The pit of the weapon (and possibly the secondary -- basically all the parts inside the radiation case) and the radiothermal generators for the permissive action links would probably be warmer than the rest of the components due to radioactive decay. These components, however, are deep inside the weapon.
The weapon's overall surface temperature is probably not much warmer than room temperature.
During a nuclear detonation though, the fireball can reach blackbody temperatures of 107 degrees centigrade but this is mostly in the form of X-rays and is quickly absorbed by the atmosphere, and the energy is then reradiated at around 10,000 K.
What else can I help you with?
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
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.
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.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
Why are thermo nuclear bombs more disasterus than nuclear bombs?
Thermonuclear bombs, or hydrogen bombs, are more destructive than nuclear bombs because they involve a two-stage process: a fission reaction triggers a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion. This fusion reaction releases much more energy and is more efficient at converting material into energy compared to the fission reaction alone. As a result, thermonuclear bombs are typically much more powerful and devastating than traditional nuclear bombs.
What nuclear bombs were used in the Cold War?
No bombs were actually used during the Cold War. That was why it was not a hot war.
Is a bomb nuclear?
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
Why thermo nuclear bombs are called dirty bombs?
Beacause millions of lives were taken by the nuclear bombs
Are nuclear bombs illegal in China?
No, China has several hundred nuclear bombs and has had bombs since 1964.
How many nuclear bombs per week US builds nuclear bombs?
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.

Are nuclear bombs legal?
Nuclear bombs are illegal since bombs could potentially be harmful to others and places, so no it is not legal.

Does turkey have nuclear bombs?
No, Turkey is not a nuclear state.
