Bethe–Feynman formula

 The Bethe–Feynman efficiency formula, a simple method for calculating the yield of a fission bomb,^[1] was first derived in 1943 after development in 1942. Aspects of the formula are speculated to be secret restricted data.^[2]

Related formulaEdit

• a = internal energy per gram
• b = growth rate
• c = sphere radius

${\displaystyle a\approx (bc)^{2}f}$

A numerical coefficient would then be included to create the Bethe–Feynman formula—increasing accuracy more than an order of magnitude.^[3]
