Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?

They have a starter in a bomb and what this will do is shoot a neutron in the nuclear fuel starting a chain reaction


Sentence for radiation?

The Nuclear bomb poured out harmful Radiation everywhere within a one hundred mile radius.


How does an atomic bomb affect the people around it?

The damage from a nuclear bomb depends upon how close you are to the point of detonation and the yield of the bomb. For a 1 Megaton bomb, the immediate effects are:Instantaneous death: 2.5 KmImmediate immersion in whole-body fire: 10 KmThird degree burns: 12 KmSecond degree burns: 15 KmFirst degree burns: 19 KmThere are also intermediate term effects due to radiation exposure, and long term effects due to radioactive fallout.For more information, follow the related link below.


What is a radium bomb?

If you are asking about the only two nuclear bombs used against a nation in world war two, I will answer it. The nuclear bomb used in Hiroshima was an uranium bomb. The second one used in Nagasaki was a plutonium bomb.Radium could have been used in the neutron source, but is far too expensive and gives off too much Beta & Gamma radiation which could have damaged the bomb. Polonium was used in the neutron source instead.


Why is the hydrogen bomb the clean bomb?

A hydrogen bomb can be either clean, conventional, or salted depending on the material used for the fusion (secondary) stage tamper and how it interacts with the high energy fusion reaction neutrons.a clean hydrogen bomb uses a tamper material that does not capture or fission when hit by the high energy neutrons. Lead is one such material. Significant yield is sacrificed compared to a conventional hydrogen bomb.a conventional hydrogen bomb uses depleted or natural uranium as the tamper material, which fissions when hit by the high energy neutrons providing up to 90% of the bomb's yield and fallout.a salted hydrogen bomb uses materials in the tamper that readily capture neutrons and produce highly radioactive isotopes in the fallout.Note a very very clean hydrogen bomb has a tamper material so transparent to neutrons that almost all escape in a flash: this is sometimes called a neutron bomb!

What is the surprising effect of the neutron bomb?

A neutron bomb, or enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a type of tactical nuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation rather than explosive energy. Neutron bomb would use nuclear fusion, but in a different way. The detonation of a neutron bomb would still produce an explosion, but one much smaller than a standard nuclear weapon's. The main effect of a neutron bomb would be the release of high-energy neutrons that would take lives far beyond the blast area. The result: fewer buildings, cars, tanks, roads, highways and other structures destroyed.


Why neutron bomb is known as smart bomb?

It is not. A "smart" bomb is one with a guidance system that guides it directly to the target. A "Neutron" bomb is a specialized form of nuclear weapon that produces relatively little blast, but releases more immediate nuclear radiation than most other nuclear weapons

What are the lyrics to The Neutron Bomb by The Controllers?

The Controllers' "Neutron Bomb" begins with a poem from WWII about a disemboweled gunner on a bomber over Europe. Then it goes: Some people think atomic bombs are weird But I don't want to end up seared By the Neutron Bomb Very strange! By the Neutron Bomb Cold War exchange! I can't get up Might get blown up Neutrons falling down Might as well hang around For the Neutron Bomb Try heading over to www.lyrics.com and search "The Controllers" and see if the band and song come up. If that doesnt work, try searchng the artist and song name on google (:


Which country was the First to develop a neutron bomb?

No country is known to currently have neutron bombs. The concept was developed in the US in the early 1960s (and some testing along those lines was done by, at least, the US and France in the mid-1960s), and France actually tested a full neutron bomb in 1980.


What is neutron bomb made of?

An enhanced radiation weapon or "neutron bomb" is most likely simply a thermonuclear weapons (or "hydrogen bomb") whose radiation case is made of a material transparent to neutrons like nickel. Instead of using a heavy metal like uranium or lead to contain the neutrons, they are allowed to escape, thus providing a burst of fast neutrons, whose effects you can guess. Contrary to popular belief, an ERW does produce a very large explosion.


What two effects did the Atomic Bomb have on World War 1?

Is a neutron bomb more deadlier than a nuclear bomb?

A neutron bomb is a nuclear bomb.Specifically a neutron bomb is a modified fusion (hydrogen) bomb.In a standard fusion bomb the fusion tamper is Uranium-238. This absorbs the high energy fusion neutrons and fissions, producing roughly 90% of the yield of the fusion bomb and most of the fallout.If instead we change the fusion tamper to a different dense metal with a much much smaller cross-section for absorbing neutrons, then most of them escape. This is a "neutron" bomb. If everything else is the same, it has only about 10% of the yield and a tiny fraction of the fallout of the standard fusion bomb (making it a "clean" bomb).Sometimes the neutron bomb is considered an anti-tank weapon, as the neutrons can pass through the tank and irradiate the crew while the lower yield and fallout produce less blast damage and radiological contamination.However the high neutron flux induces secondary radioactivity in most exposed materials. This is also a form of radiological contamination, but cannot be washed off like fallout.
