RPC AP issue

[Wokistan]

Currently, RPC-286 is rated at 7-C for being compared to a fission reaction. The problem? Fission reactions aren't inherently tier 7.

This is a fission bomb. It's High 8-C to 8-B. Similarly, nuclear power plants don't generate tier 7 amounts of energy all are once.

Unless there is more support beyond that, a downgrade is in order.

I sort of agree, but fission reactions in general are somewhat vague.

Honestly, if I wanked it and ignored your point, a fission reaction from a plant would be higher then alot of older bombs. (IDK if it will go to the level of Castle Romeo or the Tsar Bomba.)

But yeah, I agree. A downgrade is in order unless we get further evidence for this matter.

I'm not saying that fission is only tier 8 so much as I am saying that a fission explosion can end up that low. On the other end of that spectrum wr do have tier 7 conventional explosives.

Castle bravo and Tsar Bomba are thermonuclear, so they work off of fusion.

This is on me, because I misread the article as nuclear fission rather than nuclear fusion and noted it down as such. I'll be changing it shortly. I'm still not sure where this would put it, but this discussion brings up some valid points.
