Want this question answered?
theoretically the yield of nuclear weapons is unlimited.
In any explosion (conventional or nuclear) most of the damage is from blast effects.
Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.
If by "bomb" you mean a conventional explosive weapon, then the nuclear weapon is more powerful.
Nuclear weapons are very powerful.
A king, a nuclear explosion, Zeus from mythology
Nuclear mass --> energy conversion is most of it. Conventional explosives start it.
Lightning bolt. The gods are more powerful than science, apparently.
nuclear explosion?
The Halifax Explosion occured in Halifax on the morning of December 6, 1917. The blast was the largest man-made explosion prior to the development of nuclear weapons.
The atomic bombs are nuclear weapons that use a nuclear chain reaction to create a Hugh explosion. The by-product of the nuclear blast is radiation.Atomic explosion is created by setting off a lot of dynamite around a core of nuclear material. The blast compresses the material together and makes it unstable.A hydrogen bomb is a much more powerful bomb. It is the result of a small nuclear explosion that compresses more powerful radioactive material together and thus creating an explosion that is 100 times greater than an atomic bomb.
