How many rads does a nuclear weapon produce?
The amount of radiation produced by a nuclear weapon can vary depending on its size and yield. However, a single detonation of a nuclear weapon can produce tens of thousands to millions of rads within the immediate vicinity of ground zero. This level of radiation exposure can be lethal to humans and cause widespread health effects.
How large is the largest nuclear weapon?
The USSR built and tested one with 52Mton yield and stated that it was designed for 100MTon yield but they reduced the amount of fusion fuel as they only needed to prove it could work and wanted to minimize damage and fallout from the test.
What is the smallest nuke possible in terms of size and destructive power?
The smallest nuclear weapon in terms of size and destructive power is known as a tactical nuclear weapon. These weapons have a lower yield compared to strategic nuclear weapons and are designed for use in battlefield situations. They typically have a yield of less than 10 kilotons, making them smaller and less destructive than larger strategic nuclear weapons.
What is the biggest nuclear weapon?
The biggest nuclear weapon ever tested was the Tsar Bomba, a hydrogen bomb detonated by the Soviet Union in 1961. It had a yield of 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated.
What is the power of fusion or fission bombs?
The maximum yield for a nuclear weapon varies depending on the type of weapon and ignition mechanism.For pure-fission weapons, the most powerful weapon built is the Ivy King, at a yield of approx. 500 Kt, compared with approx. 15kt for Hiroshima or 22kt for Nagasaki. The Ivy King bomb uses a core consisting of some 60 kg of highly enriched uranium. Pure fission weapons are limited in yield by the difficulties in dealing with large critical masses of uranium and/or plutonium. In pure-fission weapons, masses required for a larger yield tend to be disrupted before a chain reaction can spread through them. With a fission weapon the rule is 77grams of weapon grade U235 or 78 grams Pu239 per kiloton of yield. Generally these days fissile uranium or Plutonium is first ignited by compression of Deuterium or Tritium to give a fusion boost. These are called third generation nuclear weapons and their criticality is not dependant on the mass or isotope purity of the fissile material.Fusion weapons have no theoretical limit, although the mass/yield ratio imposes some practical limits. The highest-yield fusion weapon to have ever been detonated is the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba, at 57 Mt, about 4500 times Hiroshima. This bomb was originally designed to have about twice that yield, for a weight of approx. 27 metric tonnes. Fusion bombs generally referred to as Hydrogen bombs actually us a tapered chamber called Hohlraum to compress a shock wave in a mass of deuterium and can be scaled upwards as desired to increase the yield.
Does the us have the right to say who does and does not get to have nuclear weapons?
no one can have a nucular weapon except the government and such
What is a dial-a-yield nuclear bomb - fission or fusion?
"Dial-a-yield," or Variable Yield, is a method of adjusting the yield of a nuclear weapon through various means. While most modern high-energy weapons are thermonuclear, both fission and thermonuclear weapons can have their yield adjusted. In a boosted fission weapon (which can also be the primary to a staged radiation implosion weapon), the yield can be adjusted by changing the amount of deuterium/tritium gas that is injected into the plutonium pit, or by the timing of the external neutron initiator, or both. In a staged weapon, causing the secondary to not ignite by adjusting the yield of the primary (see above), or blocking the radiation channel in some way, can also change the yield of the weapon.
What did lise meitner discover?
a very famous scientist nucliar fission nucular fission nucular fissin and protactium
How does uranium turn nucular?
it doesn't.
How does a nuclear clock work?
A nucular clock uses nucular time. For more information, try searching for "nuclear clock" instead.
What does the blast impact of a nuclear weapon do?
Exactly the same thing as a TNT bomb of the same yield.
How dangerous nuclear weapon are?
About as dangerous as conventional weapons of the same yield, plus the radiation effects.
What is the largest nuclear weapon?
The largest KNOWN nuclear weapon was made by the Soviet Union (Russia) and was called the "Tsar Bomba" (King of Bombs). It had a yield of ~50MT.
What actors and actresses appeared in Nucular - 2006?
The cast of Nucular - 2006 includes: Hubert Deraspe as Man with Baby Myriam Lessard as Woman with Baby Louise Livernois as Lady with Grocery Bag
What is the blast radius of a nuclear ballistic missile?
This really depends on a number of factors, such as the yield of the weapon, the detonation altitude, and the terrain.
How do you prevent nuclear waste?
You make your children eat nucular cake.
How do you use nucular energy in a sentence?
We're almost out of nuclear energy.
