MOSCOW, may 7 — RIA Novosti. the American edition of We Are The Mighty predicted, what damage could occur when dropping a thermonuclear bomb with a capacity of ten thousand megatons.

Over the weapons in the last century worked with the Creator of the American h-bomb Edward teller. The newspaper reminds that the United States abandoned the development of weapons of such power, since its use would lead to the destruction of millions of innocent citizens. It is noted that even if a bomb dropped on the heart of the Soviet Union, it would be “poisoned vast areas of Western Europe and probably the United States.”

it is Emphasized that one such bomb would be enough to destroy entire countries, e.g. the UK, France, Germany or North and South Korea.

“Theoretically, such a weapon is possible. But I would hope that no one will be able to assemble a team of people who would have had the presence of mind, and stupidity to create this weapon. In the end our nuclear arsenals large enough to destroy the world several times. Do we need a bomb that can do this?” — the author writes.

Modeling in NukeMap simulator, which is designed for a maximum capacity of one hundred megatons, showed that even a bomb a hundred times weaker than intended by the teller, when reset over the Russian capital would lead to the loss of the nuclear fallout up to the Northern part of the Komi Republic — a distance of about 1.5 thousand kilometers, so it is unlikely this could hurt the territory of the United States. However, from a bomb with a capacity of ten thousand megatons effect would be a hundred times stronger, the paper concludes.
