Nuclear Weapons

You need a supply of plutonium or uranium 235. You then need the ability to use machinery to shape these incredibly toxic and dangerous materials. You need different types of high explosives shaped in the correct way to initiate the bomb. You need precision electrical timing devices to fire the explosives in exactly the right order. You will also need several million dollars to pay for all of this, and a rather large truck- the first atomic bomb weighed roughly 6 tons.

The first hydrogen bomb test was Ivy Mike on the island of Eugelab in Eniwetok atoll. The device was a cylinder 80 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter weighing over 500 tons. The yield was 10 megatons. Eugelab ceased to be an island and became a water filled crater. This crater was later used for other lower yield hydrogen bomb tests in other series.

The immediate destruction of a nuclear explosion is caused by the release of a large amount of energy in the form of heat, blast pressure, and radiation. This leads to the creation of a shockwave that destroys buildings and infrastructure, causing widespread devastation in the surrounding area.

It would not take all the world's nuclear missiles to destroy the world as it only takes a few well-placed ones to cause catastrophic damage. The exact number is hard to determine, as it would depend on various factors such as the target locations and the size of the warheads. Just a small fraction of the world's nuclear arsenal could potentially cause widespread devastation.

Nuclear weapons emit various types of radiation, including gamma radiation, neutron radiation, and thermal radiation. These forms of radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.

For uranium fueled atomic bombs ordinary gunpowders are adequate to assemble a critical mass without a fizzle.

For plutonium fueled atomic bombs high explosives must be used to assemble a critical mass without a fizzle. The first such bombs used Composition B (a predecessor of modern C-4) and Baritol. Modern bombs use shock and fire resistant plastic bonded explosives.

The hydrogen bomb uses nuclear fusion, a reaction in which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy. This differs from nuclear fission, which is the process used in atomic bombs where heavy atomic nuclei are split into lighter ones.

The first hydrogen bomb test by the US in 1952 was part of Operation Ivy and involved scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory, the military personnel overseeing the test, and key government officials. Physicist Edward Teller played a significant role in the development of the hydrogen bomb.

Precautions for nuclear explosions include seeking shelter in a sturdy building or underground, staying away from windows, and following guidance from emergency authorities. Protective measures such as evacuation, decontamination, and monitoring for radiation exposure may be necessary depending on the situation. It is important to stay informed through official channels and follow instructions to ensure safety.

Nuclear bombs primarily use two types of energy: fission and fusion. Fission refers to the splitting of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fusion involves combining atomic nuclei to release energy, both of which are harnessed in the explosive reactions of nuclear bombs.

The force responsible for the release of energy in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons is nuclear fission. This process involves splitting of atomic nuclei, which releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.

For making energy in nuclear reactors. Highly enriched uranium could also be used in war fare as well.

Applications of uranium:

- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors

- explosive for nuclear weapons

- material for armors and projectiles

- catalyst

- additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors)

- toner in photography

- mordant for textiles

- shielding material (depleted uranium)

- ballast

- and other minor applications

The weight of a nuclear missile can vary depending on the specific model and design, but they can typically weigh several tons, ranging from 1 to 100 tons. The weight is influenced by various factors including the size of the warhead, fuel, and guidance systems.

Workers in nuclear power plants wear lead jackets to protect themselves from harmful radiation exposure. Lead is a dense material that is effective in absorbing and blocking radiation, reducing the risk of long-term health effects. This protective gear is especially important in areas with higher radiation levels, such as near nuclear reactors.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, no, nobody has ever built a single bomb of high enough yield to destroy an entire country in one shot; also any such bomb would waste most of its yield in simply blowing off the top of the atmosphere into space. It just isn't practical with a single bomb.

In a nuclear bomb, the transformation of nuclear potential energy (from the nuclei of atoms) into thermal energy and kinetic energy occurs during the process of nuclear fission. This causes a rapid release of energy in the form of a powerful explosion.

This would most likely cause a very intense war with Japan, since they would know that we tried to wipe out 2 of their biggest cities. Luckily, this did not occur, and now Japan is one of America's biggest allies.

Unclear what you mean by largest: physical size or explosive yield?

For size it was the US Ivy Mike device a steel cylinder 80 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter, with 2 foot thick walls. Its yield was 10 megatons.

For yield it was the USSR Tzar Bomba the cleanest hydrogen bomb ever detonated: 52 to 58 megatons, depending on method of measurement. The dirty version (never tested) was to have a yield of 100 megatons.

Plutonium-239 can be prepared by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons. The uranium-238 captures a neutron to form uranium-239, which then undergoes two beta decays to become plutonium-239. The overall reaction can be represented as ^1^0_n + ^2^3^8_U → ^2^3^9_Pu + 2^1_0_e.

so that when men use the weapen during war etc their dick goes hard due to the radioactive chemicals ensuring that they are pleasured during hard times. Therfore, after war they can go home to their prostitutes/wives/partners/lovers and make love to them through sexual intercourse easier thererfore saving our war heros time and ensuring them pleasure.

i hope this answer helped.

Yes, nuclear bombs are many times stronger than hurricane Katrina. Nuclear bombs release energy equivalent to millions of tons of TNT, causing widespread destruction, while hurricanes like Katrina are powerful storms with strong winds and heavy rainfall.

No, one nuclear bomb cannot destroy the entire world. However, a large-scale nuclear war involving multiple bombs could have catastrophic global consequences. The impact would vary depending on the number and size of the bombs detonated.

"Nuke" is a slang term often used to refer to a nuclear weapon or a nuclear explosion. It can also be informally used to mean destroying something or someone using extreme force or power, similar to the devastating impact of a nuclear blast.

The half-life of uranium-239 is 23.45 minutes.
