What is the difference between nuclear and thermonuclear weapons?
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.
What was the code name of Americas first thermonuclear device tested in the Pacific on October 311952?
Ivy Mike (but it was November 1, 1952 local time where the detonation occurred).
What are the problems involved in thermonuclear bombs?
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.
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a thermonuclear bomb?
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.
Name an energy that relies on burning?
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.
Can you use thermonuclear in a sentence?
"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."
How do you use thermonuclear in a sentence?
Tsar Bomba was a thermonuclear device of design yield 100 MT, but a deployed yield of 50 MT.
What does thermonuclear dynamics mean?
Thermonuclear dynamics is the study of the forces and motion involved in thermonuclear reactions.
When was On Thermonuclear War created?
On Thermonuclear War was created in 1960.
What is thermonuclear fusion takes place?
It simply means that thermonuclear fusion happens.
The suns heat is produced by?
thermonuclear fusion and hydrogen becoming helium... :)
What countries use thermonuclear energy for electricity?
None, unless you count the sun's energy, which is thermonuclear.
Thermonuclear fussion occurs mainly where?
Mainly in stars, although some is seen in the secondary of a thermonuclear weapon.
What element is created during thermonuclear reactions?
At the core of our sun, Helium is created by the thermonuclear fusion of Hydrogen.
Where do most of the thermonuclear reactions take place on the sun?
The most thermonuclear reactions on the sun, take place in the core.
Is a hydrogen bomb thermonuclear?
Yes.
Is the sun thermometer energy?
"thermonuclear"
