Some Nuclear Stuff

Edit: Never mind. Efficiency is, from my understanding, the amount of nuclear fuel that undergoes fission.

Tsar Bomba Yield and Nuclear Discrepancies​

The 58 (57 is actually the more common figure) megaton yield was calculated by America and circulated by Russia, but 50 megatons is believed to be the private position of the latter. This was during the Cold War, so Russia would likely want America as scared as possible. These discrepancies should be noted.

A lot of nuclear weapons yields aren't really exact, either. For example, Little Boy is believed to be between 12-18 kilotons, and 15 is the middle-ground.

I do agree that Nuclear weapons aren't exactly exact with their yields; Tsar Bomba was originally stated to be 100 megatons, but lowered it to 50 after some recalculations and it was also stated Russia could produce a 100 Megaton bomb if they wished. Though, the durability to survive a bomb should stull use Inverse Square law.

In this case, he probably means point-blank. He doesn't specify range, and he could high-ball it to pretty much anything, like "I could survive a planet-killing asteroid", just because he's at a distance.

Edit: They're talking about blowing it up in this context, no one is boasting about surviving anything. So point-blank seems like a far better assumption.

Even point blank; it might be best to compare his cross sectional area to the surface area of the nuke.

That'd be kind of difficult without some assumptions, but using 1 metre gets 2.56 teratons since I can't work off surface area here. Technically, he still wouldn't even take the full blast even if he was laying down on the explosives (that's assuming the explosives are comparable in surface area), which is a thread I've been planning to make in the future.
