No. However one of the fission products produced is Iodine-131 and it appears in the fallout. Iodine-131 is a dangerous beta and gamma emitter with a halflife of 8.05 days, it concentrates in the thyroid gland and can selectively kill it or cause cancers in it. Fortunately the halflife is only just over a week, because it then practically disappears in about 5 to 6 weeks. This allows Iodine-131 contaminated food and drink (e.g. fresh milk) to be stored and then safely used when the Iodine-131 has decayed. This also makes it possible to protect the thyroid gland by saturating it with ordinary Iodine (usually as potassium iodide pills) until the Iodine-131 has decayed.

What do you call a scientist that makes bombs?

Is actinium used in bombs?
Actinium itself is not used in bombs. However, it can be a byproduct of nuclear reactions and may potentially be used in the initiation systems of certain types of nuclear weapons.
What are nuclear bombs made out of?
Nuclear bombs are made of highly enriched uranium or plutonium. These materials undergo a nuclear fission chain reaction, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat and radiation, resulting in a powerful explosion. Additionally, nuclear bombs contain conventional high explosive materials to trigger the nuclear reaction and amplify the blast.
What element is used to make electricity and nuclear bombs?
Uranium is the element commonly used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants and as the primary material for nuclear bombs. It undergoes nuclear reactions such as fission to release large amounts of energy.
Is plutonium in nuclear bombs?
Yes, plutonium is used as a key component in nuclear bombs. It is highly fissile and undergoes nuclear chain reactions to release a large amount of energy when triggered, leading to the explosive power of the bomb.

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.
