What causes a nuclear explosion?
A nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from a nuclear chain reaction. This can occur in a nuclear weapon when a critical mass of fissile material is rapidly brought together, leading to a highly destructive explosion. In a nuclear reactor, such an explosion is prevented through control mechanisms that regulate the nuclear reaction.
What was the year of the first nuclear explosion in Los Alamos?
Never. The first nuclear explosion was on July 16, 1945 in the Journado Del Meurto inside what is now Whitesands Proving Grounds.
Which type of nuclear burst occurs?
A nuclear burst can occur as a result of a nuclear explosion, which can be caused by either a fission or fusion reaction. The specific type of burst depends on the design and intent of the nuclear device used.
What energy transformations occur in a nuclear explosion?
In a nuclear explosion, nuclear potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and thermal energy. The fission or fusion of atomic nuclei releases a massive amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This energy causes intense pressure waves and heat that result in the explosive force of the nuclear blast.
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
In which year did the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear reactor occur?
1986, the same year as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.
When was the first controlled nuclear explosion in the US?
Nuclear explosions are not controlled. Nuclear reactors are controlled.The first controlled nuclear reaction in the US was on December 2, 1942.The first nuclear explosion in the US was on July 16, 1945.

What was the codename for the worlds first nuclear explosion?
Trinity
When and where did Pakistan's first nuclear explosion takes place?
Pakistan's first atomic nuclear explosion took place at "Chaghai Hills" (Balochistan) on May 11 and 13, 1998.
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?
nuclear explosion?

What are the signs that a nuclear explosion is about to occur?
Nuclear plants don't explode, they melt down. Nuclear bombs (atom bombs) explode. There won't be any signs that a nuclear explosion is "about to occur"-- there won't be any warning unless defense computers recognize an incoming warhead missile. BUT, still, there won't be signs beforehand. Just look up the bombing of Japan.
What was the name of the first nuclear explosion?
Trinity, July 16, 1945
July 16 1945 that involved nuclear weapons?
First nuclear explosion, the Trinity test shot.
