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.
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.
Why are nuclear bombs more destructive than convectional bombs?
Nuclear bombs release energy from the nucleus of the atom, which is held together by the Strong Force. Conventional bombs release energy from the electron cloud of the atom, which is held to the nucleus by the Electromagnetic Force. The Strong Force is thousands of times stronger than the Electromagnetic Force and thus releases thousands of times as much energy.
Are nuclear bombs stronger than the hurricane Katrina?
Yes, nuclear bombs are many times stronger than hurricane Katrina. Nuclear bombs release energy equivalent to millions of tons of TNT, causing widespread destruction, while hurricanes like Katrina are powerful storms with strong winds and heavy rainfall.
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.
What powers atomic bombs?
The strong nuclear force.

Is a bomb nuclear?
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
How many nuclear bombs does Russia own?
Russia started testing and constructing nuclear, and atomic bombs at the end of WW2. today, they own more the 4000 operational nuclear warheads. along with a total 12000 in storage.
How strong are the nuclear bombs made today compared with the atomic bombs you dropped on japan?
In very round figures modern fusion bombs have yields in the range from 200 kilotons to 400 kilotons with a small number over 1 megaton. The two fission bombs dropped on Japan were 15 kilotons & 22 kilotons respectively.
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.
What is the force that is responsible for the radioactivity that allows us to make nuclear power and atomic bombs?
There are two forces responsible for radioactivity: the Strong nuclear force and the Weak nuclear force.
What are dirty bombs?
hastily made nuclear weaponsAnswer:Regular explosives together with radioactive material, not strong enough for a nuclear explosion, but spreads radiation which is poisonous.
