What would happen if a uranium fuel rod dropped onto the ground?
It would create a mini nuclear explosion.
What is the most powerful nuclear weapon?
The most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated was the Russian "Tsar Bomba" in 1961. (50 Megatons) It had a yield of 100 megatons of TNT, but was reduced to avoid fallout. People 100 km away would have gotten third degree burns from the heat of the explosion.
What would happen if you shot a uranium bullet at a sample of plutonium?
If the sample of plutonium was the correct isotope and near it's critical mass (300g IIRC) then it would gain sufficient mass to go super critical and undergo fission. This is the principal with which the first ever nuclear weapons were detonated. However if you're firing at a smaller sample it's unlikely there would be anything other than a chemical reaction with the uranium igniting and forming uranium oxide.
Would you feel safe living within 5 miles of a nuclear power plant Why or why not?
No. If there is a disaster in a nuclear plant - and those DO happen now and then - this can affect populations hundreds, or even thousands, of kilometers from the power plant.
What would happen to your body in a nuclear explosion?
Depends mostly on where you are relative to it and the yield. Other variables include:weatherterrainyour clothsif you are in a building, its constructionwere you near a windowetc.
What would happen to the planet if all the nuclear bombs detonated at once?
To the planet very little. To life an awful lot.
What would happen if NASA detonated a nuclear bomb on the moon?
The blast would probably be seen on earth, but as the moon has no atmosphere most of the force would go into space.
What would happen if Iran launced a nuclear missile at the u.s?
Wouldnt reach, dont have powerful enough rockets/good enough sea transport
What country would North Korea fire a missile at first?
North Korea would first launch a Nuclear Missile at South Korea, due to there past arguments. This would prompt the U.S to launch a missile, causing a nuclear war between communists and democracies.
What would happen if all the nuclear weapons were detonated underwater?
Bad water pollution with radionuclides. Fishing might have to be banned. Possibly radioactive rain and snow, depending on how deep or shallow they exploded.
Can a nuclear bomb destroy the atmosphere?
Yes, If it was carried into the ozone layer by a space ship and then detonated, then we would be in trouble. :D
Who do you think would feel most threatened by nuclear missile attack in 1960?
america
How many miles would a nuclear missile destroy?
It depends on the size of the Nuclear device, anywhere from 5 square miles and up
Which is the most destructive missile in the world?
I think its MOAB(Mother Of All Bombs)........ The most destructive missile would be the peace maker missile carried 12 nuclear warheads.
What was the potential danger of the Cuban missile crisis?
A nuclear war, which would result in a nuclear winter and the end of most if not all of life on Earth.
Agreement to limit missile buildup?
You likely mean to limitation and disarmament of nuclear weapons. This would be the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
What would happen if a 100 megaton nuclear weapon were detonated under Mount Everest?
No one has actually tried this before, and no physics engine has ever managed to imitate effects of such great force, so therefore it is quite hard to answer this question.
