Question:

During the Cold War, the Premier of the Soviet Union threatened the United States with 2.0 megaton 239Pu warheads. (Each would have yielded the equivalent of an explosion of 2.0 megatons of TNT, where 1 megaton of TNT releases 2.6 ( 1028 MeV of energy.) If the plutonium that actually fissioned had been 8.00% of the total mass of the plutonium in such a warhead, what was that total mass?
