Hopefully they won't be able to develop something like this anytime in the near future.

Fucking Tsar Bomb

nice link

doesn't take into account the blast radius

To generate a 4.2 quakt the NK nuclear device would have been equal to about 2 Million pounds of TNT.

2 Megatons would actually have created around a 6.2.

Sorry, got the tons and pounds confused. So about 2 kilotons, still not that big of a deal as far as destruction goes, but this is bad fucking news regardless.

Here's a good link to map the effects of a bomb. Just enter in it's Kilotons (1 megaton equaling 1000 kT). The bomb on Japan was 20 kT. Our strategic nukes are 600 kT. They do go up to 100 megaton or more, but our military instead goes with 20 megaton bombs since a group of them technically causes more damage than one big bomb.

The largest underground nuclear test conducted by the United States, Project Cannikin was one of three underground nuclear tests performed at different places on this 43-mile long island in the Aleutian Chain (Alaska).

This $200 million 1971 test was performed to test an Anti-Ballistic Missile warhead, for a Spartan ABM missile. It consisted of a 5 megaton-yield thermonuclear bomb, detonated in a 50-foot diameter chamber, at the bottom of a 5,875-foot shaft (for you metric people that's.. I dunno, a little over 1.61KM).

The thermonuclear blast was almost 400 times more powerful than the weapon that destroyed Hiroshima.

The blast uplifted a mile of the nearby ground by 20 feet, and vented groundwater through cracks and old seismic faults throughout the site.

The blast was felt throughout Alaska, and it registered as a magnitude-7 earthquake recorded by seismographs around the world.

The blast is also know for the straw that broke the camels back for a group of moronic tree huggers that formed Greenpeace. ref. http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/about
