Considering the thermal stability, impact sensitivity and detonation performance, A8, B8, C7, C8, D7, E7, F6 and G6 might be interesting candidates for use as HEDCs.
A summary and comparison of uncertainties in the radii of fires from a nuclear detonation with 1, 10, 50 and 90% radii error probabilities is presented in Figure 1 of this paper, taken from Binninger's Figure twenty-four.
We used a detonation 2 5-nm diamond produced by the SINTA company (Republic of Belarus).
The estimated magnitude of yesterday's detonation, 7 to 10 kilotons, equates to a small fission bomb.
Experiments were carried out involving the detonation 15 g charges of C-4 and Detasheet-C explosives in a closed vessel.
The data from the CVR and the FDR revealed that the recordings broke off after the first minute and 44 seconds of KAL 007's post missile detonation 12 minute flight.
Experimental and numerical studies of the detonation in NO2 N2O4/fuel (H2, CH4, and C2H6) gaseous mixtures show that for equivalence ratio Φ>0.8 1, (1) the detonation has a double cellular structure, the ratio between the cell size of each net being at least one order of magnitude; (2) inside the detonation reaction zone the chemical energy is released in two successive exothermic steps.
Nuclear weapons with larger than 100 Kt yields were found to generate predominantly thermal and fallout radiation casualties, able to cause burns and generate fires at distances considerably greater than building damage, and to spread lethal levels of fallout for many kilometers, causing radiation casualties many kilometers downwind from detonation [ 1, 2].

According to NOAA, in 2015 the oceans have accumulated an amount of heat equivalent to about 400 million atomic bomb detonations (27 zettajoules, or 27 billion trillion Joules).
According to NOAA, in 2014 the oceans accumulated an amount of heat equivalent to about 200 million atomic bomb detonations (13 zettajoules, or 13 billion trillion Joules).
