11/1/52 US explodes hydrogen bomb at Bikini Atoll yield=10.4 MT

1954-US test bomb yield is almost 17 MT

11/22/55 Russia explodes bomb in Kazakhstan 1.6 MT yield

11/8/57 Britain explodes bomb yield = 1.8 MT

10/31/61 Russia explodes bomb yield=58MT

By the early sixties, bombs with yields greater than 1MT were not unknown.

The yield were closely guarded secrets, and the effects could only be guessed at.
