What is the science behind the atomic bomb?
The science is that of nuclear physics. By taking an unstable heavy substance, such as uranium or plutonium, and hitting it with neutrons, some of the material will break (fission) into lighter materials, releasing energy, and more neutrons, which in turn cause more material to fission. This is called a nuclear chain reaction.
How do you turn gold to dust?
One way to turn gold into dust is by using a mortar and pestle to grind and crush the gold into a fine powder. It is important to handle gold carefully because of its value and softness, as it may deform easily during the grinding process.
What type of reaction take place in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission, not to be confused with fusion.
What do scientists have to do with the uranium before using in a nuclear bomb?
To use natural uranium in a bomb either of 2 things must be done first, both are expensive and require large infrastructure investment to do them:Enrich the uranium from 0.72% uranium-235 (natural) to 93.5% uranium-235 (Oralloy or HEU).Process the uranium to turn some of the uranium-238 to plutonium-239 in a reactor then chemicallly separate the plutonium from the rest of the irradiated material chemically.In WW2 the US did step 1 at Oak Ridge, TN using a gigantic gaseous diffusion enrichment plant and an electromagnetic separation plant; and step 2 at Hanford, WA using several graphite moderated reactors and large chemical separation plants called "canyons".
What is the fuel for three mile island?
The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant used nuclear fuel, specifically uranium, to generate electricity through a process called nuclear fission. The fission of uranium atoms produces heat that is used to generate steam, which in turn drives turbines to produce electricity.
Can a nuclear power plant turn into a atomic bomb?
No, a reactor is operated at critical and a bomb at supercritical. Also reactors include safety shutdown systems that quickly make them subcritical stopping the reaction.However reactors can have steam explosions and hydrogen/oxygen explosions. These are physical and chemical explosions respectively, not nuclear.
What did Zeus turn people into?
dust
How do you survive a nuclear attack?
The cold war is over but Russia may attack us with nuclear weapons. Get in a bomb shelter and pray like hell you won't turn into some fugluy creature.
Why should people care about the atomic bomb?
People should care about the atomic bomb attack because that is how WWII ended. It's a big deal considering that America was once allies with Japan and now they turn on the American citizens, so America decided to turn back on them and drop the Atom Bomb, or "Atomic Bomb".
Does the us have a bomb that could destroy all of north Korea?
The U.S. has thousands of nuclear weapons. It could probably turn the entire world, to say nothing of North Korea, into a nuclear wasteland if it felt like it.
Why does the sky turn black after a nuclear explosion?
It might be because of dust in the atmosphere elevated by the explosion. Particles of dust absorb and scatter visible light very well. And the sky turn to black because there is on light coming through dust clouds.
When was When Dreams Turn to Dust created?
When Dreams Turn to Dust was created in 1996.
What kind of energy is given off by an atom bomb?
An atomic bomb puts out many kinds of energy: Heat Light Radio waves Electrical And as these energies move outward, they in turn trigger many other types of energy.
Who expressed his worries about how nuclear weapons would be used?
Albert Einstein was worried that if he made the atom bomb that other countries would get this technology and in turn blow the world to pieces
Why did the topsoil turn to dust in the dust bowl?
to much farming
How did the atomic bomb turn out?
It did what it was designed to do.
Do particles turn into fallout when they are in a nuclear explosion?
You basically have it. Anything lofted by the updraft in the stem eventually becomes fallout (although some small amount may not be radioactive).Nuclear fallout is composed of:Oxidized residue of the vaporized bomb (highly radioactive fission products, unused nuclear fuels, bomb casing, etc.)Particles of the substrate below or around the burst (dirt, rock, water, etc.)Any particles (from anywhere) exposed to the high neutron flux of the fireball will become radioactive.etc.
