What is a radium bomb?
If you are asking about the only two nuclear bombs used against a nation in world war two, I will answer it. The nuclear bomb used in Hiroshima was an uranium bomb. The second one used in Nagasaki was a plutonium bomb.Radium could have been used in the neutron source, but is far too expensive and gives off too much Beta & Gamma radiation which could have damaged the bomb. Polonium was used in the neutron source instead.

Is radium less powerful than uranium?
