Only in that to make plutonium or tritium for nuclear bombs you need a reactor. While the reactors that make these materials can also be used to generate electricity, they usually don't. Also the types of reactors usually used to generate electricity are not usually designed to efficiently make these materials.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases energy through nuclear fission (splitting of atomic nuclei). Nuclear weapon is a broader term that encompasses atomic bombs, as well as hydrogen bombs which release energy through nuclear fusion (combining atomic nuclei).
What does the atomic bomb and nuclear power plant have in common?
Both the atomic bomb and nuclear power plant rely on nuclear fission to produce energy. The atomic bomb is designed to release a massive amount of energy in a short time, causing destruction, while a nuclear power plant harnesses controlled nuclear reactions to generate electricity for communities.
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
Can a nuclear power plant turn into a atomic bomb?
No, a reactor is operated at critical and a bomb at supercritical. Also reactors include safety shutdown systems that quickly make them subcritical stopping the reaction.However reactors can have steam explosions and hydrogen/oxygen explosions. These are physical and chemical explosions respectively, not nuclear.
Where did the atomic bomb get its power?
The atomic bomb gets its power from the process of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy is what causes the destructive force of an atomic bomb.
What were other option rather an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs are a type of Nuclear bomb and there are 2 types of nuclear bombs. The second type of nuclear bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases energy through nuclear fission (splitting of atomic nuclei). Nuclear weapon is a broader term that encompasses atomic bombs, as well as hydrogen bombs which release energy through nuclear fusion (combining atomic nuclei).
What is another word for atomic?
If you mean "atomic" as in the Atomic Bomb, then the word "nuclear" could be substituted = Nuclear Bomb.
What would happen if an atomic bomb was dropped on a nuclear power plant?
Big boom!!
When did Pakistan explode their first atomic bomb?
18th May1998, but its not atomic bomb (its nuclear bomb)
What is a nuclear weapon in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
A nuclear bomb or atomic bomb
Could the atomic bomb exist without radioactivity?
No, the atomic bomb relies on the process of nuclear fission, which produces radioactivity as a byproduct. Radioactivity is essential for the explosive power of the bomb.
What does the atomic bomb and nuclear power plant have in common?
Both the atomic bomb and nuclear power plant rely on nuclear fission to produce energy. The atomic bomb is designed to release a massive amount of energy in a short time, causing destruction, while a nuclear power plant harnesses controlled nuclear reactions to generate electricity for communities.
Why was the atomic bomb nuclear?
That is by definition.
What country are responsible of atomic bomb and nuclear bomb?
USA
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
The discovery of the principle of nuclear fission led to the production of the atomic bomb and the construction of nuclear power plant?
Yes, I think that can be said
