@APSHistory In the documents, they refer to it mostly by its official RDS codename, 202. Bo-ring.

@wellerstein You can also find specific references to it by searching for "58 megaton". -
@tarasyoung True! But usually "100 megaton" is a reference to it as well. Everyone likes to round up to the full version. :-)
