How does an atomic bomb affect the people around it?

The damage from a nuclear bomb depends upon how close you are to the point of detonation and the yield of the bomb. For a 1 Megaton bomb, the immediate effects are:Instantaneous death: 2.5 KmImmediate immersion in whole-body fire: 10 KmThird degree burns: 12 KmSecond degree burns: 15 KmFirst degree burns: 19 KmThere are also intermediate term effects due to radiation exposure, and long term effects due to radioactive fallout.For more information, follow the related link below.


Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?

Yes, fusion reactions occur in a hydrogen bomb, which is a type of nuclear bomb. The high temperatures and pressures generated by the fission reaction in the bomb can trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes. This fusion reaction releases a large amount of energy, contributing to the destructive power of the bomb.


Can a bomb destroy a hurricane formation and reduce its risk?

No, a bomb cannot destroy a hurricane formation. Hurricanes are massive, natural weather systems fueled by warm ocean water and atmospheric conditions. Attempting to disrupt a hurricane with a bomb would not be effective and could have harmful consequences.


How do you make fireworks in Pikmin?

You are supposed to lay down near the Pikmin, and the Pikmin will carry you to their Onion and you will be lifted up into it (you will not go into the onion) and you fall back down then on top of the onion you will see fireworks. This only works if you obtain the item that allows you to lay down. There are no harmful or meaningful effects of the fireworks.


Why is the hydrogen bomb the clean bomb?

A hydrogen bomb can be either clean, conventional, or salted depending on the material used for the fusion (secondary) stage tamper and how it interacts with the high energy fusion reaction neutrons.a clean hydrogen bomb uses a tamper material that does not capture or fission when hit by the high energy neutrons. Lead is one such material. Significant yield is sacrificed compared to a conventional hydrogen bomb.a conventional hydrogen bomb uses depleted or natural uranium as the tamper material, which fissions when hit by the high energy neutrons providing up to 90% of the bomb's yield and fallout.a salted hydrogen bomb uses materials in the tamper that readily capture neutrons and produce highly radioactive isotopes in the fallout.Note a very very clean hydrogen bomb has a tamper material so transparent to neutrons that almost all escape in a flash: this is sometimes called a neutron bomb!

Which country was the First to develop a neutron bomb?

The United States was the first country to develop the neutron bomb in the 1950s and 1960s. The neutron bomb is a type of thermonuclear weapon designed to release a large amount of deadly neutron radiation while minimizing blast and heat effects.

What are the lyrics to The Neutron Bomb by The Controllers?

The Controllers' "Neutron Bomb" begins with a poem from WWII about a disemboweled gunner on a bomber over Europe. Then it goes: Some people think atomic bombs are weird But I don't want to end up seared By the Neutron Bomb Very strange! By the Neutron Bomb Cold War exchange! I can't get up Might get blown up Neutrons falling down Might as well hang around For the Neutron Bomb Try heading over to www.lyrics.com and search "The Controllers" and see if the band and song come up. If that doesnt work, try searchng the artist and song name on google (:


What is neutron bomb made of?

An enhanced radiation weapon or "neutron bomb" is most likely simply a thermonuclear weapons (or "hydrogen bomb") whose radiation case is made of a material transparent to neutrons like nickel. Instead of using a heavy metal like uranium or lead to contain the neutrons, they are allowed to escape, thus providing a burst of fast neutrons, whose effects you can guess. Contrary to popular belief, an ERW does produce a very large explosion.

Why neutron bomb is known as smart bomb?

It is not. A "smart" bomb is one with a guidance system that guides it directly to the target. A "Neutron" bomb is a specialized form of nuclear weapon that produces relatively little blast, but releases more immediate nuclear radiation than most other nuclear weapons


Is a neutron bomb more deadlier than a nuclear bomb?

A neutron bomb is a nuclear bomb.Specifically a neutron bomb is a modified fusion (hydrogen) bomb.In a standard fusion bomb the fusion tamper is Uranium-238. This absorbs the high energy fusion neutrons and fissions, producing roughly 90% of the yield of the fusion bomb and most of the fallout.If instead we change the fusion tamper to a different dense metal with a much much smaller cross-section for absorbing neutrons, then most of them escape. This is a "neutron" bomb. If everything else is the same, it has only about 10% of the yield and a tiny fraction of the fallout of the standard fusion bomb (making it a "clean" bomb).Sometimes the neutron bomb is considered an anti-tank weapon, as the neutrons can pass through the tank and irradiate the crew while the lower yield and fallout produce less blast damage and radiological contamination.However the high neutron flux induces secondary radioactivity in most exposed materials. This is also a form of radiological contamination, but cannot be washed off like fallout.
