0 (of a bomb) giving an explosion as great as that of a million tons of TNT -- megatonn
a five-megaton bomb.
Nuclear explosions in the kiloton range, as distinct from megaton explosions, are not powerful enough to project fission products into the stratosphere.
They are perfectly capable of doing the arithmetic of megatons.
An attack of 222 megatons is well within the capacity of such a force.
I am a little perturbed by the reduction of the target from 5 to 4.2 megatons.
A total of 67 explosions, of which four were specifically stated to be hydrogen, thermonuclear or in the megaton range, has been announced.
I should deeply regret it if this real and psychological opportunity presented to us by the power of over fifty megatons is neglected.
Preliminary evidence suggests a yield of the order of 30 megatons.
The capability of a megaton explosion has become possible since the end of the last war.
