man", is estimated to be between 18 and 23 kt (a 10% margin of error).
		Nuclear testing yields, as in the Tsar Bomba example, can also be used as a way of reflecting upon technical expertise, and claiming higher yields or accusations of lower yields can be used as a way of promoting or disparaging the technical abilities of a nuclear program.

		The SIOP is the central nuclear war plan of the U.S. It is developed by the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff at the Strategic Air Command in Omaha, Nebraska.
		It is incredibly complex once matching over 10,000 nuclear warheads with their targets taking into account factors of reliability, timing, target hardness, collateral damage, etc. The U.S. bomber's role in the overall plan must be integrated with ballistic missile salvos from SSBNs and land based forces in the U.S. and Europe.
		The average bomb loadings are assumed to be: 4.5 in 1964, 5 in 1965, 5.5 in 1966, 6 in 1967, 7 in 1968, and 8 in 1969.

	Tsar Bomba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bomb was tested on October 30, 1961 in Novaya Zemlya, an island in the Arctic Sea.
		The bomb, weighing 27 tonnes, was so large (8 meters long by 2 m in diameter) that the Tu-95 had to have its bomb bay doors and wing fuel tanks removed.
		The bomb was dropped from an altitude of 10,500 m, and designed to detonate at a height of 4,000 m over the land surface (4,200 m over sea level) by barometric sensors.

	Nuclear Weapons...Inanot.com
		In general, fission bombs are powered by using chemical explosives to compress a sub-critical amount of either uranium-235 or plutonium into a dense, super-critical mass, which is then subjected to a source of neutrons.
		Nuclear weapons are often described as either fission or fusion devices based on the dominant source of the weapon's energy.
		Nuclear weapons are relatively inefficient in their use of fissionable material, and much of the uranium and plutonium is dispersed by the explosion without undergoing fission.

	Informat.io on Teller Ulam Design
		The idea is generally thought to pertain specifically to the use of a fission bomb "trigger" placed near an amount of fusion fuel, known as "staging", and the use of "radiation implosion" to compress the fusion fuel before igniting it.
		The idea of a thermonuclear fusion bomb ignited by a smaller fission bomb was first proposed by Enrico Fermi to his colleague Edward Teller in 1941 at the start of what would become the Manhattan project.
		Ulam's two innovations which rendered the fusion bomb practical were that compression of the thermonuclear fuel before extreme heating was a practical path towards the conditions needed for fusion, and the idea of staging or placing a separate thermonuclear component outside a fission primary component, and somehow using the primary to compress the secondary.

		From the public debut of nuclear weapons during the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they were a highly controversial technology among the citizens of the United States.
		There were also instances during the nuclear testing program in which soldiers were exposed to overly high levels of radiation, which grew into a major scandal in the 1970s and 1980s, as many soldiers later suffered from what were claimed to be diseases caused by their exposures.
		The United States is one of the five "nuclear weapons states" permitted to maintain a nuclear arsenal under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of which it was an original signatory on July 1, 1968 (ratified March 5, 1970).

		Conventional bombs are made of chemical explosives, which depend on the release of from the atom's electrons, while nuclear bombs release vast amounts of nuclear energy from atoms of uranium or plutonium.
		Although many bombs used by terrorists are small enough to be planted manually, the car bomb, used particularly by the IRA and other paramilitary groups, became a preferred weapon in the 1970s, reaching a peak of destruction in July 1974 when more than 20 car bombs exploded in one day in Belfast.
		Another aspect of electromagnetic bomb lethality is its detonation altitude, and by varying the detonation altitude, a tradeoff may be achieved between the size of the lethal footprint and the intensity of the electromagnetic field in that footprint.

	50 Years of Innovation: 50 Years of Science
		Nuclear weapons were a new and growing part of the U.S. arsenal and seen as essential for deterring Soviet aggression in Europe.
		The development of new U.S. nuclear weapons ceased in 1991; presently, the focus is on improving our scientific capabilities to understand weapon performance in the absence of nuclear testing and to refurbish weapon systems as necessary to keep the existing nuclear stockpile reliable, safe, and secure.
		Nuclear weapon designs with specifically tailored effects were also the springboard for exploring the feasibility of third-generation, or directed-energy, weapons, such as nuclear-powered x-ray lasers, for use in strategic defense.

	B41 nuclear bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The B41 was an extremely powerful thermonuclear weapon deployed by the United States Strategic Air Command in the early 1960s.
		It was the highest-yield nuclear weapon ever deployed by the United States, with a maximum yield of 25 megatons.
		The Mk 41 was progressively phased out of service from 1963 in favor of the B53 nuclear bomb.

		All constructed weapons were verified by IAEA and other international observers to have been dismantled, along with the complete weapons program, and their highly enriched uranium was reprocessed back into low enriched form unsuitable for weapons.

		It was also the only three-stage thermonuclear weapon ever developed by the US, and it achieved the highest yield-to-weight ratio of any US weapon design.
		It may be that both used a secondary with a lead fusion tamper.
		There are actually two reported yields for this bomb, "less than 10 Mt" and 25 Mt. It is possible that the 25 Mt yield applies only to the dirty Y1 version, with the clean Y2 version having the lower yield.

	[1.0] B-52 Evolution
		The standard nuclear weapon for the B-52 in the 1960s was the B28 fusion bomb.
		The B-52 could also carry the more powerful "B41" and "B53" fusion bombs, with a yield roughly an order of magnitude greater than that of the B28, and the "B57", a tactical weapon with a yield in the range of about ten kilotonnes.
		The target list of the B-52 and other nuclear strike elements in the US arsenal was outlined by a series of ultra-secret "Strategic Integrated Options Plans (SIOPs)", which determined the order in which targets would be attacked and what platform would attack them.

	Multimegaton Weapons
		The largest nuclear weapons ever built by the United States were the EC17/Mk-17, the EC24/Mk-24, and the B41 (Mk41).
		In 1963 DOE declassified statements that the U.S. had the technological capability of deploying a 35 mt warhead on the Titan II, or a 50-60 mt gravity bomb on B-52s.[8] Neither weapon was pursued (the Titan II was deployed with a 9 mt warhead), but either would require yield-to-weight ratios superior to a 25-mt B41.
		However, this was a reduced yield "clean" version: the uranium sleeve on the tertiary stage was replaced with lead, and the fission yield was only 3% of the total yield.[63] The full yield version had a yield of 150 mt[62] (Russian sources report 100 mt[64] to 150 mt[67]).

		Much of this was based on a concept that came out after WWI that there was no weapon in the world that could stop an armada of high-flying heavy bombers from terrorizing cities from the skies.
		While the concept of strategic bombing was sound on the drawing board, it was more than just designing and building an impregnable bomber, something that wasn't going to happen.
		Since nuclear power is renewable and available now, and safe despite the protestations of the anti-growth crowd, we should be licensing it.
