What is the explosive yield of a nuclear weapon?
The explosive yield of a nuclear weapon is the amount of energy released when that particular nuclear weapon is detonated, usually expressed as a TNT equivalent (the standardized equivalent mass of trinitrotoluene which, if detonated, would produce the same energy discharge), either in kilotons…

USSR, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated, yield of 50 megatons, (50 million tons of TNT). In its “final” form (i.e. with a depleted uranium tamper instead of one made of lead) it would have been 100 megatons. All nuclear testing as of 1996.
