What is the difference between a bomb and an nuclear bomb?

Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.

Can you miss with a nuclear weapon?

Yes! A nuclear weapon (especially a small one (as much as small can be applied to nuclear weapons)) can miss enough to render the weapon tactically ineffective. This could happen with ICMS if the guidance system failed, sending the weapons (in a MIRV) into the ocean, or onto a remote piece of land.
