How far can a nuclear bomb's effects reach after being detonated and whats the after effects and how would we survive?
That depends on yield, burst height/depth, exact effect you are concerned about, weather, and many other variables.
Are nuclear reactors dangerous?
Yes, but there are risks associated with every type of power plant. Its simply a matter of understanding those risks and dealing with them. In the case of nuclear reactors, we design whats known as "defense in depth", so that any hypothetical failure, or sequence of failures, including some improbable failures, can be handled.
What do people mean by nuclear weapons?
Explosive weapons that derive their energy from atomic nuclei, either by the process of fission and/or the process of fusion. Such weapons can be delivered to their target by any means: gravity bomb from airplane, warhead on ICBM, depth charge, torpedo, etc.
What is the size of Nuclear Bomb?
For deliverable devices: the smallest I've seen was a 4 inch howitzer shell and the largest I've seen was 6 foot diameter 15 feet long. The first fusion bomb tested, Ivy Mike was 20 foot diameter 80 feet long with 2 foot thick steel walls and a 10 megaton yield. Typical modern missile fusion warheads are cones with about a 6 to 8 inch diameter base 18 to 24 inch height and a 300 to 500 kiloton yield. Nuclear depth charges and torpedoes are the same size as conventional depth charges and torpedoes. Nuclear warheads for cruise missiles are the same size as conventional warheads for cruise missiles. Nuclear landmines are typically a bit smaller than an oil barrel. What size would you like?
How big of a crater will a nuclear mizzile create?
Depends on yield and height/depth of burst.
How far will a nuclear bomb reach when it explodes?
That depends on yield and burst height/depth.
How many kilometres can a nuclear bomb blow up?
Depends on yield and height/depth of burst.
How big of an area would a nuclear bomb destroy?
depends on yield an height/depth of burst.
How big is a nuclear weapon?
How big do you want it to be?There are 4 inch nuclear howitzer shellsThe Davy Crocket dial-a-yield tactical jeep transported warhead was a 12 inch sphereTypical modern ICBM fusion warheads are cones about 6 inch diameter base and 18 inch tall (I've seen speculative sketches on these that estimate the fission trigger is roughly a sphere 2.5 inches in diameter)nuclear depth charges are the same size as conventional onesnuclear torpedos are the same size as conventional onesThe first US nuclear artillery shell was 280mm (11 inch)The first US deliverable fusion bomb was 6 feet in diameter and about 15 feet long (MK-17) and would only fit in the B-36 bomberThe first US fusion device (test Ivy Mike) was a steel cylinder 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet tall with 2 foot thick walls
What is the standard depth of a bookcase?
The standard depth of a bookcase is typically between 10 to 12 inches. This depth allows for books to be stored comfortably while also providing stability to the structure of the bookcase. However, there are variations in depth depending on the design and purpose of the bookcase.
Could a nuclear bomb hit and destroy Rhode Island?
That would depend on yield and height/depth of burst.
How much space for a 16 ft round pool?
16 feet? or 16 * 3.14 (pie) = 50.24 feet but whats the depth?
