Why are radium aand polonium important?
Polonium applications: - neutron source (polonium-beryllium source) - in devices for the elimination of the static electricity - in devices for the elimination of the dust - initiator in nuclear weapons - isotopic heat source Radium has not today practical applications.
How do get rid of missiles?
Missiles are disassembled by special experts who know how to handle the nuclear devices and to properly dispose of them. It costs about a million dollars to take them apart and they can take as long as two weeks. There is a show on Discovery com that shows these experts taking them apart. The US government has had well over a thousand taken apart. It is classified where the nuclear materials are stored.
When was the Russian nuclear explosion?
On April 26, 1986, Reactor #4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the town of Pripyat, Ukraine, exploded. From August 29 1949 until January 15 1965 there were 715 nuclear weapon tests by the Soviets (involving 969 devices) by official count, most at Semipalatinsk Test Site and Novaya Zemlya, and a few more at various sites in Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine. The largest nuclear device detonated by the Russians was the Tzar bomb detonated October 30, 1961 and had an energy yield of 56 megatons (56 million) of TNT.
When did Japan start to build the atomic bomb?
During the occupation of Japan, following WWII, US military intelligence officers discovered several Japanese "Cyclotrons" (used during atomic research); photographs were taken (which were later published), and the devices along with all other nuclear research material were quickly dumped into the ocean. Note-Some of the photographs were taken, as the devices were being thrown into the ocean.
Atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb. What's the difference?
The term atomic bomb is a general one, and it can include both fission and fusion weapons. The hydrogen bomb (an "old term") is used in reference to a fusion device. Both are grouped under the contemporary term nuclear weapons, and we generally break down nuclear weapons into two types -- fission devices and fusion devices. The latter can only be set off by the former, so it takes a fission weapon to provide the energy needed to initiate the fusion reaction. Links can be found below for more information. The difference between nuclear and atomic bombs has to do with the fuel. Atomic bombs use only plutonium or uranium. Nuclear bombs use, in addition to plutonium or uranium, hydrogen. That is what makes them nuclear, unlike President Bush's mispronunciation: nucular. How funny is that? We had a president that had his finger on the button that would trigger nuclear destruction of all life forms on our planet, yet he could not even pronounce it properly? That is really scary!!! To fully answer the question: It does not really matter, if one happens to drop in your vicinity, the result is the same, the annihilation of all matter, including you.
What are the pros and cons of nuclear devices?
By 'devices' do you mean nuclear weapons, or peaceful uses of nuclear power?
Which country exploded first its nuclear device?
All countries that have exploded nuclear devices have exploded their first devices. The USA was the first to detonate such a device and the only country to use nuclear warheads in combat. The most recent countries to test nuclear devices are India, Pakistan, and North Korea.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
What is the nuclear test ban treaty?
Prohibits nuclear weapon test explosions and any other nuclear explosions in three environments: in the atmosphere, in outer space and underwater, but does not prohibit underground nuclear explosions
“Memory drivers are peripheral devices “give your opinion on this statement?
Memory drives are peripheral devices that are very useful
What are plutoniums uses?
Plutonium can be released as waste from nuclear power plants and can be sold on the black market to make other nuclear devices.
Who would serve as the coordinating agency for an incident involving the detonation of an improvised nuclear device?
The Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex would deal with incidents involving improvised nuclear devices.
Why do electrical devices get turnned off if a nuclear blast occurs?
Electromagnetic pulses generated by a nuclear blast can induce high voltage surges in electrical circuits, damaging components and causing malfunctions or shutdowns in electronic devices. This phenomenon, known as an EMP, can overload and disrupt the sensitive electronics in these devices, leading to their shutdown.
What is the mission statement of Hoist?
The mission statement of Hoist Industries is to demonstrate the safe installations, operations and management of automotive lifts and other specific devices.
Who are the customers for nuclear measuring and control devices?
Most of the products shipped by the nuclear radiation detection and monitoring segment were shipped to the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, and nuclear power plants.
Which countries have nuclear devices?
USRussiaUKFranceChinaIndiaPakistanNorth KoreaIsrael may also too, but they refuse to confirm or deny.
How do you spell techonology?
The correct spelling is "technology" (scientific devices and inventions).
