A nuclear weapon can be considered more dangerous than another weapon in several ways.
The blast radius of a hydrogen bomb is much more than that of a nuclear fission device used at the end of World War II. The blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were known to vaporize humans and melt the buildings of the cities. Pools of steel were all that remained. No humans.
The long term effects of the weapon, also known as "fallout" can devastate the land. In other words, it mutates the people, the crops, the animals, and in general, it would be unwise to venture into these contaminated lands for, say 60 years, give or take a decade.
Of course, the nuclear weapons used on Japan released only 7% of the power of the mass. In theory, anti-matter releases 100% of its mass energy when it comes into contact with any other matter. However, CERN, the leading authority on anti-matter production, would take roughly one billion years to produce enough anti-matter to match the energy levels of a Hiroshima-sized blast.
A nuclear weapon is more dangerous than other weapons because of its ability to cause mass destruction on a massive scale with devastating long-term effects, such as radiation exposure and environmental damage. The destructive power of a nuclear explosion far exceeds that of conventional weapons, making it capable of killing millions of people and causing widespread destruction in a single strike. Additionally, the proliferation of nuclear weapons increases the risk of accidental or intentional use, posing a significant threat to global security.

Which bomb is more dangerous a nuclear bomb or an atomic bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are virtually synonymous. The two terms are both used to refer to a nuclear weapon. Even Wikipedia agrees. The use of either term as a search argument redirects the answer to the article Nuclear Weapon. A link is provided. from benjaminmarkiewicz that dont make any sense a nuclear bombs blow travels 100s of miles and is more powerful cause its the newly invented bomb and the atomic bombs blow travel is under a nuclear bombs travel rate
If a nuclear weapon exploded on a nuclear Power Plant would the explosion radius increase?
No, a nuclear explosion on a nuclear power plant would not cause the explosion radius to increase. The explosion radius would be determined by the yield of the nuclear weapon itself, not by the presence of the power plant.
Is a nuke the same as the atom bomb?
An atom bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that relies on nuclear fission, while "nuke" is a colloquial term used to refer to any type of nuclear weapon, including both fission and fusion bombs. So, all atom bombs are nukes, but not all nukes are atom bombs.
Why are so many people opposed to nuclear power?
Many people are opposed to nuclear power due to concerns about safety, such as the risk of accidents and radiation leaks. There are also worries about the long-term storage of nuclear waste and the potential for nuclear proliferation. Additionally, some view nuclear power as an outdated technology that should be replaced with cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
What does a nuke do?
A nuke, short for nuclear weapon, is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions. When detonated, it releases immense heat, blast waves, and radiation, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The impact of a nuclear weapon can have devastating long-term effects on the environment and human health.
Is an bomb or a nuclear weapon more powerful?
If by "bomb" you mean a conventional explosive weapon, then the nuclear weapon is more powerful.
Can anybody sell uranium?
No, because it can be extremely dangerous, even used in a nuclear weapon. The uranium trade is made under the control of International Atomic Energy Agency Safeguards. Uranium is not so dangerous. Lead, cadmium or mercury are, for example, more dangerous. Now nuclear weapons have plutonium as fissionable material, not with uranium.
How many more times can a nuclear explosions be more powerful than the largest conventional weapon?
theoretically the yield of nuclear weapons is unlimited.
Which weapon does Russia has which is more powerful than nuclear bomb?
perhaps biological
Will Cuba nuke America?
Not too likely. Does Cuba have the infrastructure to develop a nuclear weapon? Will any country sell a nuclear weapon to Cuba? More likely that terrorists will obtain a nuclear weapon either from a form Soviet Republic, or a small state such as North Korea, Pakistan or India.
How much does it take to break down a nuclear weapon into its raw resources?
it takes more than 2min.
Which country has the more weapon power?
Number of nuclear weapons by country: Country # of nuclear weapons USA 10'300 Russia 16'000 China 410 France 350
What would the US government do if there was a major advancement in the field of biology happened in the U.S. that could be used as a more effective and devastating weapon than a nuclear weapon?
They certainly wouldn't tell anybody about it...
What Processes depend on fusion Check all that apply. A.energy production in the sun B.energy production in nuclear reactors C.the hydrogen bomb D.energy production from fuel cells?
It's A and C. The sun and most other stars are fusion reaction engines, and hydrogen bomb (perhaps more properly a fusion nuclear weapon) apply nuclear fusion to do what they do.
What is more powerful the bomb dropped over Hiroshima or a modern nuclear weapon?
Anywhere from about 1/20th to 20 times the yield, depending on the expected usage.
Why would there be a WW3?
Probabaly Iran launching a nuclear warhead at us because of the "you-should-be-more-like-us" harassment, the missile supplied by their friend, Russia, leading to nuclear war followed by nuclear winter, and the human race dies out.(hope the nuke is their most powerful non-nuclear weapon in their arsenal instead.)
Will a stored buried generator survive an emp?
You are thinking of an emp from a nuclear weapon? Perhaps the Pentagon knows. I should think electronic equipment and computers are at more risk.
