The World War 2 MK-III used 6.2 kg of plutonium. Smaller amounts of plutonium are possible using better explosives than the MK-III used and/or a levitated core design is used and/or if deuterium and/or tritium are added as a fusion boosting agent.

How is a nuclear weapon maintained?

From what I know about nuclear weapons: Tritium reservoir needs to be filled. High explosive section in the primary need to be checked for age and integrity. Neutron generator tubes need to be serviced Thermal batteries may need to be replaced The plutonium pits may need cleaning or reprocessing Software in the weapons triggering systems, permissive action links, etc., may need to be updated. Codes may need to be updated. If in a warhead, the Reentry Vehicle probably needs to be inspected Propellant in the reentry vehicle and warhead buss probably need to be checked and filled and those systems verified for integrity and proper operation Inertial guidance components in the buss and RVs probably need checking. In some modern weapons the secondary is contained in the canned subassembly which may not be serviced as it's fairly inert. of course the launch vehicle also needs to be maintained.

How many atoms are in 4 g of plutonium?

To determine the number of atoms in 4 g of plutonium, you would first need to calculate the moles of plutonium in 4 g using its molar mass. Then, you can use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) to convert moles to atoms.


How you build an atomic bomb?

To make a fission atomic bomb you just take either uranium or plutonium, which are fast-fission materials and find a way to smash the soul out of them so they can make neutrons to continue the chain reaction. You either just take some fissionable uranium, make a bullet out of one and a ball of the other, build a cannon-shaped bomb that shoots the bullet of uranium into the ball of uranium at the end of the barrel - and boom. To make the second kind, you need some plutonium. Plutonium is easy to obtain but it is extremely hard to make into a bomb, because if you shoot two masses of plutonium together like the uranium bomb style, they fission so much easier that they start reacting before they touch and blow themselves apart before anything can fission, so you will need to make a ball of plutonium crush in itself using a shock wave made by a explosion. You surround a ball of fissionable plutonium with explosive stuff. When the surrounding explosives goes boom, the shock waves made by the explosives hits the ball. This causes the plutonium to supercompress itself together - and boom.
