ugh there was 10000kgs in fatman aka 100 sticks
The Little Boy atomic bomb used about 64 kilograms (141 pounds) of highly-enriched uranium-235, not plutonium. Plutonium was used in the Fat Man bomb, which used about 6.2 kilograms (13.6 pounds) of plutonium.
In the Nagasaki bomb, about 14 pounds. Design criteria on later weapons is classified.
To make a fission atomic bomb you just take either uranium or plutonium, which are fast-fission materials and find a way to smash the soul out of them so they can make neutrons to continue the chain reaction. You either just take some fissionable uranium, make a bullet out of one and a ball of the other, build a cannon-shaped bomb that shoots the bullet of uranium into the ball of uranium at the end of the barrel - and boom. To make the second kind, you need some plutonium. Plutonium is easy to obtain but it is extremely hard to make into a bomb, because if you shoot two masses of plutonium together like the uranium bomb style, they fission so much easier that they start reacting before they touch and blow themselves apart before anything can fission, so you will need to make a ball of plutonium crush in itself using a shock wave made by a explosion. You surround a ball of fissionable plutonium with explosive stuff. When the surrounding explosives goes boom, the shock waves made by the explosives hits the ball. This causes the plutonium to supercompress itself together - and boom.
Much of the design particulars are top secret-Q but basically you need a mass of fissile material (usually plutonium) large enough to be able to reach supercritical mass and support an uncontrolled nuclear reaction. The explosion is triggered by compressing the plutonium by an implosion to assemble the initially subcritical mass into a supercritical mass rapidly (a couple milliseconds). once the material reaches supercritical mass, a neutron source is fired through it to start the reaction at the optimal time. about 4µs to 7µs later the bomb explodes. The longer the design is able to hold the bomb together, the higher the yield when it does disassemble.
The most powerful type of nuclear bomb is the hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb. These bombs use a two-stage process, with an initial fission reaction triggering a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion compared to atomic bombs.
Nagasaki (Japan) - 9 August 1945 - a bomb containing 6,4 kg of Plutonium 239
The Little Boy atomic bomb used about 64 kilograms (141 pounds) of highly-enriched uranium-235, not plutonium. Plutonium was used in the Fat Man bomb, which used about 6.2 kilograms (13.6 pounds) of plutonium.
Approx. 10 kg of plutonium 239.
In the Nagasaki bomb, about 14 pounds. Design criteria on later weapons is classified.
The cost of the plutonium used in a nuclear bomb can vary greatly, depending on factors such as purity, quantity, and production method. However, estimates suggest that the plutonium used in a typical nuclear bomb could cost millions of dollars.
Nuclear weapons with plutonium don't contain TNT.
Yes, the radiation was much more abundant after the atomic bomb.
That depends, an atomic weapon from WWII was armed with plutonium 239, bombs now use a more dangerous Uranium armament. In order to use the bomb, a smaller explosion much trigger a chain reaction explosion in order to create, for lack of better terms, a "big bang".
All the isotopes of plutonium has 94 protons and 94 electrons. For the number of neutrons of a specified isotope: number of neutrons = rounded atomic mass of the isotope - atomic number (or protons number) For plutonium-239: 94 protons, 94 electrons, 145 neutrons. The atomic number of plutonium is 94.
The first atomic bombs cost billions because they had to learn how to gather uranium and plutonium into a form that was good enough for a bomb and they had to design the bomb. Now a nuclear missile cost would be probably about a million or more. The cost of the newer missile is in the housing and maintenance of the missile.
much more powerful than other bomb ,also called a neuclear bomb
