Element used in an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The radioactive elements plutonium or uranium are the elements that are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fission. Isotopes of hydrogen are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fusion.
What element is used in explosive nuclear weapons?
Uranium or plutonium is typically used as the fissile material in explosive nuclear weapons. These elements undergo a nuclear chain reaction, releasing a large amount of energy in a short period of time, creating an explosion.
What Used cycle as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
You question is far from clear, but nuclear weapons use a high explosive "trigger". The chemical explosives serve to crush nuclear materials into a very dense form, starting a nuclear chain reaction. There have been many different explosives used for that purpose- explosives used in modern day weapons is rather classified, and we don't discuss classified materials here.The chemical explosives used in most nuclear weapons since the 1960s have been PBXs (Plastic Bonded Explosives). However there are literally many dozens of different PBXs, each having different properties. PBXs were selected for safety: they are insensitive to shock or fire.I am not sure what you mean by "cycle". The only thing I know of with a name like that was cyclonite, an explosive used in some nuclear weapons in the 1950s, but it is very shock sensitive and thus unsafe.Some unclassified information on nuclear weapon explosives is available in Chuck Hansen's work Swords of Armageddon.
The element that is used as a ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The element used as an ingredient in nuclear weapons is usually uranium-235 or plutonium-239. These elements are fissile, meaning they can undergo nuclear fission reactions that release a large amount of energy.
What are common uses for plutonium?
Applications of plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators) • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source
What element is used as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
uranium
The element that used as an explosive ingredient ia nuclear weapons?
Uranium - 235

Which radioactive actinide was the primary explosive component of nuclear weapons?
This would be plutonium in modern nuclear weapons. Another actinide common in nuclear weapons is uranium. Nowadays this is usually found in the secondary of the weapon. The Little Boy weapon used against Hiroshima used uranium as the fissile material. This was a single stage weapon. A few other weapons also used uranium as the primary nuclear explosive.

How can uranium be used for war?
- Enriched uranium is used as explosive in some nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium is used for: - armors - projectiles - ballast
What is used as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
There are 3 types of explosives used in nuclear weapons:conventional explosives, to rapidly assemble a subcritical mass into a supercritical mass of fissile material; many different explosives can and have been used.fissile material; highly enriched Uranium-235 and/or Plutonium-239.fusion fuel; Deuterium, Tritium, and/or Lithium Deuteride.
What are common uses for plutonium?
Applications of plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators) • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source
Were nuclear weapons used in the Korean war?
No nuclear weapons were used in the korean war
How do you use plutonium?
For nuclear weapons. Very toxic. Applications of plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide. • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source
