What is inside of a nuclear bomb?

A nuclear bomb typically contains fissile material such as enriched uranium or plutonium. When detonated, a chain reaction causes rapid nuclear fission, releasing a massive amount of energy in the form of heat, blast, and radiation.


What is the blast radius for a nuclear bomb?

The blast radius of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on factors such as the type and yield of the bomb, as well as the environment in which it detonates. However, the blast radius of a typical nuclear bomb can extend for miles, causing significant destruction and casualties.


What are the HARMFULNESS caused by nuclear blast?

The blast effects (which is all the question as worded asks about) would be the same as the blast effects of a weight of TNT identical to the nuclear bomb's yield (by definition). However a nuclear bomb has additional effects that the TNT doesn't, but as this question only asked about blast effects, I won't visit them.


Is Dilsukhnagar bomb blast a nuclear accident?

no, they were conventional terrorist bombs.


What is the difference between a fire bomb and a nuclear bomb?

A fire bomb is a conventional incendiary bomb: magnesium, napalm, etc. A nuclear bomb uses fission and/or fusion and is mostly a blast effect weapon.


Is unearthed uranium susceptible to reaction if it were exposed to an atomic bomb blast?

Unearthed uranium is not highly reactive to an atomic bomb blast on its own. However, if the uranium was refined and processed into a nuclear weapon, it could undergo fission reactions in response to a nuclear blast, contributing to the explosive power of the bomb.


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.


What is the distance of a nuclear bomb?

The blast radius of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its size and type, but typically ranges from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers. The impact of a nuclear bomb also includes heat, radiation, and fallout, which can affect areas beyond the immediate blast radius.


What can the nuclear bomb do?

A nuclear bomb has the potential to cause massive destruction and loss of life through its explosive power and radiation effects. The blast creates a powerful shockwave and heat, causing widespread damage. The resulting radiation can also have long-term health consequences for those exposed.


What energy nuclear bomb change?

Nuclear binding energy to thermal energy to blast shock wave energy.


Does a nuclear bomb turn people into dust?

A nuclear bomb can create extreme heat and pressure which can vaporize people near the blast site, turning them into dust. However, the effects of a nuclear bomb also include radiation exposure which can cause further harm and widespread destruction beyond the initial blast area.


What affect would a nuclear blast have on a hurricane?

A nuclear blast is unlikely to have a significant impact on a hurricane. The energy released from a nuclear blast is far less compared to the energy of a hurricane. The hurricane's strong winds and dynamics would likely dissipate or diminish the effects of the blast.
