To quantify how well bedding keeps a person warm, scientists use a unit called “clo” (short for “clothing”). One clo equals the insulation needed to maintain comfort at room temperature while seated.

The bomb dropped on Nagasaki was 20 kilotons. Today, that’s considered small. Such are the descriptive words of nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein, who created the generally cited NUKEMAP simulator.
