That would depend on the yield of the bomb, the power rating of the reactor, and the lifetime of the reactor. Bombs release all their energy in microseconds, reactors take years or decades.

What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?

Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions


What is artificial nuclear reactor?

An artificial nuclear reactor is a device that initiates and controls a sustained nuclear chain reaction. This reaction produces heat, which is used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. The fission process in these reactors generates energy by splitting atomic nuclei.


What is an atomic pile?

An atomic pile is a type of nuclear reactor that uses natural uranium as fuel to sustain a controlled nuclear reaction. It is an early form of nuclear reactor developed in the mid-20th century for research and experimental purposes.

What type of nuclear reaction occurs in a reactor?

Nuclear fission is the primary type of nuclear reaction that occurs in a reactor. It involves the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei to release energy.


Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?

Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.


What type of reaction take place in a nuclear reactor?

Nuclear fission, not to be confused with fusion.


Is nuclear an atomic fuel?

Fuel used in a nuclear reactor is uranium, the active isotope is uranium 235 which is fissile.


What is the name of India's first nuclear reacter?

India's first nuclear reactor is called the Apsara reactor. It was commissioned in August 1956 at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai.


How is the chain reaction in a nuclear reactor different from one in an atomic bomb?

In a nuclear reactor, the chain reaction is controlled to produce a steady flow of energy by regulating the rate of reactions. In an atomic bomb, the chain reaction happens rapidly and uncontrollably, resulting in a massive release of energy in a short period of time, leading to an explosion.
