The thermonuclear devices are armed and ready.
After the thermonuclear war, the Earth slowly began to die from radiation poisoning.
Nuclear weapons' yield is derived primarily from fission. Thermonuclear weapon's yield is derived mainly from fusion. Thermonuclear weapons are multistage weapons -- x-rays from a nuclear primary trigger are used to trigger ablation in the pusher of the secondary to compress it, which is responsible for the fusion reaction.
Ivy Mike (but it was November 1, 1952 local time where the detonation occurred).
Some of the problems involved in thermonuclear bombs include the risk of accidental detonation, the potential for proliferation leading to nuclear arms races, and the massive destruction and radioactive fallout they can cause. Additionally, there are ethical concerns surrounding their use due to the catastrophic consequences.
They are both general terms. The term "atomic bomb" can mean any nuclear weapon, either a fission weapon or a fusion weapon (the so-called hydrogen bomb). The term thermonuclear bomb is also used in general, but it usually excludes the fusion bombs. It should be noted, however, that it takes a fission bomb to generate the heat necessary to "set off" a fusion reaction and make a fusion bomb work.
Thermal pertains to heat . Thus Geothermal, thermonuclear, etc. all energy deriving from heat has a thermal component. Thermal pertains to heat . Thus Geothermal, thermonuclear, etc. all energy deriving from heat has a thermal component.
"The united states tested a large thermonuclear weapon at the Nevada Test Site". "The President had all options on the table, including the possibility of global thermonuclear war."
Tsar Bomba was a thermonuclear device of design yield 100 MT, but a deployed yield of 50 MT.
Thermonuclear dynamics is the study of the forces and motion involved in thermonuclear reactions.
On Thermonuclear War was created in 1960.
It simply means that thermonuclear fusion happens.
thermonuclear fusion and hydrogen becoming helium... :)
None, unless you count the sun's energy, which is thermonuclear.
Mainly in stars, although some is seen in the secondary of a thermonuclear weapon.
At the core of our sun, Helium is created by the thermonuclear fusion of Hydrogen.
The most thermonuclear reactions on the sun, take place in the core.
Yes.
