In the Nagasaki bomb, about 14 pounds. Design criteria on later weapons is classified.
The most powerful type of nuclear bomb is the hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb. These bombs use a two-stage process, with an initial fission reaction triggering a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion compared to atomic bombs.
A hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear bomb that uses a two-stage process involving fission and fusion reactions, resulting in a much more powerful explosion than a traditional nuclear bomb, which typically only uses fission reactions. In contrast, a standard nuclear bomb, also known as an atomic bomb, relies purely on fission reactions to release energy.
Cca. 50 kg of highly enriched uranium. Now nuclear bombs use plutonium, not uranium.
ugh there was 10000kgs in fatman aka 100 sticks
It is estimated that 1 kilogram of U235 can produce approximately 24,000 MWh of electricity in a nuclear reactor. This amount can vary depending on the efficiency of the reactor and the specific conditions of operation.
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
alot
There isn't much difference in these terms. Both refer to nuclear weapons, and they are general terms that can pretty much be used interchangeably.
The Little Boy nuclear bomb weighed about 9,700 pounds (4,400 kg).
Yes, a hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a huge amount of energy through nuclear fusion reactions. This energy release is much more powerful than that of a typical atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission reactions.

One bomb? Not much. Thousands of bombs? Severe disaster.
A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
Yes and no depending on the size of the bomb or reaction and also the size of the state if it was Texas the bomb or reaction would have to be as big as or bigger then an apartment room.But a nuclear bomb isn't the most powerful bomb in the world the most powerful bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
20 Billion. That's including silos and other facility's to maintain an launch the bomb.
