It takes a typical industrialized nation 3 to 4 years to build the required infrastructure (e.g. enrichment plants, reactors, separation plants, fabrication plants), then it usually takes a few weeks to months to build and test the first prototype. Once bomb assembly lines are running bombs can be made at rates of dozens to hundreds per plant per day, with the primary limitation being the rate of production of fissile material to feed the assembly lines.

To build an individual bomb once designed and materials are available is probably only a few days (but the exact time would be classified Top Secret-Q). Also they are now made on assembly lines, so the rate would be much higher than the time per bomb.

I hope the answer to your question is somewhere in the paragraphs above. Your question is kind of broad and ambiguous.

How many nuclear bombs would it take to kill everyone in the world if all detonated at the same time?

It is difficult to determine the exact number of nuclear bombs it would take to kill everyone in the world, as many factors such as location and size of the bombs would come into play. However, it is estimated that a few hundred strategically placed nuclear bombs could have catastrophic global consequences.


How many nuclear bombs would it take to destroy the world?

I don't think that this question should ever be answered in great detail, since so crazy person out there is probably going to then blast this world to smithereens. I'm sure the amount of nuclear bombs could be calculated, but then, who on earth would want to know that? We'll all be dead and that is that. Thankyou.


Why do countries use nuclear bombs?

Countries use nuclear bombs to pronounce dominance to the world and show that they are not to be messed with. They are also a quick, extremely hard blow that kill many and can end conflict extremely fast, like in WWII the United States dropped two bombs on Japan and very soon afterwards, Japan surrendered because the fear of more bombs had weakoned civilian morale and Japan could not take another hit like that.


How many nuclear bombs would it take to blow up the world?

About 10700000000000000000000000 h bombsThis is a complicated function of:yieldslocations of burstsmaterial around burstsetc.It would be far far easier to just blow away the atmosphere and leave the earth alone and even far far easier to light firestorms in all the forests and fill the stratosphere with soot for decades causing nuclear winter.


How powerful is a nuclear bomb?

A nuclear bomb is extremely powerful, and that's why there are many countries seeking to obtain this power. Since the US is such a "responsible" country, the president is only aloud to look at the directions of how to control our countries nuclear power when in an emergency. The power of a nuclear bomb is typically measured in kilotons or megatons. 1 megaton is the equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT (similar to dynamite) blowing up. The largest nuclear bombs were around 50 megatons, or 50 million tons (or 50 billion kilograms) of TNT. The smallest nuclear bombs were around 10 tons (yes, that is only 0.01 kiloton). Note that at this time (2013) no country stockpiles bombs either that large or that small (about 50 kilotons to 300 kilotons is currently typical). Also, a nuclear bomb is powerful enough to take out an entire city, while spreading deadly radioactive fallout throughout the area. There is still some leftover radiation in places like Hiroshima and the various above ground test sites.

How many bombs would it take to blow up the sun?

To say how many nuclear bombs it would take to blow up the sun is almost impossible. Actually the sun is a continuously exploding thermonuclear bomb, that's where the energy comes from - fusion. It doesn't matter how many bombs you shot into the sun, it would just get hotter.
