“Tsar Bomba”: the largest explosive device
XORit Editorial · Sources, AI assistance and corrections
In 1961, the USSR tested the 58-megaton thermonuclear Tsar Bomba over Novaya Zemlya. It is the largest explosive device ever detonated.
Scientists planned a yield of 100 megatons, but reduced it to lessen radioactive fallout over Soviet territory.
