I wonder what the potential really is - even at 10% explosive power, that’s still in nuclear range! Wild.

Edit: Ah, I found it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toropets_depot_explosions

The blast wave spread up to 200 mi (320 km) and was estimated to have a TNT equivalent of either 200 to 240 tons or 1.3 to 1.8 kilotons of high-explosives.

So shy of a nuclear explosion by nearly 2 orders of magnitude.
