I remember them saying yesterday that initial indications estimated the yield of what they lit off as 550 tons, (the Hiroshima Bomb was 15 Kilotons) and they refered to it as a fizz bomb. Guess they were trying to use 550 tons of TNT to lite off a Plutonium core and it failed, if that is even what they were trying to do. That is far from having a Nuke that will fit on the warhead of a rocket.
