Is implosion possible and what are the examples of it?
Yes,. One well known example is the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The explosives in the bomb were placed around the plutonium then exploded to compress the plutonium to the point where nuclear fission started.
What does an atomic bomb use for its explosive power?
An atomic bomb is made up from the inside out by: a plutonium pit(ball) about the sized as a honeydew melon. surrounded by about 2 inches of high explosive on all sides. This is triggered in a USA bomb by an intricate series of safety triggers that prevent accidental explosion by altitude triggers, timers, and arming triggers. Excess nuclear binding energy supplied by the strong nuclear force.
What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
Why was the hanford site chosen for plutonium production what secret weapon was eventually prouced?
Hanford in Washington state was chosen for its remote location and because it has a good water source. Folks in some small communities had to be relocated but things worked out, and the first plutonium for the second atomic bomb was produced there.
What fuel other then uranium can be used in a nuclear reactor?
In a pure fission bomb, none. Only high purity Uranium-235, Plutonium-239, or Uranium-233 are fissile and thus suitable as fission fuel. In a boosted fission bomb small amounts of fusion fuel can be added in a hollow pit construction: gaseous deuterium and/or gaseous tritium or solid lithium-deuteride.In a fusion bomb the fuel is solid lithium-deuteride. However the high energy (15 MeV) fusion neutrons can fission Uranium-238 used as the tamper causing it to provide as much as 90% of the final yield.Fuels:U235U233P239DTLiDU238 only with 15 MeV fusion neutrons
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
How do you make a atomic bomb on Doodle God?
plutonium + weapon
Elements in atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs contain uranium (highly enriched in the isotope 235U) or plutonium (a very specific isotopic composition).
How do you makes nuclear bomb in doodle god?
Plutonium+Weapons=Nuclear Bomb
Which is the best fuel for nuclear bomb plutonium or uranium?
Plutonium
What is the use of plutonium in a nuclear bomb?
Plutonium is the core of a nuclear weapon; the nuclear fission release an enormous quantity of energy and radiations.
How much TNT is in a Plutonium Bomb?
Nuclear weapons with plutonium don't contain TNT.
How do you make a nuklear bomb in doodle god?
Plutonium + Weapons = Nuclear Bomb
What nuclear material was used in the bomb that was dropped in nagasaki?
Plutonium
How do you make bombs in Doodle God?
nuclear bomb = plutonium + weapon
What is created out of 8kg of isotope plutonium?
atomic bombs(Nagasaki bomb) World War II
Is plutonium used in bombs?
Plutonium was used in the second nuclear bomb dropped on Japan in World War 2.
