Name the element once enriched can form the core of a nuclear bomb?
Uranium hexafluoride (hex) is a compound of uranium that becomes a gas when heated. In gaseous form, it can be "enriched". Enriched uranium is needed for research reactors, most non-Canadian power reactors, and bombs.
What is the use of plutonium in a nuclear bomb?
Plutonium is used as the fissile material in the core of a nuclear bomb. When a critical mass of plutonium is rapidly brought together, a chain reaction occurs, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.
What metallic element is used in nuclear weapons?
Plutonium is the metallic element used in nuclear weapons. It is highly fissile, meaning it can undergo nuclear fission and sustain a chain reaction in a nuclear bomb.
What was discovered in the ashes of the first h-bomb?
The discovery in the ashes of the first H-bomb was the element einsteinium. This element was created during the nuclear fusion reactions that occurred in the bomb. Einsteinium is a synthetic element named after physicist Albert Einstein.
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
Name the element once enriched can form the core of a nuclear bomb?
Uranium hexafluoride (hex) is a compound of uranium that becomes a gas when heated. In gaseous form, it can be "enriched". Enriched uranium is needed for research reactors, most non-Canadian power reactors, and bombs.
Are there explosives in a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear bomb contains a radioactive element that is caused to react at a certain time, so technically no.
How heavy are nuclear bomb in the film the core?
I doubt the movie says.
What is the difference between a atomic bomb and a nuclear core?
An atomic bomb is a complete deliverable bomb, including all nonnuclear components. The nuclear core is a rather small part, typically between 2 to 3 inches in diameter that contains the fissile fuel that when made supercritical by conventional explosives in the bomb fissions and provides the energy to drive the actual nuclear explosion.
How do you create the element Chaos in Doodle Devil on the Ipod?
war+nuclear bomb
What was the nuclear core of the atomic bomb?
fissile material: highly enriched uranium or plutonium
What is the use of plutonium in a nuclear bomb?
Plutonium is used as the fissile material in the core of a nuclear bomb. When a critical mass of plutonium is rapidly brought together, a chain reaction occurs, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
What metallic element is used in nuclear weapons?
Plutonium is the metallic element used in nuclear weapons. It is highly fissile, meaning it can undergo nuclear fission and sustain a chain reaction in a nuclear bomb.
How many nuclear bombs?
there were two types of nuclear bombs. A "gun type" bomb and an implosion type one with a plutonium core
What was discovered in the ashes of the first h-bomb?
The discovery in the ashes of the first H-bomb was the element einsteinium. This element was created during the nuclear fusion reactions that occurred in the bomb. Einsteinium is a synthetic element named after physicist Albert Einstein.
What does a 'reflector' do in the core of a fission atomic bomb?
The reflector in a nuclear weapon core is made of a material which can reflect neutrons from fission in the core back into the core, instead of wasting them. A tamper can permit a smaller mass of nuclear fuel (an unreflected subcritical mass of nuclear material can quickly become critical if a reflector is used). Depending on the material, they can also have a neutron-moderation effect. The tamper in many nuclear weapons is also the reflector.
