What else can I help you with?
What mineral is highly reactive and is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants?
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What is a metallic element used in nuclear power plants?
One metallic element commonly used in nuclear power plants is uranium. It is used as fuel in nuclear reactors to undergo fission and produce energy. Another metallic element used in nuclear plants is zirconium, which is used to make fuel rods that house the uranium fuel.
What element is needed to make a nuclear weapon?
A nuclear weapon requires enriched uranium or plutonium as the fissile material to sustain a chain reaction and create a nuclear explosion. Additionally, a conventional chemical explosive is needed to trigger the nuclear reaction.
Which is the best fuel for nuclear bomb plutonium or uranium?
Plutonium is the preferred fuel for nuclear bombs due to its greater efficiency in sustaining a nuclear chain reaction compared to uranium. Its higher fissionability and smaller critical mass make it the more suitable choice for achieving the explosive yield required in nuclear weapons.
What element absorbs neutrons and is used to make control rods for nuclear reactors?
Boron is the element that absorbs neutrons and is commonly used to make control rods for nuclear reactors. Boron helps regulate and control the nuclear fission process by absorbing excess neutrons to maintain a safe and stable reaction within the reactor.
What is the main element used to make nuclear bombs?
It depends which type it is. It can be Uranium or Plutonium
What are good elements in the periodic table?
There's no such thing as a bad element. Take arsenic, for instance. It is very poisonous so you might call it a bad element. But you can't make silicon chips or LEDs without arsenic, so it's a good element. Plutonium is another one. They make nuclear bombs out of it. Bad element? Not if you're fueling your nuclear reactor with it and powering a city with the electricity.
Is nuclear power linked to the atomic bomb?
Only in that to make plutonium or tritium for nuclear bombs you need a reactor. While the reactors that make these materials can also be used to generate electricity, they usually don't. Also the types of reactors usually used to generate electricity are not usually designed to efficiently make these materials.
Why can't we find a solution for nuclear bombs?
How to make nuclear bombs was solved over half a century ago.
Can neptunium be used to make nuclear war bombs?
It can.
Do nuclear bombs make the air poisonous after they explode?
yes
Why are nuclear bombs legal?
Countries want them, countries make the laws.
How do you make bombs in Doodle God?
nuclear bomb = plutonium + weapon
What element was used to make atomic bombs dropped on japan during World War 2?
The weapon was developed by the Manhattan Project during World War II. It derived its explosive power from the nuclear fission of uranium 235.
Where was the nuclear bomb made in Tennessee?
The nuclear material used to make the bombs was from Oak Ridge TN
A radioactive element othen used in nuclear powerstations?
Well, they mostly use uranium in power stations to make electricity. PS: What the hell is othen??
How much electricity does plutonium possess?
Your question is slightly off. You could ask how much energy plutonium has, since plutonium can be used as a fuel to run a nuclear power plant and to generate electricity (although the usual use of plutonium is to make atomic bombs - the normal fuel in nuclear power plants us uranium, not plutonium) but the element itself contains potential nuclear energy, not electricity. Nuclear energy can be converted into electricity. I will also note that it is can't be converted directly into electricity. It can be converted into heat, and the heat can be used to boil water to run a steam turbine which then generates electricity. In terms of usable energy content, I am not going to give you an exact equivalence, but it is possible to create something like a 50 kiloton explosion (one equal to the explosive force of 50,000 tons of dynamite) with about 30 pounds of plutonium. So it contains a lot of energy.
