Summary

Description	English: Logarithmic scatterplot comparing the yield (in kilotons) and weight (in kilograms) of all nuclear weapons developed by the United States, 1945-1993. Weapons variable yield and weight have been plotted at their highest yield and weight. Also indicated on the graph are a few characteristics of the weapons (Little Boy and Fat Man, the early H-bombs, small tactical weapons, and weapons in the enduring stockpile separated by missile warheads and air-dropped bombs). Processed first in Microsoft Excel and then re-plotted in Inkscape by User:Fastfission.
