yup. i saw a calculated yield on the order of 7.5 kilotons, meaning we're getting a thousand pounds of tnt per pound of this thing. as firecrackers go, a good'n.

"i saw a calculated yield on the order of 7.5 kilotons"

Was that from someone who took "outcome based" math? Given that the bomb has about 7 tons of explosive, I'd be curious to see how the calculated yield could be 7,500 tons, or about half the yield of the the hiroshima bomb....

Not likely. 7.5 tons I would believe. But not 7.5 kt.
