Other than the light, heat, and UV radiation (which can be reflected by most metals) from a nuclear bomb, nothing can reflect the radiation.
The various forms of nuclear radiation are absorbed not reflected:
- alpha radiation is completely absorbed by one ordinary sheet of paper, no metal is needed
- beta radiation can be absorbed by most metals very efficiently
- gamma radiation is poorly absorbed and can pass through many feet of even very dense metals like lead and uranium
- neutron radiation is poorly absorbed and can pass through many feet of even very dense metals like lead

Sentence for radiation?
The Nuclear bomb poured out harmful Radiation everywhere within a one hundred mile radius.
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
Which type of nuclear reaction is used in modern-day nuclear reactors?
Nuclear fission is used in nuclear weapons to create what some might call an atomic blast (nuclear blast). Nuclear fission used this way can also be applied in special complex designs to generate enough thermal energy (heat) to initiate a fusion reaction. This creates an even bigger nuclear blast.
What did bohr do and create?
Niels Bohr (the father, not the son who also got a Nobel prize) is known for: - Nuclear models with layers explaining radiation - Contributions to quantum mechanics - Political work after WWII to put the nuclear bomb under UN control
When was there a nuclear bomb on mars?
Never, as far as we know.
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
Does a nuclear bomb have radiation in it?
yes
How do you put radiation in a sentenc?
The nuclear bomb produced deadly radiation.
How do you put radiation in a simple sentence?
The nuclear bomb produced deadly radiation.
What can the nuclear bomb do?
Nuclear = causes radiation, which causes sicknesses & abnormal birth of infants
What makes up a nuclear bomb?
Depends on the type of bomb. The first nuclear weapons were fission weapons- they used a heavy metal such as Uranium or Plutonium. These metals, when compressed by explosives, would undergo nuclear fission, and break into lighter elements, releasing heat and radiation. Later, larger bombs were fusion bombs. They used a fission bomb to start the nuclear reaction, but then used that energy to FUSE light elements, such as Deuterium and Tritium into heavier elements, releasing LARGE amounts of heat and radiation.
the impact of the nuclear bomb?
Blasts, thermal radiation, and prompt ionizing radiation causing significant destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear detonation.
What damage does a nuclear bomb to a regular bomb?
first off, of course, a nuclear bomb is thousands of times stronger than a normal bomb. a nuclear bomb also carries radiation, energy that causes poisoning and cancer, while most normal bombs cant do that.
How radiation is linked to chernobyl and hiroshima?
A nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. And in 1986 a nuclear accident occurred at Chernobyl. That's why radiation is linked with either of them.
Sentence for radiation?
The Nuclear bomb poured out harmful Radiation everywhere within a one hundred mile radius.
Did the atomic bomb and nuclear use to help us or for harm?
atomic bomb caused harm while the nuclear energy can be both harmful(radiation) and harmless(for electricity).
Would the radiation of a Nuclear Bomb effect a person underwater?
Well, yes because radiation can radiate through water
