Is a bomb shelter and a fallout shelter the same thing?
Capricornbabii01
No. A bomb shelter is for overhead bombs dropped from planes, etc. A fallout shelter is referencing a nuclear fallout, which would mean it would be safe from radiation.

What happens when two bombs collide?
This question makes no sense as an atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb and vice versa. They are the same thing.
Is a neutron bomb more deadlier than a nuclear bomb?
A neutron bomb is a nuclear bomb.Specifically a neutron bomb is a modified fusion (hydrogen) bomb.In a standard fusion bomb the fusion tamper is Uranium-238. This absorbs the high energy fusion neutrons and fissions, producing roughly 90% of the yield of the fusion bomb and most of the fallout.If instead we change the fusion tamper to a different dense metal with a much much smaller cross-section for absorbing neutrons, then most of them escape. This is a "neutron" bomb. If everything else is the same, it has only about 10% of the yield and a tiny fraction of the fallout of the standard fusion bomb (making it a "clean" bomb).Sometimes the neutron bomb is considered an anti-tank weapon, as the neutrons can pass through the tank and irradiate the crew while the lower yield and fallout produce less blast damage and radiological contamination.However the high neutron flux induces secondary radioactivity in most exposed materials. This is also a form of radiological contamination, but cannot be washed off like fallout.
Was there nuclear fall out from nagasaki?
Yes, on August 9, 1945, three days after Hiroshima was bombed. It was a different type of bomb from Hiroshima though. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was made by splitting uranium atoms, and was nicknamed Little Boy. However, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was plutonium. It was nicknamed Fat Man and was the same type as the first A-bomb tested at Alamogordo, NM.
Does the H bomb have radiation?
Yes. Hydrogen bombs are, in fact, a variety of atomic weapon.
Which is more powerful an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb?
They are the same kind of bomb: bombs that derive their energy from the atomic nucleus. It just depends on design and how much of the design yield is from fission or from fusion. Pure fission bombs cannot be built with yields above 1 megaton, but including some fusion the theoretical yield is unlimited.However considering mission, construction costs, size limits, etc. it is usually more practical to build low yield bombs that are part fission part fusion than to try to build high yield bombs of either type.The lowest yield nuclear bomb tested was the US Davy Crocket at 10 tons yield, the highest yield nuclear bomb tested was the USSR Tsar Bomba at 52 to 58 megatons yield (depending on method of measurement). Both were part fission part fusion designs, although the designs were obviously very different: the Davy Crocket was almost entirely fission yield, the Tsar Bomba was over 95% fusion yield and generated the least fallout per kiloton yield of any nuclear bomb detonated in the atmosphere.
Where can you get a fallout shelter sign?
I wondered the same thing not too long ago. Just look it up on Ebay, that's where I found mine.
Is the atom bomb and the atomic bomb the same thing?
Yes, it is!
Is there a diffrience between the atom bomb and the atomic bomb?
No they are the same thing.
Which is stronger the Nuke bomb or the Atomic bomb?
They are the same thing using different names.
Does shelter mean the same thing as habitat?
No. Habitat is the general area where something lives. A shelter could be just a shelter from the rain.
What does the blast impact of a nuclear weapon do?
Exactly the same thing as a TNT bomb of the same yield.
What is the nuclear weapon greater than the atomic bomb?
They are both the same thing.
Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?
No. A nuclear missile is a rocket of some kind with an atomic/nuclear bomb as its warhead.
Is the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb the same thing?
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
What happens when two bombs collide?
This question makes no sense as an atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb and vice versa. They are the same thing.
What happened to the animals when the atomic bomb went off?
About the same thing as happened to the people.
What is stronger a nuclear or an atomic bomb?
Actually, niether because they are both the same thing.
