How does the neutron bomb work?
A neutron bomb is a type of hydrogen bomb. It actually was a development that came from the late 1950s work by the US to make "clean hydrogen bombs" that produced very little fallout. In a conventional hydrogen bomb the tamper (device to contain the nuclear reaction as long as possible to get as much energy from it as possible) is usually made with depleted uranium because of its high density and low cost. While depleted uranium will not support a neutron chain reaction it will fission when hit by the high energy neutrons produced by the fusion reaction of the hydrogen bomb. This depleted uranium fast fission can produce up to 90% of the total yield in some hydrogen bomb designs, as well as a proportional amount of the fallout. In a "clean hydrogen bomb" the tamper is instead made of some other very dense metal that unlike uranium will not fission when hit by high energy neutrons. Lead and tungsten have been used. However the explosive yield of a "clean hydrogen bomb" will be lower than a similar conventional hydrogen bomb because there is no fission in the tamper. But as these materials do not consume the high energy neutrons, they escape from "clean hydrogen bombs". It was observed that these neutrons easily pass through tank armor and building walls, killing those inside while the lower yield produces less blast and fire damage. Thus was born the idea of the neutron bomb.
How fast were the winds of the Flint-Beecher tornado?
It is impossible to know exactly how fast the winds were as we did not have the tools to measure a tornado's winds back then. But since the tornado was rated F5 (equivalent to EF5 on the new scale) winds were probably well over 200 mph.
Do nuclear bombs use nuclear fusion or fission?
Almost all modern nuclear explosive devices use some of each. The early atomic bombs used only fission. All hydrogen bombs use both fission and fusion. Some things you might want to look up are: boosted fission bomb, external electrical fusor neutron source, the plutonium "fission sparkplug" used in each stage of a hydrogen bomb, depleted uranium hydrogen bomb tamper can provide up to 90% of the total yield through fast fission.
How fast are the winds in a class five tornado?
Winds in an EF5 tornado are over 200 mph. Winds to just over 300 mph have been recorded in such storms.
How fast can a tornadoes winds move?
Tornadoes can have winds over 300 mph. Tornadoes this strong are extremely rare though.
How fast does a level 5 hurricane travel?
The categorization of hurricanes is not based on how fast they travel, but on how fast the sustained winds within a hurricane move at their fastest. A category 5 hurricane has winds of 156 mph or greater.
How fast do winds travel on Neptune?
2,400 km per hour
How fast do thunderstorms winds rotate?
very fast
How fast are the winds in the south pole?
Very Fast
How fast do storm winds have to be?
The regular storms have to be at least 40mph fast

What is the radius of the amount of land affected by radiation soon after the blast?
The exposure depends on the yield, altitude/depth, "dirtiness" of the device, and the winds. Deep underground or at very high altitude there may be no radiation exposure at all. High yield, surface bursts, and very "dirty" devices (e.g. hydrogen bomb with significant fast fission in uranium tamper) increase the quantity of fallout, which depending on the wind can travel hundreds or thousands of miles from the site of the blast in irregular patterns and produce lethal exposures.

The winds of a hurricane must be at least 119 km/h.
