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.
What else can I help you with?
What is another word for atomic?
If you mean "atomic" as in the Atomic Bomb, then the word "nuclear" could be substituted = Nuclear Bomb.
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.
Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is more powerful than an atomic bomb. It relies on nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined, to release immense amounts of energy. In comparison, an atomic bomb uses nuclear fission, where atoms are split, to generate explosive energy.
What radioactive isotope did the first atomic bomb contain?
The first atomic bomb, "Little Boy," contained uranium-235 as its radioactive isotope.
What element was used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima?
Uranium-235 was used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
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
When did Pakistan explode their first atomic bomb?
18th May1998, but its not atomic bomb (its nuclear bomb)
Is there a timeline for the atomic bomb?
porket may atomic , bomb agad,
Why Germany did not drop atomic bomb?
Germany never had an atomic bomb.
Who created and used the atomic bomb?
the us created 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.
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
What was the population of nagasaki after the atomic bomb?
the population of Nagasaki after the atomic bomb was 166,000.
