It was a storage igloo design testing with donor igloo size was 10ft high x 20ft wide x 40ft long. The donor was filled with Comp B explosives.
The blast was equivalent to 500,000 pounds of TNT. All blasts, including nuclear blasts are measured to equivalent to TNT pounds. So a 1 Megaton nuclear bomb blast has the equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT.
