The fallout of an atomic bomb can last for days to weeks, depending on weather conditions and the size of the explosion. Fallout consists of radioactive particles that are carried by wind and can spread over large areas, causing long-term health and environmental effects. Evacuation and sheltering measures can help reduce exposure to fallout.

Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?

The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.


Difference between atom bomb and hydrogen bomb?

One takes large atoms and breaks them into smaller atoms--called fission (a-bomb). The other takes really small atoms and fuses them together to make larger atoms--called fusion (h-bomb).


Which one is more powerful A Nuke or an Atomic Bomb?

An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon, which includes both fission and fusion bombs. A nuke is a colloquial term for a nuclear weapon, which can refer to either an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb. Hydrogen bombs are generally more powerful than traditional atomic bombs.


Briefly explain how a hydrogen bomb works and how its differs from an atom bomb?

A Hydrogen bomb uses heavy Hydrogen or Deuterium to create a fusion chain reaction. Before that can happen however there needs to be a smaller fission explosion (atomic bomb). The radiation from this trigger explosion is directed into a hollow chamber like a bucket pointed at the atomic bomb, which contains Deuterium. Often there is a rod of Plutonium running the length of the bucket at the centre. This is designed to amplify the chain reaction and spark fusion releasing much greater quantity of energy.OK, you asked for briefly.atomic bomb at one end of hydrogen bomb casing detonates.x-rays from atomic bomb implode hydrogen bomb, heating & raising pressure in it.when at high enough temperature & pressure, hydrogen bomb explodes.An atomic bomb is just the atomic bomb mentioned at the beginning of step 1.A full description of all the events in a typical fission-fusion-fission hydrogen bomb consists of almost 2 dozen steps. A full description of the events in a typical fission atomic bomb is less than 6 steps.


How much power did the atomic bomb have?

The atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 had an explosive yield equivalent to approximately 15 kilotons of TNT. This explosion resulted in massive destruction and loss of life in the city.

What was one after effect after the atomic bomb was dropped?

Radiation and atomic fallout (radioactive dust/debris forming a cloud).


Is hydrogen bomb dirty?

We'll consider "dirty" to mean producing radioactive fallout. Since hydrogen bombs (fusion bomb) require the energy from an atomic bomb (fission bomb) they are a little dirty. Its mostly the atomic bomb that creates dangerous isotopes that contaminate the blast area, and regions down-wind. Now an H-bomb is generally "cleaner" than a bomb purposefully-design to create a large amount of dangerous, radioactive fallout. There are various techniques where one can change the type and duration of fallout. These types of weapons are generally use fission (not fusion) to create this effect.


Does a atomic bomb destroy a tornado?

Absolutely. However, the certain widespread dispersal of radioactive fallout would deem this solution a ridiculous one.


Is there more than one kind of atomic bomb?

Actually there are several types of atomic bomb, which include your basic fission bomb, the more powerful hydrogen bomb, the enhanced radiation or neutron bomb, the high-fallout cobalt bomb for maximum toxicity, and the pocket-nuke, to smuggle in your luggage in order to clandestinely destroy some enemy city.


How long did the war of hiroshima last?

Was nagasaki hit by an atomic bomb?

Yes it was one of the targets for an atomic bomb.


Where can you buy Atomic Bomb?

You can't.If you mean in a video game (e.g. Fallout New Vegas), then state which one you're talking about.


When was Nagasaki hit with an atomic bomb?

One day after the atomic bomb hit Hiroshima in Japan.


What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?

In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.


When did japan get an atomic bomb?

it doesn't have one


What is the difference between an atom bomb and an atomic bomb?

The atomic bomb killed millions of people in just one bomb , the napalm on the other hand , was nothing like it . Napalm is a chemical device ... it produces fire (it's also called jellied gasoline). An atomic bomb is a nuclear device ... and puts out considerably more energy.


What was the inscription on the first atomic bomb?

I doubt there was one.
