> The flash dome itself reached 20 km, while the ring of absolute destruction had a radius of 35 kilometers

Is there another term for “ring of bsolute destruction”? When I google that, all of the results are either for a book with that in part of the title, or a guitar effect pedal, or this article itself.

I’d like to read more about this - can anyone suggest a better search term?



I assume this is just a word-for-word translation for "зона полного разрушения".

If you "detonate" 100M Tzar Bomb on https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ it tells you that

>Moderate blast damage radius (5 psi): 32.6 km

So I assume that the “ring of absolute destruction” ~= "Moderate blast damage radius"
