Which type of nuclear burst occurs?
A nuclear burst can occur as a result of a nuclear explosion, which can be caused by either a fission or fusion reaction. The specific type of burst depends on the design and intent of the nuclear device used.
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to what?
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to the mass difference between the original nucleus and the fission products, as described by Einstein's equation E=mc^2. This mass difference is converted to energy, releasing a large amount of heat and radiation.
Can a nuclear reactor detonate the way a nuclear bomb can?
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.
How much plutonium used in nuclear bomb?
In the Nagasaki bomb, about 14 pounds. Design criteria on later weapons is classified.
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to?
It is related to the specific nuclear reactor design including the nuclear fuel amount and the reactor control system and the energy extracting medium (coolant) capacity.
What are some famous implode systems?
Some famous implode systems include but are not limited to nuclear weapon design, pure fission weapons, boosted fission weapons, two-stage thermonuclear weapons and pure fusion weapons to name some.
What is nuclear weapon with explain?
A nuclear weapon is any explosive weapon that gets its destructive force from atomic nuclei. There are two ways to do this: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Fission is the easier to achieve, it takes large already unstable atoms and splits them into smaller atoms with a fast neutron chain reaction. Fusion is harder to achieve, it requires heating and compressing small atoms forcing them to join into larger atoms.Few modern nuclear weapons are pure fission or fusion designs. Early ones were all pure fission, but now they optimize the design for size, cost, mission, etc. by using various mixtures of fission and fusion in different places in the weapon.From your question I am not sure how much explanation you want, or if you are interested more in general operation, design, safety systems/testing, effects, or what specifically. An encyclopedia is a good source for many of these answers. However remember that many of the important details are classified Top Secret-Q Restricted Data.
What is the rate of heat generation from fission of nuclear fuel?
These are approximate figures, but in the right ballpark. A typical large reactor will produce about 3000 MW thermal, and contain about 75 tonnes of fuel, so that means 40 MW/tonne. Or if you like, 40KW/Kg.
The element that is used as a ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The element used as an ingredient in nuclear weapons is usually uranium-235 or plutonium-239. These elements are fissile, meaning they can undergo nuclear fission reactions that release a large amount of energy.
What is the amount of heat released by a nuclear bomb?
The amount of heat released by a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its size and design, but it typically ranges from millions to billions of degrees Celsius. This extreme heat is generated by the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that occur during the explosion.
Which is stronger the Nuke bomb or the Atomic bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are essentially the same thing—in both cases, a large amount of energy is released through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. The term "atomic bomb" is commonly used to refer to fission-based weapons, while "nuclear bomb" is a more general term that includes both fission and fusion weapons. In terms of destructive power, the strength of these bombs depends on their design, yield, and delivery method, rather than the specific terminology used.
The differences between nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs include what?
Nuclear reactors produce exactly one additional fission for each fission reaction while nuclear bombs don't Nuclear bombs are runaway fission reactions and reactors aren't (APEX)
