it cost 4oo dallors of material and the same as 40,000 gerdans
Uranium makes for an excellent element for nuclear fission. Hydrogen is most commonly used for nuclear fusion.
In very round figures, the cost of enough Oralloy (93.5% HEU) or Plutonium to make a bomb is somewhere between $100,000 and $1,000,000, with Plutonium being a bit cheaper at this time.
Depending on the size and type of the bomb and also on the enrichment installation available.
Nuclear energy as obtained in nuclear reactor power plants comes from the fission or splitting of the nuclei of uranium and plutonium. It is not a chemical burning process and does not need any other elements to make it happen.
Uranium is a chemical element in the periodic table of Mendeleev. This means that it consists of its very own kind of atoms that are different from all other kinds of atoms. For example the isotope uranium 238 has 92 protons, 92 electrons and 146 neutrons.

Centrifuges are one method of enriching Uranium. Depending on how much you enrich it the Uranium can be usable as either reactor fuel or nuclear weapon explosive.Other methods of enrichment include:gaseous diffusioncalutronsthermal diffusion
The answer is impossible: we can use uranium in weapons but we can also use uranium in another very useful applications; it is a choice: aggressive countries as United States, United Kingdom, Israel, Russia, etc. can use nuclear weapons as a threat against the other countries.
It may be used in the fusion stage tamper of "clean" hydrogen bombs instead of depleted uranium, but other than that there is little use for it in any nuclear weapon.

No, the atomic bomb and depleted uranium are not the same thing. Nuclear weapons are made with enriched uranium or with plutonium as the fissionable material. Depleted uranium is uranium that is "left over" after natural uranium is put through a process called enrichment to inprove the concentration of the isotope U-235 over that in natural uranium. The enriched uranium with its higher percentage of U-235 is fissionable, and it can be used in nuclear reactors and in nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium is used to make armor-piercing projectiles, and can be put through the neutron flux in an operating reactor to be transformed (transmuted) into plutonium.

Typically 3% uranium-235, 97% uranium-238.
