It was detonated on Elugelab Island yielding 10.4 megatons, almost 500 times the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. 8 megatons of the yield was from fast fission of the uranium tamper, creating massive amounts of radioactive fallout.

This &quot;Super Oralloy Bomb&quot; was intended as a backup if the fusion weapon failed.
