A nuclear bomb contains a radioactive element that is caused to react at a certain time, so technically no.

Yes, there a Nuclear Bomb mods for Minecraft. There are also mods that have more explosives, including nuclear bombs. YellowYoshi101 out!


Does the US military have a nuclear bomb?

they have nuclear missiles. and they have many powerful explosives. and yes massive bombs.


Full form of a-bomb?

An atomic bomb uses nuclear fission at the atomiclevel to detonate several tons of explosives.


What happens if a fusion bomb if it crashes into nuclear bomb?

I do not understand what you are asking because of a definition problem. A nuclear bomb can be either a fission or fusion bomb. Also a physical crash of nuclear devices is most likely to simply detonate their conventional explosives regardless of whether they are fission or fusion (although modern low shock sensitivity explosives make this less likely than it was).


Is fusion the difference between a nuclear weapon detonation and a conventional explosion?

Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.


Is a dirty bomb a nuclear weapon?

No, a dirty bomb is a radiological weapon. It simply uses conventional explosives to scatter radioisotopes over an area.


What is the composition of a nuclear bomb and how does it work?

A nuclear bomb is made up of fissile material, such as uranium or plutonium, surrounded by conventional explosives. When the explosives are detonated, they compress the fissile material, causing a chain reaction of nuclear fission. This releases a massive amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation, resulting in a powerful explosion.


What chemical are in a nuclear bomb?

A nuclear bomb typically contains enriched uranium or plutonium as the main fissile material. When these atoms undergo nuclear fission, they release a massive amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion. Additionally, a nuclear bomb may also contain conventional high explosives to trigger the chain reaction and shape the blast.


How does bomb works?

Depends on the bomb. Conventional bombs rely on explosives- unstable chemicals that change to another chemical product, releasing heat. Nuclear weapons rely on fissonable material, When the material is crushed together by conventional explosives, a nuclear chain reaction takes place, releasing energy.


What does a nuclear bomb contain?

A nuclear bomb contains either enriched uranium or plutonium as its fissile material, surrounded by conventional high explosives. When the explosives are detonated, they compress the fissile material to trigger a chain reaction, releasing a massive amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.


What is the difference between a atomic bomb and a nuclear core?

An atomic bomb is a complete deliverable bomb, including all nonnuclear components. The nuclear core is a rather small part, typically between 2 to 3 inches in diameter that contains the fissile fuel that when made supercritical by conventional explosives in the bomb fissions and provides the energy to drive the actual nuclear explosion.


What are the chemicals that composed the nuclear bomb?

The main chemical components of a nuclear bomb are enriched uranium or plutonium. These materials undergo a process called nuclear fission, in which their nuclei split, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Other components, such as high explosives and detonators, are also used to trigger the nuclear reaction.
