  Key Issues: Nuclear Weapons: Issues: Testing: Ivy Mike Nuclear Test
10.4 Mt Mike was a "two stage" device and had a yield of 10.4 megatons.
It inaugurated the thermonuclear age with the first "true" thermonuclear test (code name Mike), which was considerably more powerful than all the high explosives used in two World Wars put together.
Ivy also tested the highest yield pure fission weapon ever exploded.

 Ivy Mike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivy Mike was the code name given to the first successful test of a fusion device, detonated on October 31, 1952 (US time — November 1 local time) by the United States on Enewetak, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean, as part of Operation Ivy.
The "Mike" device was essentially a very large cylindrical thermos flask for holding the cryogenic deuterium fusion fuel, with a regular fission bomb (the "primary") at one end; the latter was used to create the conditions needed to start the fusion reaction.
The entire Mike device (including cryogenic equipment) weighed 82 tons, and was housed in a large corrugated-aluminium building called a "shot cab" which was set up on the Pacific island of Elugelab, part of the Enewetak atoll.

 Operation Ivy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Ivy was the eighth series of American nuclear tests, coming after Tumbler-Snapper and before Upshot-Knothole.
The first device, codenamed Mike, was notable for being the first successful test of a multi-megaton thermonuclear weapon design (the Teller-Ulam design), usually considered the world's first hydrogen bomb test.
Too unwieldy to be deployed as a weapon, it was built to demonstrate the power and possibility of using nuclear fusion as a principle for larger-yield nuclear weapons than previously possible.
