How long does it take Russia to build a nuclear bomb?
The time it takes for Russia, or any country with the necessary technological capabilities, to build a nuclear bomb varies based on several factors, including the availability of materials, technical expertise, and existing infrastructure. Historically, the Soviet Union developed its first atomic bomb in about four years after initiating the project in the late 1940s. If Russia were to start from scratch today, it could potentially take several years to develop a functional nuclear weapon, depending on these factors. However, as a recognized nuclear state, Russia already possesses a significant arsenal and the expertise to produce more bombs relatively quickly if needed.
What is the most explosive substance ever?
An explosion generated by antimatter is four times more powerful then a nuclear bomb
What was the name of the first bomb dropped on Hiroshima?
The name of the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima is "Little Boy."
How much nuclear bombs make a mega ton of dynamite?
A single 1 MTon bomb will do it, or four 250 KTon bombs, or a thousand 1 KTon bombs, etc. However more smaller bombs can spread the damage wider than one large bomb.
When was The Four Faces of Nuclear Terrorism created?
The Four Faces of Nuclear Terrorism was created in 2004.
Is the atomic bomb a nuclear bomb?
Yes, both atomic and nuclear describe what mechanism causes an explosion. It is causes by atoms decaying, or the nucleus being split apart and releasing energy.More exactly, a nuclear weapon is one which derives its power from energy released by breaking intra-nuclear bonds (i.e. the energy that holds neutrons and protons together inside an atom's nucleus). There are four types (currently) of nuclear weapons:An atomic bomb is more properly called a fissionweapon, in that it derives power from splitting a heavy element (usually U-238 or P-239) into smaller elements.A thermonuclear bomb is one that relies on fusion, where lightweight elements (isotopes of Hydrogen) are pushed together. Currently, all such weapons require a small atomic bomb to act as the trigger for the fusion reaction, but the vast majority of their yield is from fusion.A hybrid weapon, also called a fission-fusion-fission weapon, is a thermonuclear bomb wrapped in a uranium shell to boost the yield by using escaping neutrons from the fusion reaction to ignite the uranium shell's fission.A boosted atomic weapon is a normal atomic bomb which has gaseous tritium (a hydrogen isotope) injected just prior to detonation. This gas undergoes fusion, increasing the yield of the weapon.

What was the difference in function and purpose between the impact fuse on the MK-III atomic bomb and the contact fuse on the MK-5 atomic bomb?
The Mk-III had radar and barometric fuzing, as it was intended to be detonated as an air burst. However, since nuclear weapons were so secret, the Mk-III (Fat Man) atomic bomb had four AN-219 piezoelectric fuzes installed in its nose, which would destroy the weapon, and prevent any recognizable fragments of the weapon, and elements of its design from being salvaged by the enemy, that might give them an idea as to how it worked. The contact fuze on the Mk-5 nuclear bomb was used as a "salvage fuse," in other words, in case the radar fuses failed and the bomb impacted the ground, the contact fuses were meant to set off the firing circuits to try and ensure a nuclear detonation. If the bomb hit the ground, it would probably explode, but the explosion would not create the symmetrical implosion which was necessary to produce a nuclear yield.
Does China have a nuclear weapon?
Japan doesn't want any nuclear weapons.But Japan can easily produce nuclear weapons if it wanted to. It has the technology to build nuclear weapons within 1 year-- probably a few months if it wanted.However, most Japanese people are against nuclear weapons. Therefore, they do not have nuclear weapons.
