Re: 63 TJ output = 15.057 Megatons *Math inside*
Posted By: telemachus <manis.george@gmail.com>	Date: 8/26/10 11:45 a.m.
: (63 TJ)*(1E15 Joules)*(1 Mt)/(1 TJ)/(4.184E15 Joules) = 15.057 Mt : Conversions: 1E15 = Tera(whatever) : 1 Megaton (Mt) = 4.184 x 10^15 Joules : Following these conversions and canceling out the units (which if in doubt, : cancel units to arrive at the correct number!), you arrive at the answer : of 15.057 Megatons. That's roughly half of the expected yield of a HAVOK : Nuclear Warhead ( http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/HAVOK_Nuclear_Warhead ). I think a Terajoule is 10^12 joules, not 10^15 here's an online converter I found http://www.convertunits.com/from/megaton+%5Bexplosive%5D/to/terajoule Here's a wiki article that backs up my original find. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_yield 15 Megatons is a little overkill for a tac-nuke. I think it might be a Fury like Archilen mentioned.
