If you mean, did all the fissile material detonate unevenly or incompletely, North Korea has had some in recent years

They were all "fizzles" which is basically the same thing as a dud/misfire.

Yeah, that was in 06

The bomb the AirForce lost off the US coast wasn't a dud. It was unarmed when it was ejected from the stores by an aircraft that had been damaged.

Was the Tsar bomb intentionally made a fizzle? I heard its original design was 100 mt

It wasn't a fizzle, it just didn't perform to expectation, the U.S. had some similar incidents where a device did not perform up to expectation

I heard they cut back the design due to fear.
>>29407139
They lowered it to 50MT because they had no fucking clue what 100MT would do.

The original design used a uranium tamper, but a lead tamper was used during the test to reduce fallout.

one landed in the water just off Tybee Island near Savannah.

And the fun part is they STILL haven't found it
