What is thermo nuclear testing?
Testing of fusion devices. It is called thermonuclear because fusion only happens at very high temperatures. The prefix "thermo" means heat.
Why are thermo nuclear bombs more disasterus than nuclear bombs?
Thermonuclear bombs, or hydrogen bombs, are more destructive than nuclear bombs because they involve a two-stage process: a fission reaction triggers a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion. This fusion reaction releases much more energy and is more efficient at converting material into energy compared to the fission reaction alone. As a result, thermonuclear bombs are typically much more powerful and devastating than traditional nuclear bombs.
Nuclear reactions at very high temperature is known as?
Nuclear reactions at very high temperatures are known as thermonuclear reactions. These reactions involve the fusion of atomic nuclei, typically hydrogen isotopes, and release large amounts of energy. Thermonuclear reactions are responsible for the energy production in stars like our sun.
Why thermo nuclear bombs are called dirty bombs?
Beacause millions of lives were taken by the nuclear bombs
Has a thermo-nuclear bomb ever been used on another country?
no
Where is the sun's energy produced at?
The tremendous energy of the sun is produced in it's core. This is due to thermo nuclear fusion reactions. Some more info : As gravity tends to crush th sun externally pressure on core immensely increases as a result temperature rises. When the temperature is high enough(millions of degrees) it triggers nuclear fusion. This is the source of enormous energy out put of the sun.
Does a hydrogen bomb have a larger blast radius than an atomic bomb?
Trick question. The answer is vastly simplified--perhaps to the point of inaccuracy.Having worked on a system that carried either payload, I can tell you that a hydrogen device will produce a larger blast radius with less long term radiation than the same physically sized uranium or plutonium device, but that efficient detonation does not occur until above the 50 kiloton range--not much of an issue when the average size of the devices of the five NPT states is taken into account. Much of the radiation released by a hydrogen reaction is in the form of heat, hence the term thermo-nuclear. All hydrogen bombs are fusion bombs. Solely uranium and plutonium bombs are fission devices. The difference is in the reaction (fission splits the atom, fusion compresses two hydrogen atoms into a helium atom--similar to the mechanism of stars). Additionally, all hydrogen bombs also have a fissile component that is used to compress and initiate the fusion reaction.
How do you put a shovel up your butt?
By turning it sideways and nudging it with a small thermo-nuclear expolsion
What is the process which one or more substances are changed into others?
They could be chemical or (thermo)nuclear processes.
Why are atomic bombs classified as nuclear?
Atomic bombs release energy in two ways. One is a fission bomb where the nucleus of a large atom is split into smaller parts. The amount of energy in the original atom is greater than the energy stored in the small pieces. This is the energy released. Atoms larger than iron can release energy when they are split up. The other is fusion or thermonuclear. It is called "thermo" because it needs to be very hot for it to happen. This is where the nucleus of two small atoms like hydrogen (deuterium H-2 or Tritium H-3) are joined together. The energy of the single hydrogen atoms is greater than the combined pieces. This is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in the sun that provides us with sunlight and warmth. Atoms smaller than iron can release energy when they are joined together. The energy released in both types of bomb comes from the atom's nucleus, therefore the word nuclear.
What type of reaction powers stars?
Nuclear fusion reactions power stars. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms fuse together under extreme pressure and temperature to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. This energy is what fuels the star and allows it to shine.
What is the process in which one or more substances are changed into others?
They could be chemical or (thermo)nuclear processes.
