@wellerstein (Note that they do not call it the "Tsar Bomba" — the earliest reference to that name I've found is 1994.)
One of the earliest post-Cold War articles about the Tsar Bomba, when the casing went on display—Jane's, Nov. 1992.pic.twitter.com/nCiOtqrhui

@wellerstein did they really explode 30-MT devices as well? -
@alanrew Along those lines — 20-30 Mt or so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1962_Soviet_nuclear_tests … -
@wellerstein thanks. I'd heard of the 50-MT one but thought that was exceptional.
