Not at this time, the yield of hydrogen bombs (a type of nuclear bomb) has no theoretical limit. However usable bombs no matter what type they are have practical limits and we have already built and tested successfully bombs with yields far higher than can be militarily practical (nobody ever had a real military use for the 50 megaton bomb the USSR tested in 1961 called the Tsar Bomba!).
Edward Teller once proposed building gigaton range hydrogen bombs, but the plan was promptly rejected as the vast majority of the blastwave of such high yield explosions would only blow the atmosphere above the point of detonation off into space (the military wants surface damage not removal of atmosphere!) producing less surface damage than lower yield less expensive bombs.
The trend since the middle 1970s has actually been lower and lower yield hydrogen bombs that when employed as several explosions spaced across an area produce greater damage more economically than one higher yield yield bomb could.
==========
In terms of long term damage there are different types of nuclear bombs. Those which spread large quantities of persistent high-level radiation materials could be argued as "worst" - but they are still considered nuclear weapons. A "dirty bomb" which simply uses a conventional explosive to spread radioactive materials over a wide area to contaminate it could possibly be considered equally bad.
What else can I help you with?
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
What Japanese cities were bombed other than hiroshima and nagasaki?
Japan was almost destroyed when the nuclear bomb were deployed. Tokyo and Kyoto were bomb with fire bombs which had more casualties than the nuclear bombs but compare the two, the nuclear bomb were more potent.
Where were the first nuclear bombs dropped?
A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
Was the H-bomb worse than the nuclear bombs dropped in World War 2?
The early ones were. However there are now small H-bombs with yields as low or lower than the original atomic bombs. They are cheaper to build per kiloton yield.
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.
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
Maximam dengrus bomb between nuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb?
If you are asking which has the maximum danger, a hydrogen bomb is one type of nuclear bomb. In general, nuclear bombs can be fission (called atomic) or fusion (hydrogen) A fusion bomb is larger than an fission bomb, and actually uses a fission bomb to start the fusion reaction.
How is a fission bomb different from a fusion bomb?
A fission bomb relies on nuclear fission (splitting atoms) to release energy, while a fusion bomb relies on nuclear fusion (merging atoms) to release energy. Fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs and are often referred to as thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs.
Why are thermonuclear bombs are more disastrous than nuclear bombs?
Nuclear bombs use nuclear fission of some heavy element, usually uranium or plutonium. Thermonuclear bombs use the detonation of a fission bomb to ignite the fusion of hydrogen. Such weapons are more powerful than ordinary nuclear weapons because nuclear fusion releases more energy than nuclear fission, and because the process of fusion itself can be used to ignite more fission.
How much nuclear bombs make a mega ton of dynamite?
A single 1 MTon bomb will do it, or four 250 KTon bombs, or a thousand 1 KTon bombs, etc. However more smaller bombs can spread the damage wider than one large bomb.
What was the main purpose of the hydrogen bomb?
The main purpose of the hydrogen bomb was to create a much more powerful and destructive nuclear weapon than the atomic bomb. It was designed to release energy from nuclear fusion reactions, which is many times greater than that of nuclear fission reactions used in atomic bombs.
Did hydrogen bombs get dropped on Hiroshima?
No, hydrogen bombs were not dropped on Hiroshima. The atomic bomb "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by the United States on August 6, 1945, during World War II. Hydrogen bombs are a more powerful type of nuclear weapon that was developed later.
