Most nuclear bombs can be as strong as 20 kilotons (20,000 tons of TNT) up to 60 Megatons (60,000,000 tons of TNT).
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.
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.
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
Fallout is any debris picked up by a blast or strong updraft when it returns to earth, it is not unique to nuclear bombs or even explosions, even large fires generate fallout it just isn't radioactive.

Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
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.
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.

There are two forces responsible for radioactivity: the Strong nuclear force and the Weak nuclear force.
hastily made nuclear weaponsAnswer:Regular explosives together with radioactive material, not strong enough for a nuclear explosion, but spreads radiation which is poisonous.
Beacause millions of lives were taken by the nuclear bombs
No, China has several hundred nuclear bombs and has had bombs since 1964.
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.
