    wow, and the bomb only needs a yield of 1620 times the largest nuclear bomb ever deployed.

        Nuclear explosions are inherently unsafe…

        …but fuck them fish!

        And states the main problem, with a deep ocean detonation, would be fallout.

        I’m not sure that’s right. The shockwave of a bomb that insane could easily have seismic and tsunami effects. Probably be the biggest mass of dead fish floating at the surface, too.

        Should probably talk to some geologists first.

        perhaps, though you’d have to dig a much bigger hole. however, the paper points out that the sheer military uselessness of such an enormous bomb would be crucial to making it legal or politically feasible. the international community would be understandably sus of anyone wanting to make 1620 tsar bombas.
