Fission or fusion? Oh well, guess I will do both.
Fission:
- Rapid assembly mechanism using explosives (2 main forms exist: gun and implosion).
- Dense Tamper to contain explosion and make it last a little longer before it escapes (usually Uranium-238).
- Fissile core (Uranium-235, Plutonium-239, or (Uranium-233).
- Neutron source to trigger chain reaction at optimal time of supercriticality (may be internal to core or external from assembly, may be mechanical/hydrodynamic or electrical).
Fusion:
- Fission bomb primary.
- Cylindrical radiation channel to carry x-rays from primary the length of the fusion secondary. Radiation channel is filled with structural styrofoam to support the fusion secondary and because styrofoam is transparent to x-rays.
- Cylindrical dense Tamper to contain explosion and make it last a little longer before it escapes (usually Uranium-238). X-rays striking outer surface of Tamper cause ablation and drive implosion of secondary.
- Cylindrical Lithium Deuteride fusion fuel.
- "Sparkplug" rod of Plutonium running length of secondary, to raise temperature and pressure and produce neutrons to cause Lithium to make Tritium needed for Deuterium-Tritium fusion.
- As many additional similar fusion stages can be added as you want to get any yield. Each stage's radiation channel is driven by previous stage.
What else can I help you with?
Can a nuclear reactor be used as a nuclear weapon?
No. LLNL even tested several Uranium-Hydride bombs in the 1950s. Even though their computer models said the devices should explode, none gave a nuclear yield. One could use the waste from the reactor as a Radiological Weapon, but the reactor itself is not useful as a weapon.
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 weapon is stronger than a nuke?
A nuclear weapon is one of the most powerful weapons in existence, so it is difficult to say if there is a specific weapon that is definitively stronger. However, some may argue that certain future technologies, such as antimatter weapons or advanced cyber warfare capabilities, could potentially surpass the destructive power of a nuclear weapon.
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.
Could a nuclear weapon blow up a continent?
No, a single nuclear weapon is not powerful enough to blow up an entire continent. The destructive power of a nuclear weapon is concentrated in a relatively small area known as the blast radius. The impact would be devastating locally, but the effect would not extend to an entire continent.
What are the two basic types of nuclear weapon?
Fission and fusion. All fusion boms are trigered by a fission weapon.
What is the meaning of nuclear weapon?
The meaning of the word nuclear weapon, is a weapon that has a nuclear warhead on it.
What do you mean by nuclear accidents and can you explain two basic types of nuclear weapons?
A nuclear accident is the unintended release of nuclear radiation into the environment, such as damage to a nuclear reactor or to a nuclear weapon (plane crash carrying nuclear bombs, etc). The two basic forms of nuclear weapons are fission and fusion weapons.
What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
Which one has the ability to destroy entire cities and impair electronic communications systems?

Is an bomb or a nuclear weapon more powerful?
If by "bomb" you mean a conventional explosive weapon, then the nuclear weapon is more powerful.
What is a nuclear weapon made of?
nuclear chemicals such as plutonium
Can a nuclear reactor be used as a nuclear weapon?
No. LLNL even tested several Uranium-Hydride bombs in the 1950s. Even though their computer models said the devices should explode, none gave a nuclear yield. One could use the waste from the reactor as a Radiological Weapon, but the reactor itself is not useful as a weapon.
