it was .65 kilotons or equal to 1.3 million pounds of TNT.

The problem with detonating 1.3M lbs of conventional explosive is that the shockwave sets of the rest, so the time of the explosion is longer than a nuke.

.65 kilotons, while a fizzle, is still about 25 times what our biggest conventional bomb will produce. The MOAB
