Nuclear Bomb Competition

For some reason I got crazy about writing here.
This is a competition for nuclear bombs. CA nuclear bombs are objects that are shaped like one (unnesecarry,but is better),that can be ,,ignited" and that will ,,explode" and make destruction in a long distance around it. Also,it must be made in Conway's game of life,not in some other automaton.
The winner will be the most destructive and long reaching one and that is the most shaped like a nuclear bomb. You have time until 7 September to make your competitor.
I have placed this in Sandbox for all cases. If you believe this can qualify for the Patterns forum,feel free to move it.
Have a good day!

Most simple example:
(nine and eight cells respectively, max population 201)

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 18, rule = B3/S23

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 8, rule = B3/S23
