Difference between TNT equivalent and Thermonuclear weapon

TNT equivalent vs. Thermonuclear weapon

TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion. A thermonuclear weapon is a second-generation nuclear weapon design using a secondary nuclear fusion stage consisting of implosion tamper, fusion fuel, and spark plug which is bombarded by the energy released by the detonation of a primary fission bomb within, compressing the fuel material (tritium, deuterium or lithium deuteride) and causing a fusion reaction.

Similarities between TNT equivalent and Thermonuclear weapon

TNT equivalent and Thermonuclear weapon have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): B41 nuclear bomb, Central Intelligence Agency, Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, Explosive material, Fat Man, Gamma ray, Little Boy, Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle, Nuclear weapon yield, Peta-, Soviet Union, Tera-, Thermonuclear weapon, TNT equivalent, Tonne, Tsar Bomba, United States Department of Energy, W88.

B41 nuclear bomb

The B-41 (also known as Mk-41) was a thermonuclear weapon deployed by the United States Strategic Air Command in the early 1960s.

Explosive material

An explosive material, also called an explosive, is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.

Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle

A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) is a ballistic missile payload containing several thermonuclear warheads, each capable of being aimed to hit a different target.

Nuclear weapon yield

The explosive yield of a nuclear weapon is the amount of energy released when that particular nuclear weapon is detonated, usually expressed as a TNT equivalent (the standardized equivalent mass of trinitrotoluene which, if detonated, would produce the same energy discharge), either in kilotons (kt—thousands of tons of TNT), in megatons (Mt—millions of tons of TNT), or sometimes in terajoules (TJ).
