A prompt fission is a fission that results from the immediate interaction, i.e. a prompt interaction, from a preceding interaction. There is no delay, or more correctly, neutron moderation, or any other intervening reaction, in a prompt fission reaction.

How do you make an atomic weapon?

You bring a critical mass of uranium-235 or plutonium-239 together long enough in a super prompt geometry to fully fission and maximally convert to energy in an uncontrolled fission chain reaction. Beyond that, most of the nitty-gritty details are classified.


What are the hydrogen bombs after effects?

basically the same as fission bombs but as the yield of fusion bombs are typically much higher the effects are typically much higher.Note: it is possible to build clean low yield fusion bombs with far less fallout than similar yield fission bombs, but the prompt radiation effects are worse.

How MeV is released during fission reactions?

In nuclear fission reactions, the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239, releases a significant amount of energy, typically on the order of 200 MeV (million electron volts) per fission event. This energy is primarily released in the form of kinetic energy of the fission fragments, as well as in the form of prompt neutrons and gamma radiation. The released energy is a result of the conversion of mass to energy, as described by Einstein's equation, E=mc². This process is harnessed in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs for energy production and explosive power, respectively.
