Proposed Move

[edit]

I've just finished disambiguating 118 links to this page. Of those, only six referred to anything but the unit of energy. Based on this, I'd strongly recommend deleting the present Megaton (disambiguation), moving this dab page there, and then setting up Megaton as a redirect to TNT equivalent. The other meanings are already referenced in hatnotes. Nick Number (talk) 21:30, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I totally agree with Nick. "Megaton" has only one common use and that is as a measure of explosive yield for nuclear weapons, being, by definition equal to precisely 4.184x1015 joules. This is based on the National Institute of Standards TNT equivalent of 4184 J/gm.Magneticlifeform (talk) 05:52, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
