All,

We seem to be fascinated by nuclear these days; hence here is another one:

Teller was already convinced that the 'super bomb' - fusion bomb - was possible in 1941. He did partake in the Manhattan Project.

What would be the consequences in the event that the Teller-Ulman solution was found earlier and a few workable H-bombs got developed in the megaton range?

1) Would those have been used on Japan
2) Would the fission bombs have been preferred instead of the higher yield?
3) If the available bomb yield was 2 Megatons (or more), how would the world have reacted to this?
