- prompt radiation is emitted at the time of detonation and propagates in straight lines from the fireball in all directions; prompt radiation is neutrons, gamma rays, x-rays, UV, light, IR, with smaller amounts of microwave and radio waves
- delayed radiation is mostly in the form of fallout and spreads by the winds (in an atmospheric detonation), water currents (in an underwater detonation), or by following the earth's magnetic field lines (in a detonation in space; delayed radiation is mostly alpha, beta, and gamma rays

Sentence for radiation?
The Nuclear bomb poured out harmful Radiation everywhere within a one hundred mile radius.
What metals reflect radiation from a nuclear bomb?
Other than the light, heat, and UV radiation (which can be reflected by most metals) from a nuclear bomb, nothing can reflect the radiation.The various forms of nuclear radiation are absorbed not reflected:alpha radiation is completely absorbed by one ordinary sheet of paper, no metal is neededbeta radiation can be absorbed by most metals very efficientlygamma radiation is poorly absorbed and can pass through many feet of even very dense metals like lead and uraniumneutron radiation is poorly absorbed and can pass through many feet of even very dense metals like lead
What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
Which type of nuclear reaction is used in modern-day nuclear reactors?
Nuclear fission is used in nuclear weapons to create what some might call an atomic blast (nuclear blast). Nuclear fission used this way can also be applied in special complex designs to generate enough thermal energy (heat) to initiate a fusion reaction. This creates an even bigger nuclear blast.
What did bohr do and create?
Niels Bohr (the father, not the son who also got a Nobel prize) is known for: - Nuclear models with layers explaining radiation - Contributions to quantum mechanics - Political work after WWII to put the nuclear bomb under UN control
What is radiation and how is it once spread once a bomb detonates?
everyone dies and you get analed
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
What does the ICBM do in Civilization IV?
When fired it detonates a nuclear bomb on the target square and the 8 squares surrounding it.
Does a nuclear bomb have radiation in it?

How do you put radiation in a simple sentence?
The nuclear bomb produced deadly radiation.
What can the nuclear bomb do?
Nuclear = causes radiation, which causes sicknesses & abnormal birth of infants
What is happens if a nuclear bomb thrown in the outer space?
When it detonates it produces new radiation belts captured in earth's magnetic field and produces Auroral displays near the poles. The radiation belts take a few weeks to dissipate and have severely damaged early satellites passing through them. One Gemini mission was delayed after a US nuclear test in space to avoid exposing the astronauts.

the impact of the nuclear bomb?
Blasts, thermal radiation, and prompt ionizing radiation causing significant destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear detonation.
What damage does a nuclear bomb to a regular bomb?
first off, of course, a nuclear bomb is thousands of times stronger than a normal bomb. a nuclear bomb also carries radiation, energy that causes poisoning and cancer, while most normal bombs cant do that.
Who as the nuclear bomb that can destroy the human race?
Nobody has a bomb big enough to destroy the earth. The problem is, if one person detonates a nuke, there will be retaliation by other countries. This will lead to nuclear war, and ultimately the extinction of the human race and most other species of animals.
