some are, some aren't. they use fission, fusion, or both (in various amounts depending on desired effects).

Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear?
Nuclear fusion.
What is the different between a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb?
Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?
The same nuclear radiation is released by both fission (atomic) and fusion (hydrogen) bombs. Hydrogen bombs are larger, and produce more.
How many nuclear bombs make a megaton of tnt?
A nuclear bomb can be made with any desired yield from about 10 tons to well over 50 megatons in one single bomb. These numbers are just for tested devices that worked, there is no theoretical upper limit on the yield of fusion based bombs.
How do you prevent nuclear fallout in an atomic explosion?
You can't, it is always generated. However "clean" fusion bombs can be designed that reduce the fallout compared to a conventional fusion bomb of the same yield to about 5%. However the cost to build these "clean" bombs is significantly higher per megaton of yield than conventional fusion bombs.
Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear?
Nuclear fusion.
Are atomic bombs different from nuclear bombs?
Both basically are the same, they can be fission or fusion bombs like Uranium,Plutonium and Hydrogen bombs. A general description would be that atomic bombs are fission bombs. Nuclear bombs are fusion bombs. Fusion bombs are more powerful weight for weight
How is nuclear fusion used in the US?
Bombs.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
No place, we have not yet determined how to make a fusion reactor. Only fusion bombs.
What are some other things that nuclear weapons are called?
Atomic bombs, A bombs, fission bombsHydrogen bombs, H bombs, fusion bombsBoosted fission bombs, "dial-a-yield" bombsMultistaged fusion bombsClean fusion bombs, reduced fallout fusion bombsSalted fusion bombs, dirty fusion bombs, increased fallout fusion bombsetc.
Are nuclear fusion dangerus?
Well, fusion bombs are, but fusion reactors should not be (if we can build them).
The application of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
Very big bombs.
How could nuclear fission be used indirectly?
in nuclear fusion bombs
Destructive uses of nuclear fusion?
H-bombs
What kinds of nuclear bombs are there?
FissionFusionBoosted FissionMultistage Fusion
What Types of nuclear bombs are there?
fission and the fusion types
