Megaton
A megaton (Mton) is a unit of energy equivalent to one million tons of TNT, commonly used to measure the energy released in nuclear explosions and large-scale explosions.
History/Origin
The megaton originated during the development of nuclear weapons to quantify explosive yield, with the first use in the context of nuclear tests in the mid-20th century. It became a standard measure for describing the destructive power of nuclear devices.
Current Use
Today, the megaton is primarily used to describe the explosive yield of nuclear weapons and large-scale explosions, as well as in scientific research related to energy release and impact assessments.
Fuel Oil Equivalent @barrel (Us)
Fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US) (foe) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy contained in one US barrel of fuel oil, used to compare energy content across different fuels.
History/Origin
The foe unit originated in energy and fuel industries to standardize energy measurements, particularly in the context of oil and fuel consumption, and has been used since the mid-20th century for energy accounting and reporting.
Current Use
Today, foe is primarily used in energy statistics, research, and reporting to quantify and compare the energy content of fuel oils and other energy sources in a consistent manner.
