Californium was not used in nuclear weapons.
While not used, californium is produced in fusion (hydrogen) bomb explosions and is found in their fallout.
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
We might use californium as a neutron source in a nuclear reactor. Californium is a neutron emitter, and it can be used to "enhance" start-up abilities of a reactor where the fuel isn't as "good" as it might be in a core of, say, highly enriched uranium.
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
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.
Nuclear bombs primarily use two types of energy: fission and fusion. Fission refers to the splitting of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fusion involves combining atomic nuclei to release energy, both of which are harnessed in the explosive reactions of nuclear bombs.
Californium is prepared by nuclear reactions in nuclear reactors.
Californium is an artificial element obtained by nuclear reactions.
They used nuclear and atomic bombs.
Hydrogen bombs use the same process of nuclear fusionthat powers the Sun.
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
The U.S. use nuclear bombs during World War ll to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki after Japan refused to surrender.
Some of the uses for californium are: help starts nuclear reactors....!
In World War 2 the Nuclear bombs were Uranium and Plutonium. Nowadays they use Hydrogen.
Californium does not occur naturally. It is produced as a result of nuclear explosions and nuclear experiments.
Californium oxychloride is primarily used in scientific research for studying the behavior of californium and its properties. It may also have potential applications in nuclear reactor control rods and neutron detectors due to californium's ability to emit neutrons.

I believe no one should use nuclear weapons.
