What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
Can a nuclear power plant turn into a atomic bomb?
No, a reactor is operated at critical and a bomb at supercritical. Also reactors include safety shutdown systems that quickly make them subcritical stopping the reaction.However reactors can have steam explosions and hydrogen/oxygen explosions. These are physical and chemical explosions respectively, not nuclear.
What is stronger a nuke or atom bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are actually the same thing. Both terms refer to a type of explosive device that releases energy by nuclear reactions. The power of the explosion depends on the type of nuclear reactions involved and the amount of fissile material present in the bomb.
What is the smallest possible size for a nuclear bomb?
The smallest possible size for a nuclear bomb is typically around 1 kiloton, which is equivalent to the explosive power of 1,000 tons of TNT.
What does the atomic bomb and nuclear power plant have in common?
Both the atomic bomb and nuclear power plant rely on nuclear fission to produce energy. The atomic bomb is designed to release a massive amount of energy in a short time, causing destruction, while a nuclear power plant harnesses controlled nuclear reactions to generate electricity for communities.
Why did the president invent a nuclear bomb?
No president invented any nuclear bomb.
Who invented the nuclear bomb where was he from?
Leo Szilard invented the fission bomb. Edward Teller invented the fusion bomb. Both were from Hungary.
How did he invent the nuclear bomb?
he invented it with metal
How powerful is a nuclear bomb compared to the sun?
The power of a nuclear bomb is a very tiny fraction of the power of the sun.
Use nuclear in a sentence?
It was a nuclear bomb. Everyone was afraid of a nuclear bomb. The nuclear power plant malfunctioned. The Cold War was about fear of nuclear attack.
What is a catchy nuclear power slogan?
nuclear energy is the sun not a bomb
Nuclear weapons in World War 1?
There were no nuclear weapons in WW1. The nuclear bomb was not invented until WW2.
Does Iran need nuclear power?
I don't believe that Iran should have nuclear power because they threaten to bomb the USA if they do get nuclear power.
What president invented the nuclear bomb?
None. The fission bomb was invented in 1933 by the physicist Leo Szilard. The staged fusion bomb was invented in 1949 by the mathematician Stan Ulam and the physicist Edward Teller.
Was Franklin D Roosevelt in office when the nuclear bomb was invented?
Yes he was.
Was the Nuclear Bomb invented in Tennessee?
No, it was invented in London in 1933 and built in Los Alamos, NM in 1945.
Is a lahar the same power as a nuclear bomb?
No. A lahar carries far less power than a nuclear bomb. However, large explosive eruptions, which can lead to lahars, can be as strong as or stronger than a nuclear explosion.
