no, you cannot survive IN a nuclear explosion at all. everything INSIDE the explosion itself, which is roughly 1,000,000 C, is vaporized to an ionized plasma! everything including ALL metals!
one can survive near a nuclear explosion, but it requires some combination of luck and preparation. i suggest reading Dean Ing's novel: Pulling Through. not only is it a good story, but it is well researched and includes appendices with detailed instructions on how to make and use the various devices the characters in the story used to improve their survival chances.
It is a popular theory that the only animal that survives a nuclear explosion is the common roach, which by the way, considers twinkies to be it's favorite food. The roaches protect the twinkies from danger.
You don't, they are dead or will be dead in a few weeks.
No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.
This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
While there have been a number of very large blasts used in mining, and accidents in making and transporting explosives, the largest non-nuclear explosion (not counting volcanoes) Was probably the spectacular accidental explosion of the N-1 rocket in the former Soviet Union in July 1969. The explosion was the equivalent of between 6-7 thousand tons of TNT.
No, tornado sirens are used to warn of approaching tornadoes or severe weather, while nuclear explosion sirens are used to warn of an imminent threat of a nuclear explosion or attack. Both sirens serve different purposes and are designed to alert people to take appropriate actions based on the specific threat.
The range of a nuclear explosion can vary greatly depending on the size of the bomb and the environment in which it detonates. For example, a large nuclear bomb like the Tsar Bomba could have a range of over 50 miles for severe destruction, while smaller bombs may have a more limited range. The blast, heat, and radiation effects of a nuclear explosion can cause damage and casualties over a wide area.
The area that a nuclear explosion can damage depends on the size of the bomb and the altitude at which it detonates. A large nuclear bomb detonated at ground level can create a blast radius of several miles, while detonating a smaller bomb at higher altitudes can generate an electromagnetic pulse that can affect a much larger area.
Nuclear bombs primarily use two types of energy: fission and fusion. Fission refers to the splitting of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fusion involves combining atomic nuclei to release energy, both of which are harnessed in the explosive reactions of nuclear bombs.
A nuclear explosion is more powerful than a lightning bolt. Nuclear explosions involve the release of massive amounts of energy from the splitting of atoms, while lightning is a discharge of electricity between clouds and the ground, which is powerful but on a much smaller scale.
Nuclear power plants use controlled nuclear reactions to generate electricity and are not explosive in the same way as nuclear weapons or chemical explosives. While accidents at nuclear power plants can release harmful radiation, the likelihood of a nuclear explosion is extremely low due to safety measures in place.
Not if they are close enough. While tough, they will NOT survive heat, blast, and high radiation levels.
