What is the amount of heat released by a nuclear bomb?
This will vary widely and be proportional to yield.
How does a neutron bomb explode?
A neutron bomb is a form of nuclear weapon. It explodes in several steps. In the first step, control circuits fire electronic blasting caps cause conventional explosives to detonate. They are shaped in such as way that the explosion crushes a ball of nuclear material (mainly plutonium) causing that to produce nuclear fission (an atomic explosion). THAT serves as the trigger to a nuclear fusion explosion- (similar to the hydrogen bomb). This releases heat, blast, and neutrons.
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.
A form of energy that can produce heat light magnetism and electrical charges?
Nuclear Fission
Does the Sun produce its own heat?
Yes it does, though a massive (natural) nuclear fusion process.
Does a bomb produce gamma rays?
Conventional bombs (dynamite, TNT, etc.) are not powerful enough to produce gamma rays. Gamma rays are only produced in a nuclear bomb or a thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb where nuclear reactions take place.
What major bombing did roaches survive?
It is a myth that roaches could survive a nuclear bomb. The heat would evaporate them.
What is the purpose a nuclear reactor?
To produce heat.
What is the only thing that a nuclear reactor can do?
Produce heat (energy) from nuclear fission.

What do nuclear bombs have to do with heat?
They produce a great deal of it.

does nuclear fission produce energy?
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.

Where does the sun produce heat?
From the nuclear reaction of burning hydrogen!
What makes up a nuclear bomb?
Depends on the type of bomb. The first nuclear weapons were fission weapons- they used a heavy metal such as Uranium or Plutonium. These metals, when compressed by explosives, would undergo nuclear fission, and break into lighter elements, releasing heat and radiation. Later, larger bombs were fusion bombs. They used a fission bomb to start the nuclear reaction, but then used that energy to FUSE light elements, such as Deuterium and Tritium into heavier elements, releasing LARGE amounts of heat and radiation.
Uses of heat?
Heat from nuclear energy is used to produce steam to drive a turbine/generator
