As of 2024, eight countries officially possess nuclear weapons, and Israel is widely believed to have them but does not officially confirm this. A nuclear weapon is an explosive device designed to release energy from splitting or merging atoms, significantly more powerful than conventional bombs or rockets. The atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission, has limited explosive power. The thermonuclear weapon, which uses a combination of nuclear fission and fusion, is even more powerful. Kiloton (kt) and megaton (mt) are the units that measure a nuclear weapon’s explosive power, in comparison to that of TNT, a common chemical explosive. 1 kt is equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT, while 1mt is equivalent to 1,000,000 tons. Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima, Japan during the Second World War, had an explosive power of about 15 kilotons and killed 66,000 people. Tsar Bomba, the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever developed, was tested by the USSR in 1961 and had an explosive power of about 50 megatons. Currently, about 1,000 mt of nuclear warheads globally are ready to be delivered in a first strike.
