| The 19 kiloton explosion not only led to a quick end to the war in the Pacific but also ushered the world into the atomic age. |
| But big ones can cause damage anyway: 1,500 people were injured in Chelyabinsk, in Russia, in 2013, after a 500 kiloton explosion 30km up. |
| Jumbo survived the approximately 20 kiloton Trinity blast undamaged, but its supporting 70-foot tall steel tower was flattened. |
| The CTBT's monitoring centre can detect and identify non-evasive nuclear testing of 1 kiloton or greater, but it cannot detect nuclear tests below this yield nor those above the yield done evasively. |
| The efficiency of this technology was demonstrated in October 2006 when the Democratic People's Republic of Korea conducted its first nuclear test, resulting in an approximate explosion yield of 0.7 of a kiloton. |
| Fusion bombs, also called thermonuclear bombs, have higher kiloton yields and greater efficiencies than fission bombs. |
