The isotopes 239Pu and 241Pu are easily fissionable; also the isotopes of plutonium has a small criticall mass and the energy released by fission is enormous.
It depends which type it is. It can be Uranium or Plutonium
One was an uranium fission bomb and the other was a plutonium implsion type bomb.
The Hanford site near Richland, WA had the plutonium production reactors and extraction canyons that made and purified plutonium for implosion type bombs.
Basically, nuclear weapons are made from uranium or plutonium material and hydrogen as a chain reaction nucleus.
Nuclear bombs made from Plutonium and Uranium.
No mineral. Two metals- uranium and plutonium- are used in atomic bombs.
That may be a difficult question if you are referring to what contains plutonium then nuclear bombs and missiles contain plutonium
Uranium, plutonium or hydrogen.
Some do. Others use Uranium.
nuclear bomb = plutonium + weapon
In World War 2 the Nuclear bombs were Uranium and Plutonium. Nowadays they use Hydrogen.
Plutonium was and still is used for atomic bombs. The atomic bombs you are talking about would be fat man and little boy. They were the two used to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki Many people were killed when the b-29 bomber dropped fat man.
plutonium
It depends which type it is. It can be Uranium or Plutonium
there were two types of nuclear bombs. A "gun type" bomb and an implosion type one with a plutonium core
If we are talking about the nuclear bombs used in ww2, 1 plutonium bomb and 1 uranium bomb.
Both basically are the same, they can be fission or fusion bombs like Uranium,Plutonium and Hydrogen bombs. A general description would be that atomic bombs are fission bombs. Nuclear bombs are fusion bombs. Fusion bombs are more powerful weight for weight
