It is difficult to determine the exact number of nuclear bombs it would take to kill everyone in the world, as many factors such as location and size of the bombs would come into play. However, it is estimated that a few hundred strategically placed nuclear bombs could have catastrophic global consequences.
A 10-megaton nuclear weapon could potentially destroy an area of around 200 square miles, depending on factors such as the weapon's design, altitude of detonation, and local geography. The destruction radius of a nuclear explosion is typically measured in terms of the blast radius, heat radius, and radiation radius.
Yes, nuclear bombs are many times stronger than hurricane Katrina. Nuclear bombs release energy equivalent to millions of tons of TNT, causing widespread destruction, while hurricanes like Katrina are powerful storms with strong winds and heavy rainfall.
Well, mega means a million, so one megaton is basically a million pounds.
1 megaton TNT = 4.184 petajoules ( 4.184 x 1015 J )
124. Mostly 24 Megaton Warheads.
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.
No nuclear bombs were tested on Easter Island.
none, australia is not a nuclear power
Well, to my research there hasn't been any nuclear bombs, Aussie has built.
in many places
None
there were two types of nuclear bombs. A "gun type" bomb and an implosion type one with a plutonium core
No nuclear weapons from that era remain. The last MK-III bombs were recycled to make MK-4 or MK-5 bombs by the early 1950s.

Two.
1 million tons = 2 billion pounds or more commonly used as a measure of energy release in a nuclear bomb 4.184 petajoules
