This was 57mT, and it's the amount of blast compared to TNT, so this would be 57 million tonnes of TNT, yeah, nice huh.

force of blast

ok if this is a 1.6 megaton -RJW1977 bomb does that mean it weighs 1.6 megatons or thats the force of the blast?

Yes, it just puts in perspective how imensely huge that monster was! It caused third-degree burns in a 62 mile radius (100km) shattered windows in Finland 621 miles away (1000km) and the circumference of the cloud was 25 miles (40km)!

Interestingly enough it was actually the cleanest nuclear bomb for it's size.

how much radiation does this thing give off?

Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but this is not the Tsar Bomba. It's the RDS-37, and it's only 1.6 megatons. Russia's first true H-Bomb detonated in 1955. Three people were killed by this explosion. Research it online.
