How many times greater was the radiation of Chernobyl than the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
TheChernobyl RB-MK type reactors contained around 140 tons of nuclear fuel up to 50 times more than an atomic bomb.
An atomic bomb only contains Uranium 235 (Weapons grade Uranium)
A Nuclear reactor uses fuel rods which contains the following.
Uranium 235 (Neutron Density 99.3%)
Uranium 238 (Neutron Density 0.7%)
(Uranium used in nuclear reactors is enriched by 3.8%)
And after Nuclear fission.
Plutonium 239
Fission fragments from depleted Uranium.
There are several ways to enrich uranium by filtering out Uranium 238 making it usable in warhead construction.
1. A Calutron (Uses magnetic attraction to separate Uranium 235 from Uranium 238)
2. A Gas Centrifuge (Uses a special kind of gas to separate Uranium 235 from Uranium 238)
I cannot remember exactly but there are more ways than listed here so this is just to give a guideline.

Why did the Americans invade Afghanistan Vietnam and Iraq and drop the Atomic bomb in Nagasaki and Hiroshima?
Truman decided that America should drop the Atomic bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima because the physical fighting of the 2 nations would have resulted in a greater loss of life for both Japan and the US.
How do the civilian casualties in Dresden compare with that of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The civilian casualties in Dresden, Germany, during the Allied bombing in February 1945 are estimated to be between 25,000 and 35,000, while the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 resulted in an estimated 140,000 and 74,000 deaths, respectively, by the end of that year. While Dresden's toll was significant, the immediate and long-term effects of the atomic bombs caused far greater destruction and loss of life. Additionally, the context of these bombings differs; Dresden was targeted as part of conventional warfare, whereas Hiroshima and Nagasaki were specific targets for nuclear warfare, marking a pivotal moment in military history.
Did scientists know the atomic bomb would create mutations?
Of course, they were well aware of the effects of radiation. However the immediate acute effects (e.g. blast, fire, radiation poisoning) were felt to be of greater magnitude and significance than any possible long term chronic effects.
How loud was the atomic bomb when it hit hiroshima?
a bomb is louder than you think it is it's about million times bad than you still think it is Love, Bryce who's a kid (who's a girl) and is 9 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who invented radiation oncology?
Radiation oncology arose as our understanding of radiation and its effects on the body improved and was coupled with a greater knowledge of cancer and how it could be treated. As x-rays were discovered in the late 19th century, the history of this branch of medicine is long. It would be unfair and inaccurate to ascribe to a single individual the invention of radiation oncology.

What happened to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in J apan?
The mortality was greater in Hiroshima because the city was located in a flat delta, in contrast to Nagaski's Urakami Valley. The Nagasaki-Urakami is enclosed by mountain ridges that shielded the city. Nevertheless, the instant lethal effect revealed consideration of the use of these annihilative weapons in warfare can be tolerated by man now that nukes of far greater destructive power are now available. - The real mortality of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan will never be known. The destruction and overwhelming chaos made orderly counting impossible. It is not unlikely that the estimates of killed and wounded in Hiroshima (150,000) and Nagasaki (75,000) are over conservative.

Is it true that the longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer the person is to the radiation the greater the risk?
Yes, this is true. The longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer they are to the source of radiation, the greater their risk of harm. The amount of radiation absorbed by the body is directly related to the duration and proximity of exposure.
What was done about the chernobyl disaster?
The Chernobyl accident was a major nuclear accident on April 26, 1986, at a power plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine. The actions afterwards were to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe, which involved 500,000 workers and cost about $18 billion.
What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?
Ultraviolet radiation has greater energy than infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.

What are the 3 pros of the US decision to use Atomic weapons?
It prevented a full scale invasion of Japan in WW2 and helped win the war with greater speed. Its use saved countless lives in WW2 by preventing an invasion which would of cost many more lives than those lost to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In its use allied casualties were non-existent which proved a pluss for allied forces.
Why is solar radiation greater in a particular area?
Solar radiation is greater in a particular area due to factors such as proximity to the equator, low levels of atmospheric pollution, clear skies, and minimal cloud cover. Additionally, the angle of the sun's rays and altitude can also contribute to varying levels of solar radiation in different regions.
Hich two methods of heat transfer are possible with liquids which of the two has greater effect?
radiation
Is radiation heat?
No... radiation is the movement of waves and particles, and influence of movement upon all other matter around it or in it's path... What happens though, is that it causes (excellerates) the atoms in any material it encounters (and that material becomes hot, the greater the radiation, the greater and more violently it will be heated)...
What happend when the jet plane invented?
The jet plane led to more and better jets that could fly greater distances. After the atom bomb was dropped by a jet on the two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, World War II was over, although some in America had been hoping to make more jet planes. This led to making the first transport jet airplanes and then the much bigger jumbo jets and airliners. Hope this helps.
