No, Enrico Fermi constructed and operated the first nuclear reactor (CP-1) in 1942. Several larger nuclear reactors were needed first to make the plutonium for the MK-3 Fatman atomic bomb, which was not tested until 1945. Their principles of operation are quite different, except that both operate by nuclear chain reaction.
What else can I help you with?
What did herasheama look like after the nuclear bomb went off?
Hiroshima was nearly totally destroyed by the atom bomb.
What country dropped the atom bomb?
The United States.
How many atom bomb India having?
India has 60 to 80 nuclear warheads.
What nicknames does Atom Bomb go by?
Atom Bomb goes by Adam Bomb.
Is a atom bomb more powerful than a h-bomb?
No the atom bomb is not more powerful then the H-bomb
How do you differentiate production of energy in an atom bomb and a nuclear reactor?
an atom bomb is uncontrolled and the reaction is over in a few microsecondsa reactor is controlled and the reaction can continueuninterrupted for years or longer
What are the negatives about using Nuclear Energy?
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
Where is nuclear fission being utilized?
atom bomb, nuclear power plant, breedor reactor If you found this helpful please click trust below
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
Introduction of nuclear fission and fission?
It is a process, in which a heavy nucleus is broken down in to two or more medium heavy fragments. It is used in nuclear reactor and atom bomb.
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.
Can a nuclear reactor detonate the way a nuclear bomb can?
No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.
How do you use radioactive material?
If you are a smart guy, you can make a nuclear bomb, or a nuclear reactor...
What inventions did Lloyd quarterman invent?
the atomic bomb and the nuclear reactor
What is the smallest nuclear weapon?
Atom bomb. Get it? Atom :D
Could a type of bomb pierce the melting rods of a nuclear reactor?
yes
Who is author of nuclear reactor time bomb?
The "nuclear reactor time bomb" theory was popularized by author and scientist Amory Lovins in the 1970s. Lovins argued that nuclear reactors posed safety risks and could lead to catastrophic accidents or intentional sabotage, likening them to a ticking time bomb.
