The Tsar Bomba's explosive yield could have been 100mt with u238 tamper! 🧨

Did you know that the Tsar Bomba could have been even more powerful? By including the U238 tamper, its explosive yield could have been doubled to 100mt, but it was removed to reduce radioactive fallout. The bomb dropped had a yield of 50mt.

Mind-blowing fact! It's astonishing to think about the immense power of the Tsar Bomba and the careful considerations made to minimize its impact. Safety first, even with mind-bogglingly powerful explosives!
