A 30,000 lb bomb is 15 Kilotons. The “Little Boy” bomb that exploded over Hiroshima in WWII was between 13 and 18 Kilotons estimated yield.

A 30,000 lb bomb is 15 tons. Math error.

Either way, the “kiloton” term reflects the effect of a quantity of TNT. Whatever is in this thing, I’m sure it’s much more potent than TNT.
