Wonder how big the explosion would have been, if every gram went into fission(or what they call it)
I recall reading and hearing about the first test a bet was being made among the designers of the bomb as to the extent of the blast, a sort of "How Big" pool. Also, when the first blast was ignited, there was a genuine concern as to whether the blast would trigger off an unending, all consuming chain reaction...
