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 are some bad thing about nuclear bombs?

Nuclear bombs have devastating effects, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. They also have long-lasting environmental consequences, such as radiation contamination that can persist for decades and impact ecosystems and human health. Additionally, the potential for nuclear weapons to fall into the wrong hands or be used unintentionally poses a significant global security risk.


Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?

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.
