plutonium and neutrons
For bombs such as atomic or nuclear, I believe it is a nuclear engineer.
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.
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.
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.
When it comes to heavy elements that are used in weapons and in reactors, uranium and plutonium are both candidates. The first atomic bombs were made of uranium, and they are now pretty much made of plutonium. Some special nuclear reactors are powered by plutonium fuel, but most reactors for power generation use (enriched) uranium for fuel.

Uranium, plutonium or hydrogen.
They were made by the United States during WW2.
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.

Never, at least not yet.
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.
None, the US currently only refurbishes existing bombs.
The nuclear material used to make the bombs was from Oak Ridge TN
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.
