>which look how you describe like an otherworldly ball of plasma.
Lier. Post the technicolor dream show, faggot. All I find are shitty still shops, and no film (awfully convenient)
>carbon from the ground
There is negligible carbon in dirt and carbon readily ionizes and vaporizes, there will be no particulate carbon after 100 terrajoules (or 50tj or 10tj or 1tj) of electromagnetic radiation rape.
>nukes don’t produce much electromagnetic radiation
Heat is electromagnetic radiation, retard.
>most is kinetic energy from U splitting into lighter elements
Hahahahaah you aren’t even trying! Only two moles of lighter elements are produced from every mole of split uranium, even worse in the case of a fusion bomb where 1 mole is released for every 2 moles consumed! For these to interact with the environment as a blast wave, they need to be dumping their kinetic energy into the atmosphere immediately, and can be treated as heat energy. However, let’s completely disregard 100% of the claimed kinetic output, the DOD claims 50:50 kinetic/energy release in a fission bomb, 50 terrajoules of energy is still more than sufficient to ionize and superheat the entire blast radius.

We should not see smoke, particulate carbon cannot exist in the claimed conditions of a “nuke” explosion.
