One cycle of fission takes 10ns, the explosion completes in about 1us, that gives 100 cycles of fission. Each fission releases 2 to 3 neutrons. Assuming that every neutron released in those 100 cycles triggers another fission and that the reaction is started by one neutron the range of fissions during the explosion is 2100 to 3100 fissions. This is 1.2676e+30 to 5.1537e+47 fissions. That is quite a few moles of fissile material.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if an atomic bomb was dropped on a nuclear power plant?
Big boom!!
What did the Japanese eat after the atomic bomb dropped?
Nuclear sushi.
What do you call the explosion called from an atomic bomb?
a nuclear explosion
Is it true that the atomic bomb couldn't exist without radioactivity?
Simply to put it Yes. Atomic Bombs is a form as Nuclear bomb and Nuclear products/elements such as Uranium 235 (a material used in a atomic bomb) emits radioactive particles. Radioactivity Particles = radioactivity.
Why does a mushroom cloud form after a nuclear bomb explosion?
Gravity if forming the clouds from the atomic bomb.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
What was the main purpose of the hydrogen bomb?
The main purpose of the hydrogen bomb was to create a much more powerful and destructive nuclear weapon than the atomic bomb. It was designed to release energy from nuclear fusion reactions, which is many times greater than that of nuclear fission reactions used in atomic bombs.
Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?
No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.
What is stronger a nuke or atom bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are actually the same thing. Both terms refer to a type of explosive device that releases energy by nuclear reactions. The power of the explosion depends on the type of nuclear reactions involved and the amount of fissile material present in the bomb.
Is a bomb a nuclear reaction?
No, a bomb is not necessarily a nuclear reaction. A bomb can be any device that is designed to explode and cause destruction, whereas a nuclear reaction involves the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei to release energy. Nuclear bombs, also known as atomic bombs, utilize nuclear reactions to produce a very powerful explosion.
Is a hydrogen bomb a nuclear type of energy?
Yes, a hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a huge amount of energy through nuclear fusion reactions. This energy release is much more powerful than that of a typical atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission reactions.
What type of nuclear chain reactions are atomic bombs?
What happens is the nuclear bomb explodes and something like gas comes from it and it disinigrates you
How is Atomic Bomb related to Nuclear?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that uses nuclear reactions to create an explosive force. It relies on the process of nuclear fission to release a large amount of energy in a very short time, resulting in a powerful explosion. Both atomic bombs and nuclear weapons involve harnessing the energy released from splitting or combining atomic nuclei.
What would happen if an atomic bomb was dropped on a nuclear power plant?
Big boom!!
Is a bomb an example of nuclear energy?
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
What were other option rather an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs are a type of Nuclear bomb and there are 2 types of nuclear bombs. The second type of nuclear bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
Why does an atomic bomb release more energy than a conventional chemical bomb?
An atomic bomb releases more energy than a conventional chemical bomb because the atomic bomb releases binding, or Nuclear Strong Force, energy while the conventional bomb releases chemical energy, and there is far more binding energy (hundreds and thousands of times) than there is chemical energy from the same mass of material.
