Nuclear Glossary

YieldTotal energy released, measured in kilotons (kT) or megatons (MT) of TNT equivalent.

AirburstDetonation at optimal altitude to maximize blast damage. No crater, minimal fallout.

Surface BurstDetonation at ground level. Creates crater, produces heavy radioactive fallout.

HEMPHigh-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse. Detonation at 30-400+ km altitude creates continent-scale EMP with no blast damage at ground level.

MIRVMultiple Independently-targetable Reentry Vehicle. Single missile carries multiple warheads aimed at different targets.

Overpressure (psi)Air pressure above normal atmospheric. 5 psi collapses most buildings. 20 psi destroys reinforced concrete.

FalloutRadioactive debris carried downwind after surface burst. Most dangerous in first 48 hours (7:10 decay rule).

FirestormSelf-sustaining fire with hurricane-force inward winds. Consumes all oxygen in the area. Occurred at Hiroshima.

FissionSplitting heavy atoms (U-235, Pu-239). Powers all nuclear weapons. Pure fission weapons: up to ~500 kT.

ThermonuclearTwo-stage design using fission primary to ignite fusion secondary. No theoretical yield limit. Most modern weapons.

CEPCircular Error Probable. Radius within which 50% of warheads land. Modern ICBMs: ~100-200m. GPS-guided bombs: ~30m.
