JudyStructures made of reinforced concrete or steel, underground bunkers, and specially designed military installations are capable of withstanding the impact of a nuclear bomb. Geographic factors like distance from the blast, shielding from hills or mountains, and being underwater can also provide some level of protection.

Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
Is a bomb a nuclear reaction?
No, a bomb is not necessarily a nuclear reaction. A bomb can be any device that is designed to explode and cause destruction, whereas a nuclear reaction involves the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei to release energy. Nuclear bombs, also known as atomic bombs, utilize nuclear reactions to produce a very powerful explosion.
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases energy through nuclear fission (splitting of atomic nuclei). Nuclear weapon is a broader term that encompasses atomic bombs, as well as hydrogen bombs which release energy through nuclear fusion (combining atomic nuclei).
How to make nuclear bomb-?
To make a nuclear bomb, you need the fissionable material such as a Plutonium239 isotope, an explosive to start the nuclear chain reaction, a detonator, and a pusher.
What is an atom bomb?
An atom bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases immense amounts of energy by splitting atoms through a process called nuclear fission. This results in a powerful explosion that can cause widespread destruction.
