Tsar Bomba: a nuclear disaster to Chartres
On August 9, 1945, a bomb was launched on the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Imagine that an atomic bomb of such a scale (20,000 kilotons) is launched in Paris. The nuclear fire ball would be equivalent to a radius of 260 meters and no human life could resist on an area of more than a square kilometer. Significant damage would be expected over a distance of 32 kilometers. The human record would be dramatic with an average of 120,000 dead and 320,000 people injured, reports our colleagues in Slate.
However, Russia has the most powerful nuclear weapon in the world named “The Tsar Bomba” (more than 50,000 kilotons). This atomic bomb was developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. It is 3000 times more powerful than the bombs that have been launched on Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Tsar Bomba during its explosion would form A nuclear fire ball of 113 square kilometers. The breath of the explosion would destroy everything in its path over a distance of 200 square kilometers with almost no chance of survival. Due to its power, this nuclear weapon would have An impact over 8000 square kilometers Being able to reach cities like Beauvais or Chartres, underlines the Slate media.
