How Castle Bravo works! World’s biggest nuclear bomb ever detonated | @Learnfromthebase

#b3d #nuclear #bomb #military Castle Bravo was the first in a series of high-yield thermonuclear weapon design tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, as part of Operation Castle. Detonated on March 1, 1954, the device remains the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the United States and the first lithium-deuteride-fueled thermonuclear weapon tested using the Teller-Ulam design. Castle Bravo’s yield was 15 megatons of TNT. 2.5 times the predicted 6 Mt (25 PJ), due to unforeseen additional reactions involving lithium-7, which led to radioactive contamination in the surrounding area.
