Whats the average yield for a nuclear weapon?
Ive been wondering this, so if the day comes… i know safe distances and what to expect. I’ve heard its 300kt, but that seems a bit small for todays standards, please supply a source with your answer. Thank you
300kt sounds about right. It’s high, if anything. Keep in mind that “today’s standards” are in fact lower than during the Cold War. More technology doesn’t necessarily mean more powerful weapons, especially in this case.
It’s not technology that’s limiting the size, not in any way, it’s simply that you almost never need much more than a couple hundred kilotons.
Nukes are fairly small affairs, these days; the US has mostly 100-300kt nukes, and a limited number of megaton level weapons.
