A nuclear missile does not have that much weight, maybe only a few hundred pounds with not all of that being Uranium.
The force or energy of the bomb's explosion is measured in kilotons or megatons of TNT explosive energy.
One critical mass of Uranium-235 is ~100 pounds, one critical mass of Plutonium-239 is ~10 pounds. This varies significantly with configuration and type of reflector used. Bombs also typically contain ~100 pounds to over 1000 pounds of Uranium-238 as Tamper(s) and in fusion bomb radiation channel walls to guide x-rays between stages.
I cannot give exact figures as there are so many different warhead designs and details like that are classified Top Secret-Q.

How much does a nuclear missile weigh?
The weight of a nuclear missile can vary depending on the specific model and design, but they can typically weigh several tons, ranging from 1 to 100 tons. The weight is influenced by various factors including the size of the warhead, fuel, and guidance systems.
Ubiquitous and unusual named after the 7th rock from the sun one lb of this nuclear fuel source is equivantent to 1500 tons of coal?
Uranium is the element being referred to here. It is named after the planet Uranus, the 7th planet from the sun. Uranium is a nuclear fuel source that is highly efficient; just one pound of uranium can produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal.
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
How many kilos of uranium in a nuclear reactor?
The amount of uranium in a nuclear reactor depends on its size and design. On average, a typical reactor may contain several tons of uranium fuel in the form of uranium dioxide pellets that are stacked in fuel rods. For example, a 1000-megawatt nuclear reactor may have around 100-150 tons of uranium fuel.
How much uranium is used in power plants?
Typically, power plants use uranium fuel in the form of uranium dioxide pellets. A typical commercial nuclear power plant may use several tons of uranium fuel each year, depending on its size and level of operation.
How much uranium produces nuclear power?
A typical nuclear power plant requires approximately 27 metric tons of uranium fuel per year to produce electricity. This amount can vary depending on the specific reactor design and fuel cycle used. The energy produced from uranium in a nuclear reactor is much more concentrated than energy from other traditional sources like coal or natural gas.
How much uranium does it take to power a city?
The amount of uranium needed to power a city depends on the size of the city and the efficiency of the nuclear power plant. On average, a city of 1 million people would require about 27 metric tons of uranium per year to power its nuclear plant.
How much coal would have to be burned to release the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium that undergoes nuclear fission?
To release the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium undergoing nuclear fission, approximately 3.6 metric tons of coal would need to be burned. Uranium undergoes much more efficient energy release through fission compared to burning coal.
How much uranium 235 is used in a nuclear reactor?
The amount of uranium-235 used in a nuclear reactor depends on the design and size of the reactor. Typically, a reactor core contains several tons of uranium fuel, with the concentration of uranium-235 ranging from 3-5%. The fuel is arranged in fuel assemblies to sustain a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction.
How many tons of uranium does a power plant use?
Depends on size of course, but a typical case would be about 75 tons total, with about 25 tons being changed every two years.
How much uranium has been mined?
Approx. 2 700 000 tonnes, up to 2011, in all the world.
How do we use uranium?
tens of thousands tons each year
