The references I have state Oralloy is 93.5% U235. Oralloy (Oak Ridge Alloy) was used in US Uranium atomic bombs as the fissile material. However they also say that any enrichment 20% U235 or higher is fissile and could be used to make a bomb, it would require a higher critical mass to work though. One source I have states that early Soviet Uranium atomic bombs used ~97% U235, but the US felt this level of enrichment to be unnecessary and excessively expensive.

Who worked on the first atomic bomb?
The Atomic Bomb was not "discovered". It was designed and created.
What do you called in an element having the same atomic number but different atomic masses?
Isotopes. eg U235 and U238. Both Uranium, atomic number 92, bur different isotopes.
What is another word for atomic?
If you mean "atomic" as in the Atomic Bomb, then the word "nuclear" could be substituted = Nuclear Bomb.
Is there fluoride in the atomic bomb?
Yes, it was one of the main ingredients for the atomic bomb. You can google it.
Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen or fusion bomb will be ten times more powerful than the original fission atomic bomb.
What elements does the atomic bomb use?
There are many different elements involved in the construction of an atomic bomb, but the elements that actually cause an atomic explosion are either uranium (specifically the U235 isotope) or plutonium.
What is the atomic bomb design?
The atomic bomb is sphere shaped and weird. An atomic explosion is made by taking two halves of a critical mass of fissile material (plutonium or U235) and pushing them together very rapidly. Atomic bombs use conventional explosives to move the fissile material fast enough. If it does not move fast enough it just overheats and melts, rather than exploding. That's the key to designing an atomic bomb. Good luck!
Is Pakistani bomb is an Islamic bomb?
If you consider the US atomic bomb is a Christian bomb, the French atomic bomb is also Christian bomb and so on, then you can name the Pakistani atomic bomb an Islamic bomb.
How was an atomic bomb repaired?
how was the atomic bomb repaired
Who discoverd the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb is an artefact, and so an invention. Maybe you meant to ask who invented the atomic bomb ?
When did Pakistan explode their first atomic bomb?
18th May1998, but its not atomic bomb (its nuclear bomb)
Why Germany did not drop atomic bomb?
Germany never had an atomic bomb.
Is there a timeline for the atomic bomb?
porket may atomic , bomb agad,
Who created and used the atomic bomb?

Did Thomas Edison build the atomic bomb?

How did atomic theory lead to the atomic bomb discovery?
the atomic bomb was not discovered, it was invented then built.
On 1945 was the bomb dropped on hiroshima a atomic bomb or a uranium bomb?
It was both: an atomic bomb using uranium as its fuel.
