The Yield Ladder
Every detonation whose catalogue prints a number, on one axis from a fifth of a ton to fifty megatons. Each gridline is ten times the last. Pick a unit to read the rungs in kilotons or in Hiroshimas, and hover the blue strip for how many tests sit in each step.
Unit
By decade
Documented yields by decade, four bins to a decade of yield. The megaton era is two decades wide and ends with the Partial Test Ban.
