Types of things that use nuclear energy?
Anything that uses electricity may use nuclear energy
Why was nuclear energy created?
Humans did not create nuclear energy, it was created shortly after the big bang when the first stars formed and began fusing hydrogen into helium. Later supernova explosions created elements up to uranium, which we can use as fuel in nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs.
What are the similarities between nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs?
Both have critical mass, and create energy from a fission chain reaction. In nuclear bombs, the chain reaction is uncontained and spreads to all the fissionable material nearly instantaneously.
What are some bad thing about nuclear bombs?
Nuclear bombs are so powerful, and release so much radioactive fallout, that any large-scale use of nuclear bombs would kill everbody and make the world uninhabitable.
Where does nuclear energy come from to make renewable energy work?
Nuclear energy and renewable energy are not related. Renewable energy does not use nuclear energy.
Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.
Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
Types of things that use nuclear energy?
Anything that uses electricity may use nuclear energy
Why are thermonuclear bombs are more disastrous than nuclear bombs?
Nuclear bombs use nuclear fission of some heavy element, usually uranium or plutonium. Thermonuclear bombs use the detonation of a fission bomb to ignite the fusion of hydrogen. Such weapons are more powerful than ordinary nuclear weapons because nuclear fusion releases more energy than nuclear fission, and because the process of fusion itself can be used to ignite more fission.
What types of energy does India use?
nuclear and wind power
What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
Do H-bombs deal with fission?
To some degree. Hydrogen bombs release energy via nuclear fusion, but they use a fission reaction to trigger the fusion.
Briefly how does a hydrogen bomb works and how it is different from an atom bomb?
In short A-bombs use nuclear fission, H-bombs use nuclear fusion. An atom bomb is more commonly a reference to fission bombs which release energy through nuclear fission. Fission is the the chain reaction in which unstable nuclei such as in uranium break down when hit by a neutron (from another breaking down nucleus) Hydrogen bombs on the hand use nuclear fussion is which two hydrogen nuclei are forced together to form helium and release energy. This is the reaction that occurs in stars and it more powerful. H-bombs as a result of their fuel are "cleaner" as they release energy but less nuclear fallout (radiactive material left over)
What bombs did Germans use in the blitz?
They used nuclear and atomic bombs.
Hydrogen bombs use the same nuclear process that powers the?
Hydrogen bombs use the same process of nuclear fusionthat powers the Sun.
Can matter be converted to energy?
Yes. We use that process when we operate atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, and when we generate electric power or run submarines with nuclear reactors.
What did they use nuclear bombs for?
The U.S. use nuclear bombs during World War ll to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki after Japan refused to surrender.
