What is the case of the hydrogen bomb made up of?

Several different materials. One of them is Uranium 238. While it will not normally undergo a nuclear chain reaction, being in the heart of a detonating nuclear weapon is not normal.


What is the nucleur energy?

Nuclear energy is the energy released by changes in the nucleus of a material such as uranium. In the case of uranium 235, the nucleus can be fissioned or split by capture of a neutron, and further neutrons are released in the process. By careful arrangement of the uranium pieces, this can be built up so that a self-sustaining chain reaction proceeds. Each fission releases a certain amount of energy in the form of heat, which can then be used to produce electric power. This is the basis of all power producing nuclear reactorsNuclear energy is the energy resulting from:Radioactive decayNuclear fissionNuclear fusion

How did Americans prepare for nuclear attack in the 1950's?

Just to name a few things: -American schools had bomb shelters and ran regular bomb drills, such protection included crawling under desks or tables and even crouching against walls with hands covering the face -Families built personal fallout shelters that had heavy doors above ground and small rooms underground. The shelters had pipes with drafts that could be opened or shut to let in fresh air and housed stockpiles of canned food all throughout the 50's in case of emergencies.

How did the Cold War affect the USA?

The people became unnerved. Some politicians went looking for Russians or "reds" in different corners of the country. The nuclear weapons race was on and fallout shelters got built just in case the nightmare happened. I grew up in Australia away from the direct Russian/American cold war focus, yet we felt it here. We didn't build fallout shelters but we were never sure if the nightmare would happen. The cold war has diminished but still both countries spy on each other and China spies on everyone.


Should nuclear power stations be built?

Building nuclear power stations is a complex decision that depends on various factors such as safety, cost, environmental impact, and public acceptance. Proponents argue that nuclear power can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide reliable energy, while opponents raise concerns about safety, nuclear waste disposal, and the potential for accidents. Ultimately, each proposed nuclear power project should be carefully evaluated on a case-by-case basis with these considerations in mind.


Why are Britain's nuclear power stations all built on west coast?

Britain's nuclear power stations were built on the west coast due to historical reasons, such as the availability of cooling water from the sea and proximity to population centers. This location also reduces the risk of radioactive contamination spreading over densely populated areas in case of an accident. However, newer nuclear power stations are being built inland to diversify the locations.


What weather mitigation is used in case of a tornado?

The primary form of mitigation we use for tornadoes is giving out warnings in advance. Such warnings do not reduce the property damage but they reduce the number of people who are killed or injured. Some homes now have built in tornado shelters.

What is an emergency shelter?

It's a place that can keep you safe in most of the dangerous situations. Mostly they're bunker-like infrastuctures built underground, in case of atomic disaster.An emergency shelter should be equiped with basic survival and communication devices. An emergency shelter is also filled with food and medicines, in case the people it protect have to stay locked in for a long period.Some people, concerned by a potential oncoming disaster decide to build an emergency shelter on their land. These ad hoc(made for that precise situation) shelters are most of the time designed to protec people from nuclear attacks.

Can nuclear reactions create new molecules?

We don't generally think of nuclear reactions creating new molecules. A nuclear reaction is a reaction involving the nucleus of an atom (in the case of fission) or atoms (in the case of fusion). The manipulation or creation of new molecules is usually left in the domain of the science of chemistry, and not nuclear physics.
