Depends on the exact bomb:
- for most of the 1950s most US atomic bombs were 5 feet in diameter as that was the size of a standard bomb bay.
- nuclear artillery shells and missile warheads have been built with diameters as small as 6 inches.
- the Ivy Mike device tested in 1952 was 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet tall.
Basically pick any size you want as required by your application, a nuclear bomb can probably be made in that diameter.
What else can I help you with?
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
What is the different between a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb?
Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
How much energy was involved in the Big Bang event?
The Big Bang event involved an immense amount of energy, estimated to be equivalent to the explosion of billions of nuclear bombs.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
The application of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
Very big bombs.
Is a bomb nuclear?
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
Why thermo nuclear bombs are called dirty bombs?
Beacause millions of lives were taken by the nuclear bombs
Are nuclear bombs illegal in China?
No, China has several hundred nuclear bombs and has had bombs since 1964.
How many nuclear bombs per week US builds nuclear bombs?
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.

How wide was a nuclear bomb?
The Atom bomb missle itself was several feet in diameter. (There were two bombs and one was actually a bit bulkier than the other one. They were named "Little Boy" and "Fat Man") A nuclear explosion, however, is much bigger. The bombs detonated over Japan had a destrucitve diameter of about twenty miles. That's allot!
