No, India has both civil nuclear power reactors and nuclear weapons
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are two isotopes of uranium with different numbers of neutrons. Uranium-235 is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its ability to sustain a nuclear chain reaction, while uranium-238 is mainly used in depleted uranium ammunition and as a source of fuel for nuclear reactors. The main difference between the two isotopes is their nuclear properties and applications.
Yes, nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors produce radiation as a byproduct of nuclear reactions. This radiation can be in the form of gamma rays, alpha particles, or beta particles. Therefore, exposure to nuclear weapons or the fallout from a nuclear explosion can result in harmful levels of radiation.
Plutonium is not typically bought or sold on the open market due to its highly regulated nature and potential for misuse in nuclear weapons. It is primarily used in nuclear reactors and weapons programs under strict government control. The value of plutonium is difficult to estimate, but it is considered extremely valuable due to its rare and highly radioactive properties.
Yes, plutonium is typically formed as a result of the alpha decay of uranium in nuclear reactors or in nuclear weapons. It can also be produced artificially in nuclear reactors by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons.
Plutonium is a man-made actinide element that is produced in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. It is used as a fuel in nuclear reactors and in the production of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons
Yes, this isotope is very fissionable and is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Nuclear Weapons Nuclear Reactors Nuclear Batteries
Nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors Nuclear weapons
Only in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Plutonium for nuclear weapons is obtained in special nuclear reactors for plutonium-239.
energy release aka yield
The principal changes are: - fabrication of nuclear weapons - creation of nuclear power reactors - use of depleted uranium in weapons
Reactors power submarines and many surface ships. Nuclear weapons.
Nuclear energy is released when U-235 undergoes fission, and that takes place in nuclear reactors (or nuclear weapons). So a reactor is a thing constructed to produce nuclear energy.
