What do you mean by nuclear accidents and can you explain two basic types of nuclear weapons?
A nuclear accident is the unintended release of nuclear radiation into the environment, such as damage to a nuclear reactor or to a nuclear weapon (plane crash carrying nuclear bombs, etc). The two basic forms of nuclear weapons are fission and fusion weapons.
What are the two types of nuclear reaction?
Nuclear Fission & Nuclear fusion.
What are the two basic types of disease?
the two basic types of diseases are viral and bacterial
What is the first nuclear weapon was made during World War 2?
The atomic bomb was the first nuclear weapon ever made during World war two and it was the first weapon that have been tested before Hiroshima was under attack.

What are two types of nuclear energy?
Two types of nuclear energy are: 1. Uranium, Sorry, only got one, but hoped it helped!!
What are the main types of nuclear energy?
The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.
What are the two basic types of age structure graphs?
Types are too extraordinary to be basic. Types are more doable
How many types of nuclear weapon are there in the world?
There are essentially three different basic types of nuclear weapons:Gun Type Uranium Fission: Weapon consists of two subcritical pieces of U-235 fired at each other at a specific speed to product the supercritical reaction and often time a yield of 10-15 Kt based on amount of fissile material used, and level of design. (Hiroshima Type Design)Plutonium Implosion Design: Weapon consists of normally a sphere of subcritical P-239 that is surrounded by explosives. Upon carefully timed detonation of these explosives surrounding the Plutonium sphere, the Plutonium compresses to a supercritical state and the full yield nuclear detonation occurs. (Nagasaki Type Design)Multi-Stage Thermonuclear Weapon: This design uses the Teller-Ulam design principle. All modern nuclear weapons in the United States Arsenal consist of this design. This weapon utilizes a Fission weapon to detonate a secondary Fusion stage. (Operation Castle Shot Bravo Test Weapon)This is a basic overview of the three different primary weapons, there are many variations and offshoots of these designs.Specific details on all of these weapons designs are still highly classified.
What are two types of nuclear reaction?
