I could calculate the dimensions of the various parts needed from data in unclassified nuclear engineering books I have, write a hydrodynamics simulation on my laptop, and a neutron diffusion simulation on my laptop and almost certainly design one with better yield and efficiency than the WW2 bombs. However the next step of getting real materials is much harder unless you have the assets of a country.
Uranium is the element commonly used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants and as the primary material for nuclear bombs. It undergoes nuclear reactions such as fission to release large amounts of energy.
For bombs such as atomic or nuclear, I believe it is a nuclear engineer.
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
Actinium itself is not used in bombs. However, it can be a byproduct of nuclear reactions and may potentially be used in the initiation systems of certain types of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear bombs are made of highly enriched uranium or plutonium. These materials undergo a nuclear fission chain reaction, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat and radiation, resulting in a powerful explosion. Additionally, nuclear bombs contain conventional high explosive materials to trigger the nuclear reaction and amplify the blast.
How to make nuclear bombs was solved over half a century ago.
It can.
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
yes
Countries want them, countries make the laws.
nuclear bomb = plutonium + weapon
Beacause millions of lives were taken by the nuclear bombs
No, China has several hundred nuclear bombs and has had bombs since 1964.
The nuclear material used to make the bombs was from Oak Ridge TN
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.
Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
