TNT equivalent is a method of quantifying the energy released in explosions. The "ton of TNT" is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 gigajoules, which is approximately the amount of energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms or 1 megagram) of TNT. The "megaton of TNT" is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 petajoules.
The kiloton and megaton of TNT have traditionally been used to rate the energy output, and hence destructive power, of nuclear weapons (see nuclear weapon yield) and other high-energy events. This unit is written into various nuclear weapon control treaties, and gives a sense of destructiveness as compared with ordinary explosives, like TNT. More recently, it has been used to describe the energy released in other highly destructive events, such as asteroid impacts. However, TNT is not the most energetic of conventional explosives. Dynamite, for example, has about 60% more energy density (approximately 7.5 MJ/kg, compared to about 4.7 MJ/kg for TNT).
A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or a combination of fission and fusion (thermonuclear weapon). Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT (see Trinity (nuclear test)). The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT.
A thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons (1.1 million tonnes) of TNT. A nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by blast, fire, and radiation. Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control have been a major focus of international relations policy since their debut.

The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories and various possessions. The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. At 3.8 million square miles (9.842 million km2) and with over 320 million people, the country is the world's third or fourth-largest by total area and the third most populous. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The geography and climate of the United States are also extremely diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife.
Atomic demolition munitions (ADMs), colloquially known as nuclear land mines, are small nuclear explosive devices. ADMs were developed for both military and civilian purposes. As weapons, they were designed to be exploded in the forward battle area, in order to block or channel enemy forces. Non-militarily, they were designed for demolition, mining or earthmoving. However, apart from testing, they have never been used for either purpose.
Instead of being delivered to the target by missiles, rockets, or artillery shells, ADMs were intended to be emplaced by soldiers. Due to their relatively small size and light weight, ADMs could be emplaced by military engineers or Special Forces teams, then detonated on command or by timer to create massive obstructions. By destroying key terrain features or choke points such as bridges, dams, mountain passes and tunnels, ADMs could serve to create physical as well as radiological obstacles to the movement of enemy forces and thus channel them into prepared killing zones.
The Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) was a family of man-portable nuclear weapons fielded by the US military in the 1960s, but never used in combat. The US Army planned to use the weapons in Europe in the event of a Soviet invasion. US Army Engineers would use the weapon to destroy, irradiate and deny key routes of communication through limited terrain such as the Fulda Gap. Troops were trained to parachute into Soviet-occupied western Europe with the SADM and destroy power plants, bridges, and dams.
It was also intended that the munition could be used against targets in coastal and near-coastal locations. One person carrying the weapon package would parachute from an aircraft and place the device in a harbor or other strategic location that was accessible from the sea. Another parachutist without a weapon package would follow the first to provide support as needed. The two-person team would place the weapon package in the target location, set the timer, and swim out into the ocean, where they would be retrieved by a submarine or a high-speed surface water craft.
1,000,000 lbs TNT demolition test = 1/2 a Kiloton Nuclear Weapon A One (1) Kiloton Nuclear Device or Bomb !

Steve Araujo of TheBassHang.com showcase the new G&L; Kiloton bass. Kiloton features a single G&L; MFD humbucker, mini-toggle for series/split/parallel, volume and tone. The Kiloton is running through a BBE BMAX-T preamp using the DI out. The Live! At Leo's studio is located at Leo Fender's historic G&L; factory on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California - The Birthplace Of Bolt-on(TM).
World’s MOST POWERFUL GUN ever fired! 15 kiloton NUCLEAR SUPER CANNON! (One of a kind!) (Video includes real nuclear explosion footage.) This video contains exclusive and extraordinary footage of the legendary M65 Atomic Cannon - the most powerful gun ever! Developed by the United States of America in the early 1950s, this remarkable artillery piece was capable of firing a 15 kiloton nuclear warhead – about the same size as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima – a distance of 7 miles. This remarkable cold war super weapon was deployed to Europe and Korea, yet was never used in active combat. Indeed it was fired only once, at the Nevada Test Site, on May 25, 1953 at 8:30am. The superb music -- called "Virtutes Vocis" -- was composed by Mr. Kevin MacLeod: http://incompetech.com/music/royalt...
Read the review: http://bit.ly/GLKilotonPG Although the master, Leo Fender, is no longer with us, the engineers at G&L; continue to push forward with Leo-like moxie, rolling out highly respected instrument designs while still keeping them fiscally in reach for many players. The latest bass to come out of Fullerton is the Kiloton, as in 1,000 tons of explosive power at your fingertips. When a company names a product so boldly, there had better be something big behind it. So we took a close look and listen to find out what makes this bomb tick. G&L; was founded when Leo, after his years with Fender and Music Man, felt he had more to offer the musical instrument world. His SB-2 design is evidence of this, as it introduced a more comfortable, sleeker P-style bass and quickly became a favorite ...

My soldiers, my friends, beware!
Ancient enemy come back, it's unleashed.
"IT" remembers Azrael, was it's father.
Now he's the new lord of the dark
Oh, Kaledon, Mozul comes to kill... to kill
Oh, Kaledon, Mozul comes to lead the dark
His creator and his father are gone.
And your fury, great fury, is comin' out.
"IT" will find the reign of the light.
Now we must prepare to fight against the night.
Oh, Kaledon, Mozul comes to kill... to kill
