True, but compared to currently available yields, that was an itty-bitty bomb, at 'only' 15 kilotons. I'm assuming yields in the hundreds of kiloton range, at least.

Also-as [livejournal.com profile] perldiver notes, I am actually clueful enough to realize that almost nothing except some minor bomb components will actually be 'monatomic dust'; it's just that 'monatomic dust' is so fun to *say*.

What sort of nuke do you think would get detonated in an American city nowadays? I'm not nuclear engineer, but from what I can tell reading online, yields in the 100kt area and higher are only possible with fusion bombs, not fission bombs. Is anybody with fusion bomb technology mad at us?

Dude, let it go. Both DocOrion and I were treating this as a throwaway joke, not a debate about the politics and science of nuclear terrorism.
