In a nuclear bomb temperatures of 10 million centigrade or more are produced.
In a nuclear reactor temperatures of 100 centigrade to about 1000 centigrade are produced depending on type and design of reactor.

How much heat does a reaction produce?
The amount of heat produced in a reaction is not fixed. It depends upon the total amount of energy change that has taken place in the reaction altogether. Not only this, all reactions do not produce heat. In some cases we have to supply energy from external sources to get the reaction started.
How much heat is generated in a nuclear fusion?
Heat generated in a nuclear fusion depends on the resistance of the plasma and the current.
How much energy is needed to start nuclear fission reaction?
Incomplete question
When the reactants get colder in an endothermic reaction what has happened to the heat energy?
Endothermic reaction means reactions which absorbs heat energy to carry out reaction. So if the reactants are at colder condition, process/operation require much more heat energy,ie, heat energy consumption will be more.
In Fahrenheit and Celsius How much heat is produced by a 5Mt nuclear bomb?
Fahrenheit and Celsius are not used to describe quantities of heat. They're used to describe how deep an object is filled with heat. If the object is one that can't hold much heat ... like a stone or 1/2 ounce of water ... then even a little bit of heat can fill it deep in Fahrenheit or Celsius. If it's an object that can hold a lot of heat ... like a swimming pool ... then even if you pour heat into it for an hour, the heat in it won't get very deep in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The amount of heat you pour into the object is described in units of energy, like joules, watt-seconds, or foot-pounds, because, after all, heat is energy. The amount of energy produced by a 5 Mt nuclear bomb is a big number. So it's described as "the amount of energy released by exploding 5 million tons of TNT". That's what "5Mt" means.

How does the sun make its heat?
The heat and pressure in the sun's core is so intense nuclear fusion occurs spontaneously there. This reaction liberates energy, much of it ultimately in the form of heat.
How much more powerful between chemical and nuclear reactions?
A nuclear reaction is much powerful than a chemical reaction.
How much electricity is produced by nuclear power?
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
Does temperature change during a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Very much. That is how we get useful heat to make steam, to turn turbines, to make electricity.
What is the measurement used to describe how much energy is produced or used during a chemical change?
The free energy (delta G) is the measure of the amount of energy produced or consumed in a reaction. Enthalpy (delta H) is a measure of the amount of heat produced or consumed in a reaction. These two quantities can sometimes be the same. When they are not, the other missing component where heat can be consumed or produced is work.
Why does the sun give off so much heat?
The heat is produced in the interior, due to nuclear fusion. Sooner or later, that heat has to get out.It is kinda like the birds and the bees the have fussoin together to make heat :D
How does nuclear energy impact the environment?
Not much pollution unless there is a nuclear reaction.
How much power is produced during nuclear fusion?
To get an exact answer, you would have to specify a fusion reaction; different reactions will produce different amounts of energy. However, to get a rough idea, the energy produced is in the order of a million times more than the typical chemical reaction.
How much electricity can heat produce?
As much as you want, as long as you keep supplying heat. That's exactly how electricity is produced in nuclear power plants, and in the ones that burn stuff, like oil, coal, natural gas etc.
How much heat is generated in a nuclear fusion?
Heat generated in a nuclear fusion depends on the resistance of the plasma and the current.
Why enormous energy is released in nuclear reaction?
This is due to the fact that the forces between nucleons are very strong - much stronger than the forces between atoms in a chemical reaction for example.
