Ok, so I have schoolwork to do today so I can't DPRK all day but I have some thoughts post #NukeTest6 of DORK-2 aka Mr. Peanut.

2/n We don't know for sure if DPRK tested Mr. Peanut. Probably (IMO), but 120kt-150kt COULD BE just boosted. HT

For 120-150 kt, you have to imagine that either they have a VERY big fission bomb, or they are like mastering of boosting.

What would you say is generally decent multiplication of yield for boosting?
-
Seconded. Looking for those data but don't have Hansen handy.... Interested in theoretical max boosted yield....
-
Hansen says could theoretically approach 1 Mt in yield, but that would be a big bomb. E.g. Ivy King but boosted.
-
So proportional benefit from boosting diminishes with increased fizmat amount? Lots of benefit at lower end of scale?
