re: #304 Killian Bundy

Let’s just say the Hiroshima bomb was 15KT over half a century ago, the first “successful” nuclear test by North Korea was less than one KT, and anyone serious about nuclear weapons nowadays, measures yield in tens of MT.

/granted North Korea shouldn’t even be allowed to experiment in this realm, but I’m not going to start panicking until I see how large this detonation was and if it was even nuclear

The problem I have with a 1kt blast is physics. The basic floor for a explosion is 10-15kt, to go below that level requires a high degree of sophistication in refinement and design of the primary.

A 1kt blast if it’s not a fizzle is actually more worrisome.
