About the Picture Slideshow/Slide Show:
        Tsar Bomba is the Western name for the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb had a yield of about 50 megatons of TNT and it was codenamed Ivan by its developers.

The bomb was tested on October 30, 1961, in Novaya Zemlya, an archipelago in the Arctic Sea. The device was scaled down from its original design of 100 megatons to reduce the resulting nuclear fallout.

Review:
        The Tsar Bomba was not intended for use in warfare. The Soviet Union used it as a deterrent to the United States during the Cold War.The Tsar Bomba was a three-stage hydrogen bomb with a yield of about 50 megatons.This is equivalent to all of the explosives used in World War II multiplied by 10.
