Yes, that is true
Nuclear weapons derive their immense destructive power from the energy released through nuclear fission or fusion processes. These reactions convert a small amount of matter into energy following Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, where a tiny amount of mass is converted into a significant amount of energy.
Thermonuclear weapons, also known as hydrogen bombs, are the most powerful and destructive nuclear weapons. They rely on a two-stage process involving the fusion of isotopes of hydrogen to release immense amounts of energy. These weapons can produce explosions with yields in the megaton range, causing catastrophic damage over a wide area.
Yes, in nuclear weapons, a small amount of matter undergoes nuclear fission or fusion reactions, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation. This is possible due to Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which shows that a small amount of matter can be converted into a large amount of energy.
Both Russia and the United States possess strong nuclear arsenals with similar destructive capabilities. The exact strength of each country's nuclear weapons is classified, but they both have the ability to cause immense damage and are considered two of the most powerful nuclear states in the world.
Nuclear weapons obtain their power from two processes: 1- Nuclear Fission: the splitting of a heavy element into lighter elements, releasing vast amounts of energy. Typically called an "Atomic Bomb." 2- Nuclear Fusion: the fusing of very light elements into heavier elements. Even greater amounts of energy is released. Typically referred to as a "Hydrogen Bomb."

The tiniest amounts of plutonium (Pu) can be found in uranium that we remove from the ground. But most plutonium today is found at nuclear weapons plants or wherever nuclear weapons are kept. There is also some in nuclear fuel facilities. Certainly it is present in spent nuclear fuel.
Uranium mainlyPlutonium and Uranium in fission weapons, Lithium deuteride in fusion weapons, occasionally small amounts of Tritium gas to boost fission weapons with fusion.
Only two nuclear weapons have been used in combat, both quite primitive designs to the weapons that are deployed today. The weapon with the most quantities in the current active US nuclear stockpile is the W76/Mk-4 warhead.
Yes, thorium can be used as a nuclear fuel in certain types of reactors, but it is not typically used in nuclear weapons. Uranium and plutonium are the primary materials used in nuclear bombs due to their ability to sustain nuclear fission reactions and to release large amounts of energy quickly.
Those that are nuclear, such as the nuclear bombs.
In nuclear weapons depots.
Zambia does not have nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons are weapons which are fueled by nuclear energy. Examples of weapons that can be fueled by nuclear energy are missile warheads and bombs.
