Now a power plant produces 15 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, enough to power a city like Salem. So this leaves me with three questions, let’s see if you guys can help me out with them.
What would the amount of energy be when converted to Joules?
How much does the above energy weigh?
The energy given off by nuclear weapons is measured in kilotons, where 1 kiloton equals 4 x 1012 Joules. How much mass is converted to energy in a 900 kiloton bomb?
Knowing that a lot of nuclear weapons exist, I want to see what the practical implications are for safety.
Thanks in advance.
