Its really hard to say, the only nuclear bomb that might contain that much uranium (probably as depleted uranium) would be a hydrogen fusion bomb with a uranium tamper.
Depending on many design features, it would probably weigh a bit under 2 tons and have a yield somewhere between 2 megatons and 20 megatons, most of that produced by fission of the uranium tamper.
NO nuclear bomb could ever contain that much weapons grade uranium, as it would be so far beyond critical that it would simply melt in the factory as it was being assembled and kill anyone nearby with neutron and gamma radiation.

What is the diameter of a uranium 234 nucleus?
The diameter of a uranium-234 nucleus is approximately 15 femtometers (1.5 x 10^-14 meters). This size is based on theoretical models and experimental data on the nuclear size of various isotopes. Uranium-234 is a heavy nucleus with a relatively large size compared to lighter elements.
How has the atom bomb been improved?
A number of improvements have been made in nuclear weapons. They involve the more precise construction (the shape or geometry of the bomb) and the more efficient method of triggering the device. These changes have allowed us to make nuclear weapons that will fit easily in an overnight bag and have permitted us to package numbers of them in a single missile for delivery on multiple targets. All with a minimized probability of a dud, and a maximized (or even a variable) yield.
What is the bigest bomb ever created?
The Tsar bomb pronounced sar. Was a Russian thermo-nuclear weapon of 50 mega-tons only a test of half the size of what the actual model was supposed to be if they ever built the actual model. The Tsar had a blast radius of 60 miles to cause death
What is an uranium dioxide?
Any rock or mineral containing economically recoverable quantities of Uranium compounds is a Uranium ore. These compounds are most commonly various oxides, silicates, titanates, phosphates, vanadates, arsenates, etc. of Uranium.To get pure Uranium metal from the ore various processes can be used, but a basic outline of the steps goes something like:Crush the ore to particles roughly the size of dust.Mix with chemicals to dissolve the crushed ore and change the oxidation state of the Uranium separating it chemically from the ore molecules.Mix with chemicals that cause the separated Uranium atoms to react with them, forming a precipitate (a Uranium oxide called yellowcake).Filter the solution, the Uranium precipitate will stay in the filter while the rest passes through as waste. Wash in the filter to make sure none of the waste remains to contaminate the Uranium precipitate.Dry the yellowcake powder.Mix yellowcake with magnesium metal granules and heat red hot in a crucible. The mixture will ignite leaving Uranium metal in the bottom of the crucible and magnesium oxide slag on top.Uranium is usually enriched first for reactors and bombs instead of just being converted to metal, also most power reactors use enriched yellowcake not the pure metal. To enrich Uranium the basic outline goes something like this:Mix yellowcake with nitric acid, then ammonia, then hydrogen gas, then hydrofluoric acid, then fluorine gas to produce Uranium hexafluoride.The Uranium hexafluoride it heated to become a gas in an enrichment plant (e.g. gaseous diffusion, gas centrifuge). The products are enriched Uranium hexafluoride (e.g. more Uranium-235) and depleted Uranium hexafluoride (e.g. less Uranium-235) from opposite ends of the plant.The Uranium hexafluoride (of either or both types is converted back to yellowcake.
How much does a uranium case weigh?
The weight of a uranium case will vary depending on its size and thickness, but typically a small case of uranium would weigh around several pounds. It is important to handle uranium with extreme care and follow all safety protocols when working with it.
How long does it take to make uranium for a nuclear bomb?
The process of producing weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb can vary based on the enrichment method used and the level of enrichment required, but it typically takes several months to several years. It involves a series of complex and time-consuming steps, including uranium mining, conversion, enrichment, and weaponization.
What is weight and length of a nuclear bomb?
The weight of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its size and design, but they typically range from a few hundred pounds to several tons. The length of a nuclear bomb also varies based on the specific model, but they can be several feet long.
What is the difference between the hydrogen bomb and the nuclear bomb?
"Nucear bomb" is very broad term, and encompases all bombs or weapons which utilize the explosive potential of specific elements, either by fusion or fission.The classic "nuclear bombs" use uranium or plutonium in a fission reaction to produce an explosion, where as a hydrogen bomb uses hydrogen, or specific isotopes of it (deuterium or tritium, either together or with another light-weight element) to produce a similar explosion (though usually larger in size), by mean of nuclear fusion.So technicaly, a hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear bomb.
Can a nuclear bomb or reaction blow up a whole state?
Yes and no depending on the size of the bomb or reaction and also the size of the state if it was Texas the bomb or reaction would have to be as big as or bigger then an apartment room.But a nuclear bomb isn't the most powerful bomb in the world the most powerful bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
What is the smallest possible size for a nuclear bomb?
The smallest possible size for a nuclear bomb is typically around 1 kiloton, which is equivalent to the explosive power of 1,000 tons of TNT.
What is the different between a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb?
Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
What is the fallout for nuclear bomb?
Fallout is a mixture of:fission productsdirt picked up by the updraft into the mushroom cloudneutron activated isotopes of normally non-radioactive parts of the bomb and nearby objectsoxides of unfissioned uranium and/or plutonium from the bombetc.
What is the diameter of a nuclear bomb shockwave?
The diameter of a nuclear bomb shockwave can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the shockwave from a nuclear explosion can have a radius of several miles, causing widespread destruction and devastation.
Can you compare the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb?
Yes, however on one level they are the same thing as both obtain their energy from the release of excess nuclear binding energy. However as the terms have traditionally been used the differences are as follows:atomic bomb, a rather simple bomb operating with nuclear fission of heavy element(s) within a "prompt supercritical mass" of a fissile isotope initiated by a pulse of neutrons. The most commonly used fissile isotopes are plutonium-239, uranium-235 (uranium-233 could also be used but has properties similar to plutonium-239). The yield of such a bomb is limited to less than one megaton (with the highest yield such bomb ever tested only half that).hydrogen bomb, a rather complicated bomb operating with nuclear fusion of light element(s) compressed and heated using x-rays generated by either an atomic bomb or another hydrogen bomb in a previous "stage" of the bomb. This "staging" principal permits the yield of a hydrogen bomb to be as large as desired, also the yield can be increased (as well as the fallout) by enclosing the bomb in uranium (even the nonfissionable isotope uranium--238 usually considered "waste" after enriching uranium-235 for atomic bombs can be used) which will be fissioned by the high energy fusion neutrons. This can multiply the yield of the bomb by a factor between 2 to 10 times!However almost all modern nuclear weapons use both fission and fusion to optimize the bomb's size, weight, yield, etc. for the specific military purpose it is intended to be used for. So the lines are quite blurred.
How many nuclear bombs can blow up the earth?
It would depend on the size of the bomb.
What would be the damage if a nuclear bomb went off?
That will depend on the size of the bomb, how far above ground it explodes, and how far away it is from you.
How big was the nuclear bomb?
The atomic bomb, formed my nuclear fission? that was dropped by Americans on japan? well first, there was 2 of them and to answer your question HUGE Atomic bombs are measured by the mega tonne. That is the equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT. So a 50 mega tonne bomb is the equivalent of 50,000,000 tonnes of TNT exploding. The actual size of the bomb can be anything from a giant rocket to the size of a suitcase
