Yeah, it would get pretty crazy with the type of weapons we have today. That type of testing was banned in 1962 so we have no idea how much it would take out with a modern nuke.

To say thee truth, far less than back then. Tactical nukes are "precision" weapons after all. The Nukes from back then were made to evaporate whole stretches of the countryside because aiming technology wasn't that good back them so you had to ensure that it would blast your foe even if you did a gross mistake in your targeting calculations.

Today it just needs the power to take down what it needs to take down, since GPS guided attacks can hit things with less than a meter error margin.
