What makes up a large percent of energy released in a nuclear detonation?
Most of the energy release is blast.
Nuclear bomb explosion detonation point?
The detonation point of a nuclear bomb explosion is where the bomb is triggered to release its energy. This can occur either in the air, on the ground, or underwater, depending on the desired impact and effect of the explosion. The detonation point is carefully chosen to maximize the destructive potential of the bomb.
What would happen if you cut an element into smaller and smaller pieces?
Elements = atoms If you "cut" an element into pieces, essentially split the atom, you release its energy. This is called fission, nuclear fission to be precise, and leads to a nuclear detonation. Depending on the atom you split, there will be a release of energy and radiation.
What radiation is release upon detonation of a nuclear weapon?
A nuclear detonation creates a severe environment including blast, thermal pulse, neutrons, x- and gamma-rays, radiation, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and ionization of the upper atmosphere. Depending upon the environment in which the nuclear de-vice is detonated, blast effects are manifested as ground shock, water shock, "blueout," cratering, and large amounts of dust and radioactive fallout.
What makes the sun so hot and why?
Nuclear fusion ======================== It's the same atomic process responsible for the great release of energy during the detonation of a hydrogen bomb, except that it goes on continuously in the core of the sun.
What type of nuclear detonation occurs above 100.000 feet and generates a high-energy electromagnetic pulse?
A high-altitude nuclear detonation occurring above 100,000 feet can generate a high-energy electromagnetic pulse (EMP) known as a high-altitude EMP (HEMP). This type of EMP can have long-range effects on electronic equipment and infrastructure by disrupting or damaging their functionality through the release of energy.
What is the difference between nuclear reaction in a nuclear pl ant and in a nuclear bomb?
The answer can certainly be more complicated and detailed, but simply- the reaction in a nuclear power point is designed to be a "slow" controlled reaction that can be monitored and "shut down", with a nuclear power point having multiple safeguards. To the contrary, a nuclear weapon's reaction is designed to be the opposite- violent and uncontrollable so that once detonation has begun, the results are catastrophic.
What is the word that means waves that are produced in nuclear explosions?
The word you are looking for is "blast wave," which is a type of shock wave created by the sudden release of energy during a nuclear explosion. Blast waves travel outwards in all directions from the point of detonation, causing destruction and damage to surrounding structures.
Which type of nuclear detonation?
Nuclear detonations can be classified into two main types: fission and fusion. Fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei, while fusion combines atomic nuclei to release energy. Fission is typically used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs, while fusion is used in more powerful thermonuclear weapons.
What does a nuclear power plant release in he air when it expoldes?
When a nuclear power plant explodes the largest worry is that the fuel source, like Uranium or Plutonium, will be released. This in turn would release huge amounts of radiation into the surrounding area.
How much heat would a nuclear bomb produce?
The amount of heat produced by a nuclear bomb varies depending on the size of the bomb. A typical nuclear bomb can release millions to billions of degrees of heat within milliseconds, resulting in temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun at the point of detonation.
