Description: Nuclear cloud height/yield graph Cosmetically enhanced to illustrate size of Fat Man/Castle Bravo mushroom clouds. Note that cloud height is shown with linear scale, but yield (horizontal axis) with LOGARITHMIC scale ! CAUTION: The data represented in this plot are not verifiable because no sources are made clear. This image should not be used to present its unsourced data as fact unless sources are also provided for the data. 0 = Approximate altitude band commercial aircraft use 1 = Fat Man 22.5 kt 2 = Castle Bravo 15 Mt (I would have included Tsar Bomba (Царь-бомба) but the graph only went to 30 MT.)
